Pretty much a dogs breakfast of a bike... if you are good with wrenching skills, on the side of the track.. then might be a worthwhile "project" bike, that is high maintenance... mind you I write this second hand and not from personal experience... purely based on Steve_Halts experiences... enough to put me off, as I and a mate had looked at buying the LX450 more than once, thankfully Steve's brush with the beast put us right!
