this one has no front fairing period. I boaught off my manager last summer, really to teach my next door neighbour to ride. After my expert teachings, she now rides a 00zx6r. Don't really talk to her much though! The guy has had it since new and dropped going around a corner. He changed the tank (never repainted it and kept it in storage for a while then once in a while would take her out to ride. Tire size, no clue, all I know is that the originals are on it and dried out. The tank needs a paint job and the carbs a clean up. I actually raced it against my bike with a buddy down by the airport and it goes! It can be an awsom bike for anyone, I just don't have the space and time to do what I wanted to do.
