What do you guys think about this XR650L? It has a great deal of upgrades.

2004 Honda XR650L, 2004 model with about 9500 road miles, ridden VERY little off road or on dirt, maybe 100 miles total off pavement. Bought this bike for commuting and fun and it's been used only that way, I'm 47 and don't ride like a 17 year old and this bike proves it.. Meticulously maintained and in near perfect shape. I have the original, better looking but smaller gas tank and it will go with the bike.
It has a 4.2 gallon IMS tank, XR'sOnly red anodized case saver sprocket cover, chain guide and shark fin rear disc protector, Pro-Taper bars, and an oil cooler. Currently has 40 tooth sprocket for road use, will run 95 all day long without overheating, also have a 44 and 42 tooth sprockets for dirt use. It's running street tires currently, street only, not street knobbies. The tumorous rear tail light has been removed and replaced with cleaner better looking unit that has excellent visibilty. It also is running a FMF exhaust and UNI filter, jet Kit. This bike gets a solid 44 MPG on the highway at 70mph. Most of the goodies except tank and exhaust were added after these pics were taken.
It starts easy and runs perfect, very dependable and has never let me down. Incredible throttle response even with the little rear sprocket on it.
