Reserve is $3900.

I'd have to repaint it, replace the exhaust with the original type, fit an original air filter assembly, period correct signals and shocks, paint that catch bottle or whatever it is.  :wink:

I'd probably get the paint done, and then collect all the classic parts for a second set of clothes. The original shocks can't be dialed in the way those Ohlins can!

That's a Sport seat anyway, so yeah, needs to go.

"Game On" is a very poor substitute for the cute witch graphics.

needs paint , seat and at least another headlight
and lose the indicators
it would make a handsome little bike with the clipons and rearsets fitted...

if it has been standing for a long time without changing engine oil , the main bearings will soon need changing.

I remember the witch decal on the first 500's, but I don't disagree with your statement.
It's too bad that it was painted that horrible color and subjected to those poor graphics.
I really like Morinis, but that paint is really bothering me.
Oh well.

Now if he added " original parts available to make stock again" it would be worth jumping on. This is one reason I like to keep my bikes stock (as much as possible), stock bikes sell better.

It's still "worth jumping on" IMO and I'm betting there are a bunch more folks that feel the same way. Would I rather it came with original shocks, mufflers, etc.? Of course, but if I was in the market for a Morini (already have mine, thanks  :azn:) I wouldn't let the (reversible) modifications deter me.
