I agree with andymoto. I think 1990 and '91 the radiator shrouds didn't go all the way to the tank. They didn't start with the shrouds going all the way to the gas tank until 1992 and I believe this is 1990.

The seat and graphics are from a 90 (but the 90 didn't have blue forks)

Edit: The frame bolts match the 1990. So, it is 1990 with forks that were later added from a 91, 92 or 93.

Pass that bike up. In restored condition it's a POS on the track. You're welcome.

Rule 1:

Always restore a bike you ALWAYS WANTED so the cost and time invested will be offset by appreciation. Don't buy a bucket on craigslist because it's a few hundred bucks and avaliable. Search for the bike you want.
