Electric start. Red, Black and White. Always been garage kept when not ridden. It is in excellent condition and needs no work done. It is charged and ready to ride right now! We put on handle bar covers to block from wind/rocks. We also have a matching helmet and goggles to go with it! I believe it is a 2008 but may be a 2009. It is in pristine condition and has recently been power-washed clean.
