Painted Plastics...how easy to clean?
What do you think? I am looking at another with black painted plastics. The paint is flaking off most of them...I think they were just taken off and rattle canned... I bet if I pulled them and took them to the car wash/power washer most all the paint would come right off???

A KDX can be kicked over with your hand. Very easy....
The plastics question.... who knows what kind of paint he used.

Nope. Just an easy jab.
Bigger problem will be seat height.
What's your inseam?
Plastics get roughed up on every ride. Count on buying new ones at some point as the shrouds get bent backward and crack around the rad bolt holes. Price them out now, so you get a better idea what you will be facing. DO a search here for bargain side covers (hint, hint).
Front Fenders always have a nice set of scratch marks across the nose, but are cheap. Rear fenders get pretty trashed, too.
What's with that seat cover?
Points to look for:
Is the original Electrofusion bore still in good shape?
Frame straight?
All original or some kinda Franken-bike?
Count on spending some fix up money, so don't blow the budget on the bike purchase.
