Kawi Green.... Still luv that color after all these years...

Damn seriously, you have to do this old girl some justice & love...
Clean/buff out that engine/cases/swing arm....

It's like putting a fur coat on an ugly women... Still ugly as hell... But you throw some cosmetics, make up and such and that same women becomes gorgeous, you now have a beautiful girl where everyone just wants to look at her and gleam....
