Default Before posting on craigslist...what do you all think?

So I am selling my motorcycle to later pick up a sport bike...How does this sound in the listing? Anything else I should add? CHange? etc..?

EDIT* Pics below
EDIT** Here is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1gRPg3a-Q4

1995 Honda Shadow - VLX600 - $2650

Up for sale is a 1995 Honda Shadow VLX600 with 18,850 Miles on it. I bought it as a learner bike, and oh what a perfect bike it is for that and MORE! I just put on a new tire at the end of August with only 1425 miles on the new tire. The bike runs like a champ and handles like a champ. A few owners ago, they decided to remove the Shadow decals and put on their own. I recently removed them and they have left an AWESOME fade job. Pictures of the tank are below.

Extras the bike comes with:
OEM Sissy Bar
Windshield (some scratches in line of sight)
Aftermarket pipes (sounds more like a Harley than a Honda!)
Leather Jacket.
Leather gloves with studded palms for added grip.

Reason for selling: I am upgrading to a sport bike.

Contact info:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Craigslist is the shit!
