Haven't bought this yet, and trying to find out what it is just in case there is info about potential issues with components.
The bike is not for me, but a coworker and I do not want him to start out with issues to deal with.

That is why I am seeking help.

Thanks!

Might be a 1995 or 1996 Killer V 500 with a non stock fork.

The 1996 Killer V 500 is listed as having a 'polished' (silver) finish.

https://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...ler+V+500+(02)

There's photos of 95/96 Killer V 500's that look the same.

From a 1996 catalog:
