Hi, ex rider here. Andy from singaporebikes.com 
I can say it served me well during my 2B days.
1) Fairly well for the beginning, after which u will hate it for
the lack of power when with ur kakis. Trying to keep up with
them.
2) Black yes, but not shiny ones.
3) You can change to watever kind of bar but recommended to keep it
short like stock condition coz the power to manoevue is not
much.
4) FQ magmas (the ones with VT 125 stickers on the side tank
instead of the MAGMA125) shd be lesser than 2.5K now. In fact, I
think it shd be readily available for less than 2K.
5) Complaints? not really. However, forget about going back to the
deal CCK for maintanience, DIY will be MUCH cheaper.
6) it USED to be the best looking cruiser in 2B (IMHO) till the
phantom200 pops along. The fuel consumption is sure one plus
poiint.
7) lots of TLC and autosol or brasso.
CHEERS!
