1982 Honda XL500R INFO?
« on: July 11, 2023, 04:21:54 PM »
Stumbled on this super clean Honda today. Anyone out there owned one and prepared to talk me out of it? Any horrible flaws with this model?  I think it’s missing a “bash guard”, but the top end is fresh, tires are new and more……… I swore I wouldn’t buy another bike until my three current projects are complete. Help!

That's a beauty for sure. Usually found beat to death and hardy ever found with an intact muffler!
