'78 XS650
« on: March 25, 2011, 03:10:31 pm »


I have a chance at maybe buying this for a reasonable price, it looks like its in great shape (ill be seeing in person soon). Only 3k so its likely been sitting quite a bit (though it looks like it was kept in a good garage).

It looks to be in pristine original shape, and I even like the rear rack. I was kinda looking at getting a good twin and this looks like it might be the ticket.

What do you guyes think?

 Do it. XS's are bullet proof, easy to work on, parts are available and there's a huge internet network of forums and support. They're also almost infinitely customizable, if that's your thing.
 
 What's he asking?
