XS650 Craigslist postings depository

That is a very pretty bike indeed - but, only 876 miles in 41 years....there's a story there.

I'll betcha somebody's mummy or wifey got a big surprise after coming home from the bridge club or Tuesday session of the stitch-'n-bitch group, and waggled her finger.

....and THAT put an end to young Oliver's dreams of biker heaven...

Kinda sad to hear about the circumstances. I sold her this 79F.
But it is still a well respected bike
:thumbsup:

Man! That is a great bike and a great price! I never knew why you let that one go, I’d buy that in a heartbeat!

Bob I let it go because it was a fun spontaneous winter project that looked like an easy win , and it was.
I needed cash for med bills though.
A previous little darn nose skin cancer cost me more than that bike ! And now I’ve just paid off my med bills over that shoulder ligament tear too..
It’s getting tough to be a working class cycle nut ... in the city now ! Expensive. I need an adobe SouthWest cycle shop !! Help
:cool:

New posting in Portland Oregon
I wonder what he paid the guy in MN for it
I never saw this one on MN Craigslist must have been awhile ago
That looks like one hell of a deal !! I have a friend in Portland but don't want to hassle with the shipping cost
Oh well 2 - 75s have to be good enough for now
One or two seals on block leak a little oil when it's hot?? (Stop looking LoL)
Time to get outside before the rain and stop thinking about it Damn LOL

:agree:
Portland Craigslist continues to be a reasonable source to find very descent low mileage Standard XS650’s .
Some patience required...
Time To move on I need a bigger bike for the longer trips I've been going on the past few summers
Completely different subject
2004 Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit - $2600 19,025 miles on it
I'd post the ad but I haven't figured it out yet
Any opinions (I know it's not a 650 )

TX750 low miles. Nice to see but..
What 2 years of the 750 were crap/ one of my brothers has one from new and it gave him nothing but grief for years
He finally just parked it in his shed
