And you thought early XS650 prices were getting steep...

Wow, that sure brings back memories, thanx, gggGary.
Wish my crystal ball worked back then.

I remember we charged a premium to synchronize those early models, sometimes took all day...

I'd hard-tail it.

EDIT: That really sucks about the red bike just getting sent to a crusher. I guess someone didn't realize what they had?

For 150k, this caliper bolt and washer looks awfully rinky-dink.

I wonder if it was Honda that crushed it? A good bud used to work in a Honda training facility, they often got prototypes and ser #1 bikes to use in classes. When they were done they were forklifted into the dumpster and sent off to the crusher.
I did benefit from a midnight dumpster raid or 3. LOL But all that stuff is gone now. At one time I had a brand new in the box single cam CB750 motor....

Hahaha! Good eye Mick! It's also missing the spring!

Yeah, Honda's early 'teething' years with disc brakes, squeelers they were...
