Went and looked at a pair of xs650’s for sale through word of mouth yesterday. They were stuck in the back of a garage so I couldn’t get picturesof data tags, etc. 1) Heritage Special, complete with 14k miles 2) Special, year unknown, complete with 13k miles. Both have been sitting in a garage for a few years, gas drained and tanks sprayed with oil, cylinders fogged. Both painted black, seems original. Pretty cruddy with some corrosion but engines turn over with lots of compression. Questions:
A) Special has reardisk brake and black painted cylinders - range of years?
B) I can get them for $500 for the pair - worth it?
C) If I clean out carbs and rebuild brakes what would they be worth in running condition but somewhat well used cosmetics?
Thinking about project bikes for my kids. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
