Someone asked not so long ago about the original cost of these bikes (I searched for the thread but to no avail).
from my December 1970 edition of Two Wheels (which cost 40 cents), a XS1 could be had for $1139 Aussie.
Incedently, the same mag lists:
Kwaka W650 at $1066
CB 750 at $1485
Norton Commando $1322
BSA Lightning $1060
Triumph T120 $995
BMW R60 $1150
From Big Bike magazine in March 1976, a XS650C (in California) was selling for $1544 + tax & title. (source bikernet)
