I cant wrap my head around these prices... they're outta my league...the days of cheap bikes is over for sure..............
that first 77 is a 76........
The second 77 has had the rev-counter changed, (still has the brake lining wire so the Rev-counter should have the warning light)........I guess the question is has the speedo been as well, so question mark on the Mileage.
the days of cheap bikes is over for sure..............

I am a turnkey buyer..that said these bikes rarely stay turnkey..if you love to tinker and have the time...enrgy..tools and aptitude then these are perfect bikes to own and maintain..My problem is that i am not mechanically inclined passed routine maintenence..and so i will always need someone elses help...Couple this to the fact that i am retired and on a very fixed income...I can only afford one bike..So for me none of these bikes are going to fill the bill..I know what will and its pretty much just gas oil and tars...on a modern ..fairly up to date machine..But I do love the vintage rides best..who knows..nothing is set in stone...Wow that is in excellent shape, $4200 for a stock bike. Prices are very good these days. If you were wanting a xs650 and wanted something running and stock you are looking at around $3500 to $5000 probably, that is a lot! Of course if you are willing to restore it yourself you can save a lot of money. You can get a rough standard project for less than $500 sometimes. But even a project could be more.
