So, back in June of this Summer, I spotted a great deal on a 1980 XS650 and immediately snagged it. Then, yesterday this 1980 popped up...same sort of great deal but this was in even better condition, in fact its in impeccable condition. Both just a touch over 7,000 miles, both runners. Need to clean the carbs on the latest one though...thats fine, I enjoy tinkering and bringing them back from the dead.

Wow, they do look nice. Two identical bikes? I'd have to keep a journal on each one so I wouldn't get the work done on one confused with the other one. I have enough trouble keeping the work done on three very different vehicles straight.
