1980 XJ650 17k miles Fred, VA

Well it has been real, but the time has come for me to step away from the XJ world. Thanks to all of those that have made this forum a great resource. Never really spent much time on aesthetics but it runs solidly. I mostly commute on the bike 35 miles each way. Here is the rundown on my bike.

Not sure of how much to ask, I figure I will stick at $1500 for awhile and see how things shake out. Any opinions on that price?

little backfire popping on decel

 

You should really update the picture in your ad if you want to get a good price for your bike. You've got the stock bars, no windshield, and a huge dent in the tank in the pic. Maybe even roll it out of the garage and take some nice pics on a good day.

I was hoping to sell my 750 Seca in similar road ready condition for the same price. My plans have changed (I had extra parts that I planned on selling with the bike that weren't painted, now I'm getting them painted and I don't want to sell the bike). Hope you get some interest on CL

 

Lol yeah, that is on my todo list today. I figure most people that would be interested in such a bike would watch the video and thus see what they were actually getting. Had not actually planned on selling until end of April so I figured I would just put out a "feeler" to see if any interest.

 

Looks like a nice "Honest" bike. I hope you get your price
