    I think he might be one of those people that put a low price to grab attention but are after something else. Trade for a running car/truck tells me he’s after more than $500. Bunch of that stuff here too, listed for $1k and then the add reads $7900 OBO

    They might just be off for the summer.
    I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment with a hot-running engine and fairly sure it's inadequate airflow by the lowers doen't help things.
    They'll be off tomorrow.

    Actually for an XS650 it is in the right ballpark that's about what they're going for.

    Wow, I am selling my running project bikes way too low then. I know it is all about supply and demand. Also location....location... Hope the seller gets what they want for the bike.

    That 750 looks an awful lot like a 900

    I suppose that is possible...

    Did they sell the '84 XJ900RL with the frame mounted fairing in Canada?

    Jeez, for $500.... might be interesting

    Don't know if it was sold in Canada but l believe the 750 motor fits the 900 frame. Same crankcase l think. Probably a different stroke.

    Of course it does. The 750rl is basically a 750 engine in a otherwise 900rk
