    Well - certainly not pretty - but for $125 you couldn't beat it for a parts bike...

    Yeah, I went and looked too, it was pretty beat up. But if you needed a yics engine it may be worth it.

    True if you see it at least turn over which was not possible for me at the time. I passed on it because every fastener is rusted solid - even to part it out would be very painful. Imagine freeing the headers without breaking the studs - same with the manifolds. Back wheel locked up might not even be able to get the wheels off without hours of labor. Not worth it to me.

    If I was closer I might have gone back on a warmer day (was 18 I think when I went) and try to get the plugs out and turn it over manually.

    anyway might be good for someone

    I paid $300 for a parts bike but I rode it home stuck in first gear.
    I used the rear wheel/tire, new-looking seat, windshield and highway bars.

    Completely rusted shut bike is a shame and of no interest. Unless it was a 900 Seca. Then maybe.

    650 Maxims in good condition are plentiful.
