Please stop doing this to me

, I prefer to keep my dream intact and just imagine how great these bikes were (And they were when brand new and in their day)

Besides XR500A model is 1980 so cant buy as false advertising

**dino3310** · 21st August 2013, 21:04

actually 79-80 were 500a.....
the only changes from the 79 to 80 were 'Honda wing decal on the tank, The control levers and kick starter arm are black, and the muffler is smaller.

Just like most other salesman who tell fibs aye

Rocked up to the Honda Shop In 79 and rode out on my brand new XR500Z

So salesman is telling porkies, no sale

(though admit am thinking about it

)

This wee bike is no longer running but someone may be able to fix it up - have had some diagnostics done at Cycle Treads, after replacing the cdi and coil they say it may be the stator, or it may be dodgy old wiring.

Sounds like a bargain right!

Comes with a box of bits, manual, service history and a spare tyre - might be able to get started if someone knows what they're doing. S=R is $200

Clicky linky to Tardme

is it the same donkey as the NX-1 of which(might be) i think is a water cooled XR250 motor, if im right then the lecky stuff shouldnt be to hard to source, would pick it up myself if i had some spare pingers.
will be a good buy for someone

**fridayflash** · 24th August 2013, 23:43
