I suppose you could just ask...........is it a matching frame and engine number bike.......also are the frame and engine starting with the same prefix ?
That way he would nt have to divulge that Ultra secret information he wishes not to disclose.

Ok excess.11 you may be right.
The seller does not want to provide any further information other than "1979".
Mike replies to my enquiry with "Sorry don't give out eng no's etc".
And you cann't see the number plate in any of the photos.

Nope....side covers...frame....seat...are E...F....model.....only things i think are 80/ 81 are the paint scheme and engine....not a matching numbers bike....but a nice restoration.
OOps..stand corrected......there s a few variations so it seems on the 80G....the Au/European  versions have same seat and side cover as E AND F .........usa has angled seat bottom rail to suit angled side cover.....
http://xs1100.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=1964.msg12726#msg12726
So would I be right in sayin.............only the 1981H model had the usa 1980G looks here in Aus?
Then I saw this 1982? model..............that jonesy posted ???

Now listed at $5,500......how many times have we seen this same scenario ?
Illusions of grandeur  :o
High $2000 odd is more realistic as a top end price.

You may have hit on something that was bothering me Eddy...........not only is the so called 79 model the wrong paint scheme.........the engine kickstart spline is missing if it is supposed to be a 79 model.
Wonder how matching the frame and engine numbers are ?
It may be a bitzer ........which is stretching it a bit for the asking price.
Actually...... quite a lot .

Hmmmmmm?

79 dressed up as an "81??????
Ridgey didge exhaust is a plus

Nice patina as Bretto would say.

$7250 is definitely not unreasonable.....just there isn't a market (yet) for these treasures.

A nice unmolested bike .....for the cheeky asking price i would of thought the owner might have presented it in a little more pristine condition.
Polish the front fork tubes....rechrome the exhaust and other tired looking parts.
Still....not too many come up as complete and original as this one.
