leaving the country, need to sell the XS

Hi Guys,

I am selling my beloved bike.

I don't need to tell you how that makes me feel, nor how awesome it is, but if anyone is interested in a bike, this might be the one for you.


Things of interest about it:
new clutch (~5,000 km ago)
new fuse box (~2,000 km ago)
new carburettors (now Mikuni smooth bore, 38mm with K&N filters. Yep, awesome. ~ 10,000km ago)

Things that aren't original, but that previous owners have obviously changed:
4 into 1 exhaust

I have added:
leather panniers + pannier rack (leather, 20L each, I think - not in the photos, that's venturi (shitty) ones - you can have those too if you like, but I never liked them: odd shape, crappy build quality etc etc)
Venturi rack-top bag (65L)

Mechanically, the bike is super. Spark plug number 1 has a helicoil, but that's about the only glitch I can find. Leaks virtually no oil.
Check the pics for carbs, air filters, clutch, odometer (it's 34 years old, odo. has probably wound around), awesome places you can go, and gear you can fit.

I can deliver the bike anywhere on the east cost.

The photos are viewable on a gumtree ad. I am interested to hear if anyone has an offer.
