78 XS 650 SPECIAL
Vehicle Description

bought last year w/14000 miles. ran great until 3 weeks ago. mech. says crank shot. still runs but sounds awful. I put in new points, condenser, plugs, rear shocks, front heavy duty springs, fork seals. passed inspection till 6/08. all parts original but I put superbike bars on it. original were shot. i have lost my love for this bike, so out it goes. Will part out if dont sell. pick up here or you make arrangements to pickup here. will not take anywhere. no overseas sales, u.s. cash or postal money order or certified ck.


buy it now price: US $5,155.00 (thats it, buy it for $5,155.00,No bidding

Maybe just a misplaced decimal point? $ 515.50 sounds about right?

Bike looks pretty clean.....rather replace the crank than trying to bring a trash heap life............1 day job compared to months........if it's really only the crank.....

I think this guy probably paid to much for the bike when he bought it. The bike does looks nice but with a bad crank he probably would be better off parting it out. I still think he won't get 1/4 of what his firm price is, but who knows.
