Is that price the going price? Or is that out of the ordinary? Seems like a lot to me here in the US. Maybe I'm spoiled because I only gave $550 for mine? They must be very sought after down there if that kind of selling price is common.
I do like that color. Good looking bike.

Actually i thought it had been sold as when i looked at it it had 1 hour to run and was up to that price..........didn't meet the reserve and was offered to watchers and bidders for $5,500 NZ. Back up for Auction again.

If the engine had had some work on it then the price wouldn't be to far off, but the seller has not indicated that any has been done.

Up to $12-13,00AUS maybe more for a good restored XS1
maybe $6-7 or more for an XS2/TX and people are asking for $5,000 for a totally rebuilt Specials. a good motor will set you back $1,200

Depends on where you live here in AUS on how much you will get for them
Check out the for sale column on our site

I got the notion some time ago that they did make a TX in that gold color, perhaps the same color as the TX750, but not sure. Somewhere I saw on a Pacific export color chart that Yamaha's name for that color was "pearl yellow". The only picture I ever saw of one though was a blurry shot of a 1973 brochure cover offered on ebay from a seller in NZ. I would love to paint my rider in that color, but judging by the price quoted to me to match the factory blue color on my project '73 TX it will out of the question, as well as buying the above bike and having it shipped back to the states would be.
But the pics you posted were refreshing enough to quench my intrest in that color bike, so thanks much for posting them Skull, they're in my archive already.
