Looks the goods. Doesn’t look like there is too much restoring to do. I wish todays bikes had that much room for acces to the engine and air filter.

its in good nick for $450 but will pull it down and powder coat the frame
needs a loom and battery eliminator
and a new seat is a must as the base is cracked and rusted

I had the next one, blue tank, that I got when it was 2yold! Rode it every day, my only form of transport.
Had the big bore kit (205cc) and hollow exhaust.
Many a ride home, early hours of the morning, in upper mountains
pea soup fog on the way from Blackheath girlfriends (big boobs) back to Katoomba! Used to sit at the
fish shop till a coal truck came past and tuck in behind, all the way to home!!

Those were the days!

Ride for a root, ride to work, race on sat, fast ride with the boys on sunday….. and only 1 bike!!

I have a 1978 xl with a 23″ front wheel, if your bikes the same I found Kenda are the only people you can get a tube from and it’s worth buying a few as it’s a 6 week wait.
