As the last sale worked so well, I thought i'd try again with these two. Honda XL600 and Honda XR600 - i don't remember the exact year of each bike. I've owned them around ten years and both were running when i bought them. XR is kickstart only, XL has an electric start. I looked over them briefly recently and both engines turn. As you can see, far from ideal "storage" conditions but a combination of factors meant i had no choice over the years. I have logbooks in my name for both. They are more or less complete but can't find the plastic XR tank at the moment. I would split depending on interest, but just to clear i would like £700 for the pair.* To keep thread clear could i ask anyone who is seriously interested to Direct/Private message me in the first instance. Bikes are in Surrey * EDIT - as of today, i need to add:- No Offers to the price please, or tell you what - shall i change it to £750 or near offer?
If anybody's out there then perhaps the simple way forward is to make one out of the two and sell the remaining parts as spares...........just a thought.
Bump - if anyone already has either of these, then you won't find a cheaper complete spare engine anywhere, I promise you. Breakers probably ask a similar amount just for the lovely pumper carburettors. and those of you that are aware of the folklore surrounding the "XR" version, these probably still command 5 to 6K in reasonable condition. It's a long time since I've looked. Again, no need to correct me on this thread, just send me a direct message if you are seriously interested.
If I had the room and it wasn't at the other end of the country I'd have them. Definitely fancy that XR The frame looks very clean. There's the makings of a fine project there. As it is my lock-up is rammed. I've got three bikes in there, only one is running and I'm contemplating buying a fourth. A basket case 1980's rebuild is exactly what I need... There's a cracking bike inside those two waiting to come out though. Hope they find a home soon and we can follow events on the builds and projects forum.
I am desperately resisting them, and Chris is only 1/2hr away. I just don't have the space, but if I did they'd have been with me by now.
