Look left look right and up and down...This is the only vintage 500CC machine you will see. Only 45 years old. . She is no garage queen...(although garaged most of her life) but has all the mojo you can ask for, mostly original. Always gathers a lil' crowd. Just Ride away always a 1 or 2 kick start...or take it to your lab and restore her. Bike smokes when first started, and leaks a little oil. Runs pretty strong for a 500 .No turn signals...so re-learn your hand signals.has right foot shift....(4 speed)Horn/speedo does not work, (cable does.)Drag pipes. 2 to 1, (the ONLY old modification) They have some volume. and now. . .the good. Recent transmission rebuild not even 100m on it since.New valve guides and valves ground.New gaskets: head and base.New AMAL 626 Carb $$$, old one and rebuild kit included.Inline filters New Air Cleaner/assemblyNew PetcocksNewer Fork Boots/Gaitorsoriginal manual !has grab bar, and tail light extension, & chrome steering dampener....funky extras usually not found. Age appropriate bags for your crap.decent rubber...seat is very good, one little tear in the rear...thats' it. Be serious, there have been a fair share of tire kickers, and folks pointing out what I have described as the imperfections/needs. And of course my favorite "Son, I used to have one of those, bought it new for.....blah blah blah. These classic single carb twin 500's never come up for air. If you care for this bike and do a little here and there you will enjoy the future with it...and get back what you put into it....which is what I am doing. May deliver within 100 miles. You will have to arrange for shipping. or come and get it. reference NADA guide etc.
