83 XR500.

Not mine, I know nothing about it beyond what's in the ad. A mate saw it on his work notice board and thought I might be interested (I'm not). In Canberra area (whatever that means).

I have a dead 1983 XR350R that I want to get rid of.

It had the head replaced ~500km ago (cost in excess of $700.00) and on a recent ride around the paddock (I don't hoon around as I am a novice rider!), something went bang in the engine (no compression, spins over REAL easy on the kick-start - rod???). 

When it was running, it ran very well.  Cant give you speedo reading as it doesn't have a odometer, just a tripmeter.

Anyway, some other features are:
Hi output alternator/generator (what ever you call them on bikes)
Overhauled front forks
Good knobbies front / rear
A spare (new) rear mono spring
Bark busters
Upgraded headlight
Drum brakes front and rear
It was registered up until it went bang.

$500.00
Pick up only


If anyone gives a shit, I'll dig up an email address.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
