Hi Folks, I picked up an 81 XL500S for $800 Canadian (about $650 or so US dollars) recently. It is a heavy old dog but I´m a big enough fella to manage it. Using it on long steep trails, logging roads etc. in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and I´m generally liking it a lot. It has a very strong running engine, but the rest is pretty shabby. I hope sprockets will not be too hard to find.
