 This comes with lots of receipts and history (see photo) full engine rebuild with New Wisco 12. 5 piston. cam chain and full overhaul with bills.

 

Runs very well (you do need to have a strong right leg to start. plenty of compression so be warned)

 

I bought the bike 12 months ago. having worked on them for many years (Honda mechanic since 1978) I took the engine out and inspected the top end. replaced the cam chain and wanted to be sure of camshaft. followers etc (excellent condition).

 

The original condition with plenty of scrapes. scratches and wear greatly enhances this bike. chain and sprockets new in the past few years. I fitted new handlebars. grips and levers?ˆ¦. been through from top to bottom and have a new battery etc.

 

This bike was brought from Italy a few years ago (2001). and the only thing that could be better is a headlamp cowl?ˆ¦. but I?ˆ™m very fussy.

 

If you?ˆ™re looking for a ?ˆ?New second hand motorcycle?ˆ? please do not call or bid. This is an original 32 year old Honda XL500R

 

I would be interested in a Part-Ex anything interesting considered
