1980 SG in Texas (Ebay)

[Prisoner6]

Have a look at this one ...

Has '79 speedo, owner claims he matched the mileage (18,600) to the original (making it accurate).

He admits it has been wrecked (in 1989 -no details), but says Yamaha did all the repairs (and that he has receipts to prove it) ...

What say you?

Looks pretty good Marco...

It sure looks nice. The foot rest bracket on the right side is from an '81 model. Too bad they didn't replace the cylinder head back in '89. Otherwise, it could go in a museum.

Good eye, Marty ... I missed that grooved pattern detail on the bracket when I first looked at the photos.

I was looking at this bike on Ebay the other day. I am curious about what the reserve is on it. Looks like a solid bike. If I didn't already have my MNS I might try to get this one. Marco .... are you in the market on this one?

Hi, Jim -

Yeah, I'm curious myself about the reserve; but to answer your question ...

No, I won't be bidding on this one.

If you can work it out, it would be great to see this Special go to the home of a fellow XSive ... someone who will take great care of it!

Bid went to 2225 and the reserve was not met.
