XS650G or Special II. It looks like it might go big.

[MPittma100]

Yes, BIG

XS650G or Special II. It looks like it might go big.

I agree. Will likely bring a big number. Collectors only on this one. Museum piece for sure.

Wow...thats a purdy one...

[vedgar]

museum only ?

Put some new tires on it and ride for that price. Cheaper than a new comparable bike.

XS650 8 Miles

You were right Marty. Selling price was $6,695.00!

[jetmechmarty]

They keep climbing! That's the first time I've seen a Special go that high. Back in the day, the Special II was the less popular plain Jane version. It seems to be the more desirable one now.

[Briggs&Stratton]

Wow. This was exciting to follow. I would have guessed right around half that price.

Just curious, what would this bike have sold for brand new off the show room?

not sure but nowhere near what it just sold for...

Here's Another 650

This other one ends in a few hours on eBay. It is not on quite the same level, but appears to be a good survivor that can be revived with a little effort.

I bought my brand new XS650SK in 1983 for $1795.00.

Marty,
If I remember right when your SJ/SK Heritage Special first came out they had a MSRP of over $3000 I had my SF11 and paid $3399 for it, could not believe the tag on the Heritage 650.

Paid $1269 for a brand new 77 650 D, end of 77.

[madmax-im]

Memory is fading and I lost the original paoerwork...but somewhere around $3600 is what I paid for my brand new '82 XJ1100 Maxim...back in early '83

[MPittma100]

Sold for just under $2K

This bike had a reserve of less than $800. I am sure the seller is surprised and happy. Good for him.
