Adding another Honda to my collection if all goes well. We shook hands in a "gentleman's agreement" today, pending payment, on a 1981 Honda XL500S.

This will be a true project as the motor is in pieces and the bike Is in bad shape. But I see a beauty in there waiting to come out.

Sweet. Looking forward to the restoration thread. Seen a few this year on CL fairly reasonable. I love the old Hondas. Gonna do some tinkering on a XL80s soon.
 
Nice, great bikes that never (for some reason) gained the cachet of the Yamaha XT series.
 
Update-I thought this was a "done deal" but it never really came together. The seller decided to keep it and I decided to go a different way.
 
I'm sorry; I haven't responded.

The seller was asking $400.00.

As I said, he decided to keep it.
