500 Paris-Dakar 1980

[Kjell Lindberg]

For 300£ I can buy this:



And invest some elbow grease,,, It would look really nice in top trim.

It doesn't look quite right somehow with that sidepanel but it should make a good runabout. My brother in law has one, doesn't use it yet won't sell it to me either.

Surely you can't go wrong for that price?

[Kjell Lindberg]

Sidepanel is just as Soichiro-San intended, minus decals.

That looks just like a xl500s with a large tank and different seat?

Spot on!

Mainly for the French market.

If the camshaft hasn't worn it's way out of the head yet I'd say get your arse over there and buy it.

Well there is also this one 4-sale, at a resonable price

Although, I really would like to afford this one:
