XBR500 seems a good buy

[Rozabikes Tim]

These are often mentioned on the forum. Seems a good start.

That description is a bit of a “stream of consciousness” isn’t it.

Is punctuation extra on eBay?

Oh, come on Steve - he has got a full stop at the end (albeit with a space)

Leave the lad alone....he stopped twice for directions, twice for coffee and cake, and once to go and pick his Kids up from school while he was scribbling his advert !

You need to go on some of the US Bike Forums if you like a really good laugh though.................

I like the colour scheme / fairing - description lacks details of the battle scars - he missed out viewing essential.

I'm thinking it might be nice to ride a single cylinder 500 - a stroke between lamp posts at 60 mph in top gear?

The fairing is horrible! It might look better with the wall-light in place of the headlight, but I doubt it.

That aside, I've always thought I would like to ride one and at this distance it looks pretty clean.

Ps - for a badly written advert read the rusty CB550 one in another current post....
'This is your classic barn find..' - no, it's yours.
'I've not tried to even turn it over..' - might be worth more if you did tip it ovet.
'Brought to do up...' What? Brought where...etc.

Punctuation is the least of their worries.

We may have small disagreements on here, but there’s a good reason I don’t allow politics or religious threads.

Plus they have guns.

Don't get me started on brought vs bought and don't you dare say 'going forward'. Where the hell did that start?

I think that, over all, the bike looks quite good and reasonably priced. I do like these little 500's
