Soooooo

I took a 1980 (3 years older than I am :laughing4:) xt500 for a spin today while the owner rode my drz motard (I struggled to get it back from him  :ricky:  :mwink:)

that Xt feels amazing, I think I have found my new bike  :deal:

any reason not to buy this bike for 10k?

The key doesn't work, ignition does work & the bike has a minor hesitation which to me feels very similar to when I got water and dirt into my 990 fuel tanks. probably just needs a clean I guess.

so talk me outa it  :peepwall:

or should I hold out to try find a Xt550 which has 12v electrics apposed to the xt500 which is v6
