MEMORIES... I had that bike when it was brand new, I was 16 years old My buddy bought it, and I loved it He loved my 73 Grand Prix SJ (455) I wanted him to throw in the helmet He wanted $100 bucks on top. He folded before I did, because that car was beating most everyone in town But I was in love with that bike.
I get it! At several points there have been offers. Glad I held fast and kept it. This is my "sensible" bike when I'm rusty and want to ride more. (The XR650R is a thrill but also a handful if you're not at the top of your game.) The XR350R always feels "just right"...I have a third cycle, a 1984 XR500R, that is a back burner restoration project. I'll share that work when time permits...You can tell I'm partial to the Honda XRs! The XR650R is in a league of its own.
