[Chevelle-list] Bike for sale

[John Nasta]

Yes, and maybe to somebody who wants that specific bike, it's worth  
it. All I'm saying is that you can buy a lot of very nice newer,  
running bikes for that kind of money.

Here is the Yamaha XS650 that I bought for $700 last summer, exactly  
the way it looked after I drove it home:

It runs great and I'm having fun with it. I have had to do a few  
repairs but not much. I personally can't imagine spending $3300 on a  
non-running bike. Heck, last year I bought a non-running 1970 Chevelle  
for less than half that.
