Like that clutch cable routing!  :thumb:

Wonder how long it's been sitting - 7K in 33 years? I kind of has the look and feel of being idle a long time.

Looks like it still sports the 16" front wheel.

It is low miles, but I'm thinking $4-5K is probably tops. Not that I'm any expert...

Ooh, white. One reason for the low miles is the speedo drive is laying on the solenoid cover, and has been for some time. (?) Pretty thing, though.. I love the dated classic lines of the 80s Italian sport bike..  :thumb: I'd give 3K for it if I wanted a project.

Ha, thanks! I do like the original white with the red and blue accents, but priced way too high for its conditions I think.

That's what the local harley dealer gave the owner for it on trade, they called me and asked if i wanted this thing.  Didn't have to ask me twice

And here I thought I'd gotten a screaming deal on my 87 LM for 2K.

Looks low miles too! Is it an 85? Mine didn't have the orange accents.

What a deal!

Does it have the first series triple trees? They had more offset than the newer ones designed to give more trail.

I found the 80 series tires on the front made for heavy steering. It's much better going with a 110x90. I've run both the 130x80 and 120x90 rear and it feels pretty much the same with either.
