This looks like a lovely bike. I could be persuaded to have a look at it if someone who is not nearby was interested in buying it.

Could be just a battery...or it could be something much worse!!  As always..."CAVEAT EMPTOR!" :laugh: :grin: :wink:

Looks like a nice unmolested one. They are *hard* to find.. trust me. I looked for years..
Probably the worst thing that could be wrong with it is a dropped valve. I'd take a battery and crank it over..

Agreed...they are hard to find "stock" and unmolested...Cool little bike...probably just a battery...

For comparison, a couple more 500's on "fleaBay" right now...

 I`ve known the owner a long time.  He parked all his bikes about 10 years ago after almost being hit by a left turning car. It was a good runner until he parked it.

That would be a hoot in the SoCal mountains.. they are more than the sum of their parts.
