Check out this Honda SL125

[DonDavis]

I saw this the other day and it's for sale. The guy buys and sells old motorcycles and wants $1200. It's a 1973 Honda SL125 with about 980 original miles. It runs great, has a new carb ( old one comes with ) and new tires. It looks like it's been inside it's whole life. The right patina, no leaks. I think I'll call him tomorrow and talk turkey. This is the only pic I took as I didn't want to seem too hooked.

I dig it.

Thoughts?

Very cool.
I'd grab if you didn't.

Wish I had it.

I'll give you $1650 for it, if you ride it over here.

[vash]

That's an XL (four stroke) not an SL.
I've got a 1973 XL 250 i bought new. Still ride it. Great bike.

Don, if you don't buy it I know SOME-JUAN who probably would.

[Rot 911]

Yep its an XL and if it is in decent running condition worth every bit of $1200.

Stunning bike - about as cool as it gets.
Good luck with the purchase.

[scottmandue]

That was my first motorcycle (not that one... but you know what I mean)

Fun bike... however... pretty much gutless... if you are a large person don't expect to be going up any steep hills with it.

And despite the knobbies the off road ability is pretty much non existent (suspension travel is a few inches).

On the positive side if you are just looking for something to putt around town or campsite it will do the job well, very cool!

[Seahawk]

I had that exact bike.

Rode that thing through Mullholland, Decker, Topanga, etc. in High School.

[nota]

where did all the cheap little bikes go

I have been looking for a 100-250 on/off bike
tons only race only dirt bikes but few legal bikes
and most of those china junk

[LakeCleElum]

Two brothers I knew when I was a kid had matching SL70's (head and tail lights) and I had an XR75 (no lights). There was a time when the smaller ones were indeed SL's instead of XL's.

[DonDavis]

Thanks Tim, it's an SL.



It's a fun MC but I think I'll pass. I have till Saturday to decide.




Damn, it has a great look.

[Embraer]

i rode my 74 XL250 hundreds of miles all over the desert here. so much fun. when i wanted to sell, i could barely give it away. ( i ended up selling it to a vintage race guy for $500)

[Bill Douglas]

This is my 1974 honda, back in 1974 when I was 15. Nice bike. I was torn between the four stroke (SL125, XL125?) and this Elsinore. I'd like the stomach muscles back please.

[DonDavis]

One more thing, I had the price wrong. He won't budge from $1400.

That's what stinks! I was too slow on yours.
