The XS650 board might be better suited to answer but I'm not yet a member there.
There's a 1973 TX500 for sale near me. I know they are notorious for engine problems but at only 11k on the odometer and apparently running pretty well, I might get plenty of miles out of it.
The problems are fairly well documented and steps might be possible to mitigate them.
This is the listing: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1973-Yamaha-500_23131498
At $1200 it's not the cheapest but for a running bike with original parts I don't think it's too bad of a deal.
I've already arranged to look at it tomorrow.
Just wondering if anyone has some thoughts?
