[QUOTE="YZ__rider, post: 1393960, member: 118935"] Whether it is a "good bike" depends on the repairs required. If it was free and needs minimal repair, I say ride it until you get bored with it or something breaks. If you are going to sink some money into the bike getting in operating condition, I would not bother. Those bikes arent worth much when they are running flawlessly. They (the 80s XR, XL series) were very heavy and the suspension is not even comparable to modern day suspension. They also had a goofy 2 carburetor setup that is hell to tune properly. We owned an '84 XR500 for many years. I thought it was great back then, but by todays standards it was a pig. [/QUOTE]
