But if you're gonna go radiador, I think they did a decent job by designing tall, thin and narrow as opposed to square and thick as you see on some new bikes like the the Yamaha xsr900 for example.

14.5. $ 14,500. Missed a decimal point or a zero lol

Lol You could probably buy one for $1450 in 1975

I thought that might be it $1450 was close to what my XS650 cost in 1975. I THINK the Triumps were around $1800-2100?

just saw a black and gold 75 TX650 the other day at the shop. THey still look great. I had a 73 (and a 79 and an 81). My brother had a 75.

would buying a 2nd hand jap cruiser and building it with a kit be cheaper?
