They are worth big bucks now.
I have to say the one I wish I still had was a 1970 650 Yamaha that I loved blowing away
all my friend with their Britsh bikes. TH

Yep--- 2 cylinder 650 with kick start--and electric if I remember correctly. It was 1980 something. I came within a hair of buying one---I remember it was a gold color. The price tag at an independant dealer was within $200 of having the engine of my 250 Yamaha rebuilt. The wife made me rebuild the engine. (then I sold the bike for less than it cost to rebuild the engine--a short version of the story of my motorcycle life)
