This is my 1980 Honda XL500s. Fully rebuilt from the frame up, in collector status with collector plates. This is a short video of riding around the block with this old thumper. Hope you enjoy.

I have had the same XL500S more than 40 years ago here in Germany, most of my buddies owned such bikes back in the days. We did almost every weird things when riding off and on road, I do not want to miss this time. greetings from Germany.....

This brings me back, in 1980 my Uncle came to live with us while he went to college. He brought this bike to commute with. As a 10 Year Old back then, it was cool to watch him ride extremely long wheelies until he ran out of road!

I bought my XL new in ‘80, wanted off-road capability back after piloting a stellar GS750 for 3 years… what a go-anywhere bike. Low maintenance, wheelie happy.. Had an ‘82 Ascot FT later, same great engine w/push button start. Honda, ya hit a home run with that engine!!!
