This is a 72 Harley Davidson M65 Leggero. They're cool little smokers (I'm working on a 68 ML125 Rapido right now), but probably not worth the $800 IMO. Small CC captive-import motorcycles from Italy (Aermacchi/HD, Bennelli/Wards, Gilera/Sears) got no love here in the US like the small Ducatis so they're all over the place and usually cheap if you keep your eyes peeled.

NT650 had a SSSA, but that is a VFR wheel on it. The stock wheel matches the front. Good friend of mine just picked up an 88 model. Fun bikes. That was the first bike Honda came out with, with a single side swinger.

This is the 88 my boy just picked up.

Between the V twin and the swinger I kind of dig it...gonna have to keep an eye out for a cheap one.
They have a large following with the track day guys. Fun bikes.

A couple of old guys I used to ride with had way over 100k on them. According to the guys who ride them, they are indestructible. They hold their value fairly well with nice ones running well over $3k. I've owned dozens and dozens of bikes over the years and every time I find a really nice one, it's gone before I get there. There are many fans of these bikes and there is a large support group.
