I've got one that I bought brand new...paid $1995 for it. It's a beast but I love riding it although I can't ride it anywhere near to it's potential.

I have a 76 GS 400 with the trials ignition and it is amazing.  Pulls like a tractor, tons of power and no hit!:D

hi kip. i would love to discuss that set-up with you. are you refering to the heavy flywheel that came on some 400's? or maybe you have a trials ignition that i'm not familiar with. when you get a moment, drop me a line at [email protected]   or my cell is 440 213 5146    thanks chi jer

That's a heck of a bike for $600, the carb and sneakers are worth it.
