Not all had the lighter comstars. I'm lucky, I got both.

It has to be admitted that the XBR, particularly with the "designer" Comstar wheels, is less aesthetically pleasing than the later GB500, but it is an excellent model with superb handling and a degree of performance greater than the GB500 due to its additional four horsepower. I've owned many machines over 60 years, but none has provided more satisfying fun than my SJ variant of the XBR500. Good examples are still affordable - just.
