1978 Yamaha XS750 Special motorcycle, in a triple configuration, with a shaft drive, and a first for that year, electronic ignition. This is as fine of an example of this bike as you will see anywhere, outside of a museum. This is not a barn find; I got the bike from a retired motorcycle mechanic who had several bikes, but this one was his 'baby', and it shows. Always kept inside and lovingly maintained. I have gone through this bike and it needs nothing, except a new rider. It has had: --New tires, zero miles on them --New tank and side cover badges --New black lacquer paint, correct for the period --New grips and controls --Valves adjusted --Carburetors cleaned and rebuilt with new diaphragms on the slides --New spark plugs --New NGK plug caps and correct 7mm solid core spark plug wires --New clutch cable --All bearings good, brakes good and battery good --Both fuel petcocks rebuilt --New OEM carburetor boots --Gas cap rebuilt --Gas tank lined --Oil and filter changed, air filter serviced All electronics work, bike starts right up and runs awesome. Bike is 100% original and complete, even down to the tool pouch under the seat. If you live in the Tucson area, I would make myself available for inspection, and a test ride, provided you have a license with a valid motorcycle endorsement. I will not ship the motorcycle, however if you desire to have it shipped, you will need to make all of the arrangements, payment, etc. In this case I will do what I can to facilitate the shipping, meet the people who pick it up, etc. I am also including Japan as a country I will sell to. I do not normally do this, but it would be kind of neat to 'expatriate' the bike back to where it was born.
