1977 Yamaha XS650D With some reluctance I am putting This bike up for sale as it turned out very nice. This is a bike in “survivor” condition, meaning in original paint (unrestored) with blemishes included as the bike has “earned” them. Todays rule of thumb is if it has 35% of the original finish do not restore. This one has 90%? Or so. At the Vintage Rally at the National Motorcycle Museum it was awarded the Best Preserved Japanese Bike at the 2015 show and it was not totally finished. It has taken me a couple of years to get to this condition. Back in the day the owner watched too many Along Came Bronson TV episodes! It had 6” over forktubes, a king queen seat with sissybar, 6 bend apes, an extended sidestand. The odemeter read under 5K miles which I attribute to how poorly the bike handeled. All of that had to be changed out! Condition: It is a good running bike, and I have put around 200 road miles on it since I got it on the road. Miles: I bought the bike with unknown miles, however it showed under 5K you be the judge, as it wasn’t an issue to me. Replacement speedo has 18K showing Seat original cover and base not a recover! Tank: one small faint crease dent (paint less dent removal a repair option ?) otherwise a very nice tank Side covers: Right: matches condition of tank Left has some chips, but niceNew: Tires (period correct Dunlop K70 Goldseals front and back), tubes, rim strips, battery, front brake pads and brake hose, fork seals rider pegs, shift rubber, kick start rubber (these are ok parts for preservation class) Parts replaced with good used items: Fork tubes and sliders side stand tach and speedometer as originals moved very slow…yours if you wish them. Handle bar electrical controls, seat, handlebars, turn signal parts, mufflers. Non stock components: mirrors (although said to be period correct) mufflers which are old replacements (I have rusted originals if you wish) Must purchase in person as shipping is not an option. cash prefered.
