This is a 1979 Yamaha xs 650 Special with plans of building a Chopper or Cafe Racer out of it, but I realized I just got too many irons in the fire already. I bought it off of a guy I have purchoused several bikes from in the past, he purchoused it out of an estate. The bike is pretty complete except for missing throttle cables, and plastic tube grip slips on which you can see in pics. He had it running in the spring , but needs a battery now motor kicks over with good compressionno signs of ever being laid down or in an accident, one dent in top of tank looks like something fell on it, a small one on side, seat has been taped and a one side cover missing badge, In the 70s Yamaha designed this motor compete with british bikes like Triumph and BSA with style size and apperience making it a 650 twin with and exhaust angled outward but with the dependability of a Yamaha. This bike left as it would make a great rider, 60s 70s style chopper Bobber, or Cafe Racer. As I said bike came out of an estate so there is no title the bike is sold with notorized bill of sale wich is all needed in many states for a bike of this age, or can be used to obtain a title. $550 or reasonable offer open to trades for other bikes firearms etc..Thank YouTom Weatherby330-553-1946
I have a 1980 Yamaha XS650 cafe racer in perfect condition. Heavily modified into a cafe racer with absolutely no corners cut. Has been well taken care of since it left the factory. Perfect for cruising around Ohio back roads. Includes - - New cafe racer tank and rear end, painted deep metallic red - Electronic Ignition - Cafe racer handlebars - New rear suspension - Brand new spark plugs / wires - Brand new tires - Aftermarket exhaust (aggressive, but not too loud) - Aftermarket turn signals Chain recently tightened and lubed. Everything works as it should on this bike. Photos are real - taken by me only a few weeks ago. Cash in hand for test rides. Only selling to get money for a car.
