1979 Yamaha XS (1979)
Up for sale is a barn find 1979 Yamaha XS Eleven with a complete Vetter Windjammer Kit. Motorcycle was purchased new by the last owner in 1979 and was driven on the road until around 1989, then it went into storage. I haven't tried to hook up a battery and to start it, it sat for such an long time and that's something for the new owner to go thru all parts. Engine turns free, tires holding air and there's a dent in the tank.2024-06-22 09:52:18Howell, Michigan, United States6,812849.00 -
