Yamaha XS description

Letting go of my 1981 Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer...

All black, runs great!! Engine and carbs professionally rebuilt by certified Yamaha service in Houston, TX less than a year ago, only ~150 miles ridden since!

-Stock tank
-Sportbike front end (rim/fork/triple tree/brakes from 2000 GSXR)
-BRAND NEW front tire (~50 miles on it), LIGHT USED rear tire (~150 miles)
-Custom seat pan and seat
-Clip-on handlebars
-All engine seals replaced about a year ago when engine was rebuilt

I'll throw in a free bike cover (2 months old)!

Ridden in the San Francisco Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and got ALOT of compliments! This bike definitely stands out as is, but is also a great opportunity to make it your own!

Sad to part with my super fun toy, and I hope it brings as a big a smile on your face as it does on mine!
