1972 Yamaha XS650 (XS2)
Second year of this classic British Twin designed bike with reliable Japanese underpinnings
Tasteful Cafe Bars & Seat, all else is Stock and intact
2 years and less than 1000 miles on High Compression Rebuilt Engine
160 PSI in both cylinders
Custom Exhaust is Loud and Sounds Awesome (think Harley)
Carbs cleaned, Oil Changed and Tune Up performed Spring 2016
Starts First Kick even after sitting for over a week
New Parts include Starter Relay, Gas Cap, Tank Badges, Grips, Bar Ends, Battery Tender Pigtail
Ride the bike around the city and on 2 hr. round trips to work pretty regularly. Don't get to ride as much as I used to though and I've got two bikes so can't give them both the justice they deserve so sadly I'm letting go of this bad boy.
Clean PA Title in Hand

Bike doesn't really need anything but if you want to nit pick here are 3 things that could be improved:
-Tail, Brake & Head Lights high & low all work but blinkers do not. Needs a new flasher I think. I just use hand signals when in busy traffic.
-Battery is dead. If you want to use the electric starter then you'll have to replace the battery. Kicking it is cooler anyway so I've been riding it w/ this dead battery for over a year now.
-Small cosmetic flaws here and there as to be expected on a 44 yr. bike. Let's call it Patina.

Bike is available for local pick up.  Shipping can be arranged at buyers expense.  I've successfully used Uship for jobs like this in the past.  

Call or message me with any questions you have.

BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates

Tue, 03 Jan 2012

In my opinion, the smartest move in the BSB off season has to be Michael Laverty moving from Swan Yamaha to HM Plant Honda. With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April. Unlike BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha, Honda have deliberately developed their road-going Superbike without electronics to give a user friendly feel with good mechanical traction, so it’ll be interesting to see how the opposition copes with their high-tech trickery stripped off.
