Yamaha XS description

 1981 YAMAHA XS850 SPECIAL


This 1981 Yamaha XS850 Special starts right up and runs good. It shifts through all the gears smoothly and everything works as it should. Overall the bike is in good condition, but not perfect. There is some rust, scratches, and typical wear. The bike was repainted at some point in the past and looks decent but certainly not factory quality. Some of the paint is faded and dull (see photos). The tires are newer and in great condition with about 75% of tread left. The bike has a king & queen seat with backrest and crash bar with highway pegs. By no means is this a perfect motorcycle, but it is a solid bike that runs good and looks decent.

  • Runs good, shifts through all gears smoothly
  • All lights, horn, and controls work as they should
  • Newer tires in great condition, about 75% of tread left
