Own a piece of history with this XS750 SPECIAL! I purchased it from the original owner. Has period correct bat wing fairing. No leaks. It does have a nickel sized hole in the left muffler from the center stand hitting it. Tires are good with excellent tread and no dry rot. I spent a lot of time sorting out the issues with the bike and sidecar. It's set up for a 240 pound rider and 135 pound passenger. The alignment is perfect! Everything on the bike and sidecar works as it should. It gets lots of attention wherever I take it. Paint isn't perfect but it shines up nice. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I'll be happy to text or email you more pictures. Having an issue loading pics. 

Bike is also for sale locally, auction may end early. 
Also included is a convertible top for the sidecar.

The Frenchman crashed during qualifying after hitting oil and water spilled on track by Jorge Lorenzo's Fiat Yamaha, after it spewed its guts along almost the entire length of the start finished straight. Following the crash De Puniet was whisked away on a stretcher with a suspected broken foot.
