Yamaha XS description

  • 1981 Yamaha XS 650 bobber/chopper.
  • This bike was built by Slacker Garage Shop (SgS) in Michigan. 
  • No expense was spared with over $7K grand invested.
  • The bike only has less than 1500 miles on it since finish date and runs fantastic. 
  • Never wrecked; never down; clean title.
  • SgS started with a stock 1981 XS 650, hardtailed it and did a 35 degree rake with a DNA Springer.
  • It has electric and kick start.
  • The paint is flawless; color is a heavy metal flake green with pearl white and red pinstriping; coming in at $1700.00 this was no cheap paint job. The paint work was done by Heavy Metal Customs; they are one of the top painters in Michigan and it shows in the detail. The pinstripes even continue under the tank and fender which you can't even really see but they hold nothing back on there work.
  • The bike also has a ceramic coated 2-int-1 intake with a new 36mm mikuni Carb, not a huge increase in performance but looks kick ass on it.
  • This is a light weight,very fast and very loud bike that has won many shows including editors choice from street chopper magazine at Muskegon bike time 2012.
  • Search slacker garage shop on YouTube for a video of the bike (with different bars--the pictures you see here are the bars on it).
  • Here is a list on some of the smaller items on the bike:  TcBros forward controls with SgS pegs; SgS pipes with stainless turnouts; Chrome spike bolt kit; SgS bear trap kicker; SgS bars; White leather solo seat Polished engine case; Biltwell whisky throttle Drilled mag wheels; powder coated and polished!

I'm selling because I no longer have a desire to attract crowds, attention, and answer questions wherever I take the bike (...yeah, I'm getting old and tired!).

No joy rides!  You want to test ride it? Better have cash in hand Cash only. 

Buyer is responsible for paying for and making all shipping arrangements.  I can help deliver anywhere in Texas or Oklahoma (500 mile radius) for costs of gas there and back.  Otherwise I have a Michigan based transport service I use; they are reasonable (about $500.00-$600.00 anywhere in country with an enclosed trailer).

I'm easy to work with.  I guarantee you will love this bike--EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN MACHINE.

The short but sweet life of the Yamaha R7

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

I was reunited with an old friend recently, my 1999 Virgin Yamaha R7 Superbike. By the end of 1998 I had won three straight BSB titles with the Yamaha YZF750, when main sponsor Cadbury’s pulled out leaving zero funds for a title defence. Wanting desperately to ride the new R7 and thinking a replacement backer would instantly get on board I turned down quite a few offers including a juicy contract from Crescent Suzuki (Paul Denning always enjoys reminding me).

2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP Review – First Ride

Wed, 28 Aug 2024

Better suspension and Track mode brings us so close to an R9 Photos by Dave Schelske As the tail rider in a train of approximately seven identical Yamahas, I couldn’t help but watch in awe as each of us weaved our way through the notorious Tail of the Dragon, bending the bike underneath us to our will through the 120-something corners, the unison of the dance mesmerizing as each of us took our turn, one by one, around each apex, at irresponsible speeds, front wheels inches away from the person in front of us. This is the kind of trust you build up after you’ve ridden with the same group of people for years on end. We all know that riding with your friends is fun.
