Yamaha xs650 description

I have this beautiful 1973 Yamaha TX650 up for sale. This has to be one of the nicest original ones that I've owned yet. It runs excellent, and probably has some break in left to do because of its low miles.The only issues that I can speak of is that the speedometer needs a bulb, and the kick starter needs a spring. The kick starter works fine, but doesn't return. This bike has brand new Dunlop Roadmaster tires on it, and has a fresh battery. I have a clean Iowa title for this bike. Its becoming difficult to find early bikes in good condition or ones that have not been chopped up. Make this one yours! 

Thanks,

Nick

Argentina was actually supposed to join the MotoGP tour this season, but the round was scrapped because of a dispute between the country and Spain after the Argentine government seized control of a Repsol subsidiary. Repsol is, of course, a prominent sponsor of several teams including Honda‘s factory team.
