1981 Yamaha XS650 Special

10,000 miles only. Might go up a bit.....

Excellent condition, any test ride welcome (with cash) Comes with the factory King & Queen seat, as well as the flat one I had custom made. Unfortunately I don't have the original buckhorn handlebars.

Paintwork & chrome is excellent.

Engine is perfect & unmolested, starts at the first kick or button push. Alternator rotor was rewound last September.
Also includes luggage rack.

The bike has been incredibly well looked after & maintained its entire life. Always stored undercover & babied!

Clean TN title

$3200

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Wow, that is in great condition - great bike to own. !!

Man, those are wonderful bikes.  What fun it would be to have one again....

I'm only selling this to fund a new chopper build. 

I didn't realize just how much I'd missed working on bikes the last 15 years, until I started fooling with them again. Now I've got a basket case 1990 Sportster that's screaming to go into a little rigid frame!

Way back in the day I had an XS400 and it was a fun little bike.

Very nice bike, rare to find this close to original. I had an XS400 and an XS750. superb bikes in their classes. Rob is a good one to deal with too.

'preciate it, thanks! 

I actually just sold her this last Sunday to a lovely old gent who drove up from Muscle Shoals for it. Rode it all the way home with no reported hiccups!

I've come pretty close a time or 3 to doing a Fly-N-Ride to buy a motorcycle. I've lucked out and found something local every time. Still wouldn't hesitate to do it. Glad your sale worked out.
