1977 YAMAHA XS 650D

1977 Yamaha XS650D You maynot believe this about this bike but here it is. What I have here is a 1977 Yamaha XS650D with 3146 original miles. The history of the bike goes something like this. The bike comes from Indiana. The original owner had the bike and never rode it much. He was afraid of motorcycles. The bike just sat in his garage. A friend of his bought it from him and it sat in his garage. Then comes the guy that I bought the bike from. In 2010 He was on his way from his home in Canada to his home In Florida making a stop in Indiana where he was buying some Honda 160’s that the guy had. He saw something covered with a tarp in the garage and asked to see it and this is what was under it. Needless to say he bought this and the Honda’s and took them all to Florida. Then in 2013 when the bike had 2599 miles on it and I was lucky enough to have this bike cross my path. I knew I had to have it. So I’m the 4th owner of this bike. Now the bike. The paint and chrome are original and in outstanding condition. When I got the bike it needed some special attention. Here is what I did. The wheels were removed and broken down. Hubs were polished. Rims were polished. Reassembled with stainless steel spokes and then I installed new Dunlop K70 tires with new tubes and rim strips. Then I started on the striping and polishing of the engine cases. fork legs. and exhaust. The engine was serviced with new oil filters. clutch plates. thrust washer. spark plugs. gaskets and seals. Valves and cam chain were adjusted. New handle bars and grips were installed. Front master cylinder and caliper were rebuilt. Caliper piston was replaced. The rotor was resurfaced. New front brake pads. Carbs were cleaned and synced. The seat was recovered with a great looking reproduction cover made in the United Kingdom . The foam and seat pan are in great shape. Maintence free battery installed and charging system checked. If you are lucky enough to find one of these bikes that hasn’t been altered is one thing but to find one in original condition like this is unbelievable. You are problly asking yourself if these are truly hard to come across in this condition then why is he selling it. Well I’m putting it up for sale just to see it there is any interest in the bike. If no one steps up to the price I will continue to enjoy and ride the bike myself until the right buyer comes along. It’s that great a bike. I love riding it. And the attention that it gets is unbelievable. but it deserves it. If you want and maybe need to own a bike like this call me at 239-596-3695 and ask for Randy. I can answer any of your question and arrange a showing for you. Thanks for looking.
