XS650 Addict
Howdy! I'm new to XS motorcycles, and new to forums, to please bear with me...
I've been a motorcycle enthusiast for more than half my life, and somehow until two weeks ago the awesome yamaha XS 650 has escape my notice. I've been looking to get back on 2 wheels for a while, and this seems like a (relatively) inexpensive way to have an awesome chopped scoot.
I'm looking for a titled running (or possibly close to running) XS, don't really care about the year (unless I should??) or the mileage. I'd preferably like to keep the cost $1,000 or less depending on condition. The plan is to ride it while collecting parts for a chopper/bobber build.
My question for the rest of you Texans (or anybody from another state in close proximity) is how often something like this comes up for sale in our area? There's nothing really out there right now that I've been able to find. There's a sweet one I'm eyeballing in Michigan right now, but I'd ideally like to find something more local.
