So here’s my story. I ride a chopper and have done so all my life. I have only ridden American motorcycles. With that said I’ve always wanted something built the day I was born. Strange but true. I came across this 73 xs650 and had to have it. I brought it home and tore it down to freshen up. I’m having the time of my life with this Yamaha. I am also finding out I’m retarded. I did get a manual and it sucks! But will make it happen.
