Thats good to know, ill be very thorough looking at it. Im really not expecting much. But who knows.

Yeah I asked him, "Yamaha twin...what twin?" He said xs650. We shall see. I appreciate all the responses.

Well I talked to the guy on the phone, he said "yeah, its an xs650 stuffed in a 400 frame". Im gonna go look at it Saturday, just because its so close. I know the place, he has TONS of old jap bikes, dirtbikes and mopeds in various states of disrepair. This is the ad, lol

I think that'd I'll do, go look, take some pics, and more than likely we will talk about all the reasons NOT to buy it. I got a little excited because its so close, I've had a hard time finding one that isn't half way across the country and that is worth buying or not overpriced. When I do find...

Ideally...I would by an original, running, ride-able bike. The thing is anything I do has to be uber budget. Come tax time I'll have a grand, MAYBE 1200, to spend. At the moment I can swing the $250 he wants, or less if I talk him down... if the motor isnt locked down...I guess what has me...

Ok, im looking for my first xs650. There is a local guy that has a massive amount of jap bikes and mopeds in various states of disrepair. He has what he called a "1982?" Xs650 in an xs400 frame. The post says none of the bikes run. I have no idea yet how complete, or not the bike is. I hope to...

Thank you. Come tax time i would already be on the road, or if you were closer You are over 7 hours away , and since it wouldn't fit in my wife's car I would have to drive my 9,000# dually, adding significant. cost . Thank you though.

Thank You for your response, if it wasnt hardtailed id make an offer, im wanting a daily rider and have a bad back, hard tail wont do it for me. Good luck selling it though!

I am looking for my first bike/project bike. The plan is a bobber, not hard tailed, thinking along the lines of brat style...to ride daily. Im really striking out finding anything within 6 hours or so from me. A complete running bike would be ideal, but im willing to start with an engine or...

I had sent him a PM, but Google confirmed that Elizabeth City is not where I thought it was. Im still interested but it's really too far at the moment.

Pm sent!!

Thanks y'all, it was crazy to find that picture, I was just starting to get interested in the xs650's, id seen some real nice ones in The Horse Backstreet Choppers and online. Then I was going through some of my Dad's stuff I had in storage and found a bunch of pictures, that one was on top. It...

I found this picture of my Dad, circa 1980-1983. I've been looking for my first xs650 for a while now and just stumbled across this picture. I knew he rode but I never knew what. Its also the only picture I have of him grown where he isn't bearded , I had to look twice, lol.Im not sure the year...

Hey yall, my name is John, im 26 and originally from GA outside of Athens but i live in SC in the very NW corner only a few minutes from GA and NC. I grew up on 2 stroke 125cc dirtbikes, i love anything with an engine and wheels but especially 2 wheels. I don't currently have a bike, im trying...
