:wtf: I've been in love with the MT-01 ever since first seeing the prototype that was on display at the 1999 Tokyo motor show. It's been in production for five years and is available in Japan, Europe, Canada, Australia, even India, for pete's sake! But not the US. Why is this, I ask? Does...

I own a Canon Digital Single Lens Reflex camera (DSLR), and I love it. Why? Because not only does it take great pics, but because it is a Canon Digital Rebel XS. 'Nuff said. :D:thumbsup:

XSives, I know that road racers will do anything they can, within rules limitations of course, to get more fractional horsepower out of their machines, but this same need generally doesn't apply to those of us who use our bikes on the streets. And I know that wrapping headers is one way of...

Spotted this nice looking XS Cafe over at smugmug: Can anybody identify that tank? I've seen some Suzuki tanks that look similar to that one. Here's the link where it came from -- lots of other very cool looking bikes there too...

Well it's pretty clear to me that we all are saddened by John's passing, and there is virtually a universal feeling, it seems, that his loss is also a great loss to the XS650 community. I can think of no better way to honor John's legacy than by insuring that his wisdom is preserved. But it's...

Not my cuppa, but thought I'd pass it along. Has a burnt valve, so maybe it can be had for less. http://houston.craigslist.org/mcy/1834129990.html Also found a guy selling some XS parts: http://houston.craigslist.org/mcy/1827658524.html

Just saw this posted on the Yam650 list: http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/mcy/1829951357.html The '81 SH has cast wheels with the rear drum, which I know a lot of bobber/chopper guys prefer.

I've had a soft spot for cafe bikes ever since I saw my first one in a bike mag more years ago than I care to say. Never owned one, though, but since the XS650 is a machine with almost chameleon-like flexibility, it just seemed to me to be a natural bike for this project, especially since I...

A while back I bought a cafe seat from an ebay seller for my XS650 cafe project. Well made, came with a big piece of durable vinyl and chrome snaps to secure it to the seat. Problem is, I've never upholstered a seat before. I've located a source for the foam pad(s) and I know how to trim the...

A while back, I bought a set of Mac 2-into-2 exhaust headers for my '78 cafe project, but then I was visiting MikesXS's site a couple days ago, and saw that he has a new 2-1 set that he claims provides more power than any other set he sells or has researched. So . . . now I'm rethinking things...

Hey folks, Welp, I've been away from the online XS650 community for a while -- geez, over a year, I guess -- and I come to find that 650 Rider has been folded into XS650.com. Oh well, the only thing that stays the same is change, I suppose . . . Don't have much to contribute or comment...
