Just curious as to which stock 650 yall like as far as looks and looks alone. Not ride or performance. My personal favorite is a toss up between the 73TX and the 75XSB.

1970 just because it was first,
and the 72 because red and motorcycle go together like underwear and fart stains.
I like the 73 and 75 also. AND the green 78's, always wanted one of those.

I vote for
1973 Metallic Flake Blue,
then 1973 Pearl Yellow Gold (more rare),
also like 1970 & 1975 too.

It never got better than the original.

That is a beaut! Almost had one similar before I found my 78
A '75 was the first XS that I remember seeing. Still my favorite.

My Dad bought a 75 when he retired from the Navy and put 35K miles on it touring the U.S. over the next few years. Whoever came up with that tank decal design and color combination hopefully got a raise! The 74/75 pipes also have a real unique sound compared to the earlier and later bikes. I really like my 78 Roadster but I'll always have a special place for the 75B

Shovel Jockey,
The Pearl Yellow Gold colour was available in some states here.
Where I bought mine they were all Blue however I do have a tank in the other colour.
I would guess that in total more than 95% were Metallic Flake Blue.
This is my first attempt at uploading photos so I'm not sure if it will work.View attachment 40343
