Finally took delivery...75 XS650

[Vincenthdfan]

Well, after a lot of searching, many phone conversations, e-mails, payments deliberations and shipment waiting, its finally here to Washington State from Minnesota.

It took one month to the day in shipment, which isnt bad honestly.

She's way better than I had imagined, just gorgeous. Aluminums polished, seats perfect, tins are beautiful...

Looks great!

Same shippers that sent Weathervane to san franny.

Looks great!

I’ve used haul bikes a couple times. Not the cheapest, but always a seamless delivery.

Fantastic bike. Seems like several nice ones have migrated to the west coast from the upper mid-west lately.

For me, Haul Bikes was the cheapest rate I got by far. Might be because my bike was close to their hub in Milwaukee though. Excellent service.

I think we need to see a "roll call" out in the yard.

That may take a bit of work on my part

Beautiful bike. You will surely have lots or Joy. I see comments here about HaulBikes and when I came back into the fold 2 years ago, I used HaulBikes to deliver my "New to me XS650". Let us put it up front so there is no further questions. Ohio pick up to Wisconsin delevery was ~$700. But, break it down to discrete steps. A driver arrived at the seller and carefully loaded the bike. That driver dilivered his take (3, 5, 14 bikes) to a dispatch point in Philadelphia if I remember correctly. That dispatch point handled my new unseen treasure until they had enough bikes to make a Wisconsin shipment and again handled MY bike with care in dedicated trucks with very nice equipment to safeguard MY bike. I think HaulBike splite the shipment or drop shipped some bikes in Milwaukee. Haulbike loaded and unloaded MY bike 3 or 4 times and exercised care at every step. I recieved the bike in perfect shape. I was grateful for thier sevice. My bike had/has some cool custom paint and features so that care mattered to me.

My goodness, that is one beautiful bike. No wonder the XS became so popular.
