THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL BIKE !!!!

How long have you had it and what kind of condition was it in?

 

[axel99]

Hi! About 10 years. Condition was not good. So painting is new, chrome, seat and so on. And engine....

BUT: the XS 650 is a wonderful bike with a wonderful sound. I dont know any new bike which I would like to have instead this (in this "range" of bike)

Hi Axel welcome. your bike is a fine looking example of TLC.
You have done a great job on her.
I like the OHC on the side covers, good touch., Ed

Welcome and a very nice example, I was just wondering if that rear fender was longer then the US models? It seems longer in the rear.

That is a beautiful example of what not to cut into pieces. Just a stunning restoration. Well done my friend.

Never saw rear turn signals there either. Is that a European standard? Very nice bike.

Hi!

yes, rear fender an turn signals have been different in Germany/Europe.

Best regards!
