Pictures of xs650 bikes from back in the day

Post all of the old yamaha pics from way back in the day. Even if they are not yours.

I found these on Flickr and thought they were pretty rad.

My bike, a good friend Circa 1975. I rode that thing to Florida for spring break.

I do like these old photos, even emulating the style is fun....

Wow, great pictures. I'm probably the oldest guy on the forum but I've only been riding a few years so I can't offer any pictures from back in "the day".

Loving these old photos. So interesting to look back at photos decades ago and pick out the little things that were "in style" then.

any long time fan of AMA flat track will recognize the young man on #11 what you don't know is who the rider is pushing the bike away in the backround ...

Hi All,
I just joined (mainly to seek a second opinion re an electrical problem) days after unearthing some old photos of my '72 XS2 taken in 1975/76:

And here we are 36 years later (March 2011):

OK I'll bite kop. You do know who the Joe is in the background?
And anyone notice those are Honda CB 450's in #12? Granted, the gal is a hottie.
freddy, Rockin' pics and ride you got there! 35 yrs (give or take) with the same bike, WOW!

I gave it a quick glance and also thought so, I looked again after it was revealed as a non XS and saw it. Simple mistake to make.
