That style is a popular look. However having owned 5 XS's over the years and "fixing" every one of them to my styling I'd recommend that you try harder to find a near stock/ original XS and then strip or modify that to your own liking.I am a noob, looking for some advice here. Anything specific I should look for?
Welcome to the forum!Hello All,
I have been contemplating getting an XS650 and exploring this forum for the past few months now.
I have been drooling over this one posted on Craigslist (https://richmond.craigslist.org/mcy/d/henrico-81-yamaha-xs-650/7333443130.html). I have no clue if this is a fair price or the condition of it. Should i be concerned that it says the tail is chopped?

Thanks so much for the wisdom. I was getting excited, but waiting to find a less modified 650 is probably my best move.
This is going to be a side project while I'm in grad school and I think @Machine is right. I will have a more satisfying experience if I don't have to undo sloppy work.
Is there anything I should stay away from? Are 650 specials preferred over the standard? I have also heard conflicting information about 256 and the 447 engines. I hardly know what a 'fair' price is.
Once again, I really appreciate your input and I am excited to contribute to this community in the future!
