2026 XS650 Calendar - Proof & Pre-Sale link

[samoran1]

12/19/25 - ALL PRE-ORDERS HAVE SHIPPED! After a few long nights the Pre-sale calendars are in the mail. Most of you should get a tracking number. That may or may not come until Monday. Thank you all.

They are now in-stock and available while supplies last! Will be shipping through Tuesday (12/23) next week and will likely not ship until following Monday (29th).

A couple things I want to mention. My costs for calendar production and shipping have both increased again and I have to raise the price of the calendars to $22. We have not raised the price of calendars for 10+ years. I hope you understand as this is not something I like doing. Also, USPS implemented in 10/25 that their "holiday rates" on shipping also have increased. There's nothing I can do about that. You're getting best price I can offer for shipping. Pre-sale will run through 12/14/25 and will get the $2 off per calendar, in the store the discount will apply in the cart/at checkout.

The process will be the same as previous years. Pre-Sale and then in-stock ordering. Pre-sale will go for TWO WEEKS and Pre-Sale will be $2 off at $20. This guarantees you a copy of the calendar and puts you in priority for shipping times. After the pre-sale the price will go up to $22. Calendars will be produced and in my hands approximately 1 week after pre-sale ends.

A couple additional notes so there is no confusion on calendar or where the Paypal Charges come from.
Calendars are designed, produced, packaged and shipped by me, Shawn Moran. I use the name of my freelance business "Moran Design Co" and that is what will be on the billing from PayPal and other communications.

If you have any questions let me know before ordering. Most of you hardcores have my DM, email, hell even probably phone number.

LASTLY,
This calendar project is a fair bit of work. I know there are many that still enjoy this each year. I don't know if I need to start this in August or what to get everything on time but getting everything so late while giving the nominees their fair chance to get information to me keeps putting me behind the holidays and I just cant do that anymore.

I appreciate your patience and hope you understand. At the end of the day when it's done I am thankful that so many want this product but seems like it's losing interest. For those who order every year I always appreciate seeing your names on the shipping labels. So thank you.

Shawn

XSers,

You have NOT missed the calendar sale link we're just getting it rolling! I got behind with little communication from a couple entries and had to replace one month with a runner-up so I am a little behind again this year. The month of May has been swapped with cap44 as he was next up in line and I didn't hear back from the member voted in.

I digress, attached are the proofs for the 2026 Calendars. I may tweak them slightly still but this should be close. This will be the 14th year of the calendar with well-deserved bikes being voted in. Thank you to everyone in the calendar who got me the information needed. Well done!

I want to thank the members for the help and push to keep this going. It is a lot of work but as always it's the your appreciation, excitement, and satisfaction that keeps this alive year after year. So thanks again.

Now that is what I all service! Ordered two of those calendars . You have worked hard on this and deserve some credit Shawn.
Thank You ,
I'll have something to look at all year. One of these days
I'll send pictures of my 74 Yamaha 650. original brown colored tank. Just need to install carbs and put the rest together. Hopefully done this April 2026
Tore it down to the frame and repainted the frame. and putting it back together. Still a stocker.
It's great knowing how many guys are still riding this Yamaha 650 of various years. I had a 71 years ago that I chopped .

Thanks again. dino

Great product again, and do understand the effort and work you do to, not only put it together but have to chase up those who don't get their shit together and drop out.

TO get a calender to Aus using USPS ordinary mail, (10-21 days, more the latter) wouldn't arrive much before the middle of January.
Calendar + postage, (plus exchange rate), is $68Aus

If I use priority international option, (7-10 days usually the 10), would receive around new year, price goes up to $130.00Aus.

I'm priced out of the market, Sorry.
Not the calender cost, mail and mostly the exchange rate is the killer

 

[Flash1977]

Looks good

 

[BowlingSS]

Ordered my calendar. Looks great.

 

[rickthefix]

Just ordered one, got my 75 for October. Thanks for the great work!

 

[JMAS]

Just ordered mine too. Looking forward to getting it.

 

[Dio77]

Ordered mine as well.

 

[Crashedkiwi]

I'll just ad my voice to the cohort - thanks for all your effort, time & talent to curate this. I suspect you may win a "herding cats" badge as part of the process. I've ordered mine, the postage is to NZ frankly criminal, but possession is necessary.

I couldn't agree more with you and Skull. Wish there was something I could do. Appreciate your continued support!
