I was at Myrtle beach this weekend and I cant tell you how many people called my XS a triumph, Norton, BSA etc. I figured I would of prevented most of that by going with a vanity tag that says "XS650". Did Yamaha copy one of these engine designs? Do riders of XS"s often get this?
On a side note. I placed second in the burnout contest Saturday night at the Suck Bang Blow. The winner was on a VRod and had to pop his tire to beat out the ole XS. I did some some standing next to the bike, but skinny XS tires dont smoke much. Crowd response was in my favor till I corrcted the anouncer and told him my bike was a Yamaha not a Triumph. Then the Harley crowd suddenly hushed.
