Hi everyone, just an intro.. the only bike I've ever wanted was an XS650 so finally bought one (I'm 39 now) and am learning to ride and enjoy the bike.
It's a 75 XS650B which I purchased locally which has had a lot of restoration done as well as re-phase engine etc. I'm from Melbourne, Australia btw.
ATM its frustrating the hell out of me due to evil handling and wobble/shimmy starting at about 50mph which precludes me from riding on freeways.
Here's some pics of the old girl:
Vid of it starting:
Any comments or digs, bring them on. If you want more details just ask....
... just don't tell me evil handling from 50mph is normally part of the package for the B.
