Whats up everyone? I just wanted to show you guys this 1980 xs650 I just picked up today. I was actually looking at an 81 xs400, but the guy was out of town till this upcoming weekend. It was really clean with 8500 miles on it listed for $2400. The XS always intrigued me but never owned one, and I would have liked a 650.
Ended up coming across this newly posted 650 this morning. so I jumped on it after The owner sent me a video.
Its all original aside from the handlebars. This one also has 8500 miles and am super excited to get back on a street bike. Pumped its a 650 too. I paid $2500 for it. I think its fair especially being all stock and low miles.
It does show its age, as any original 45 year old bike would. But till clean up nice.
My plans are to ride it. and ride more. All jokes aside, I just plan on cleaning it up, I Do want to put an exhaust on it. I would like to upgrade the front brake weather thats pads and rotor or a more modern master cylinder and caliper. I want to put new cables on it as well.
All the other xs listed in my area either need a good amount of work or are chopped up and I was in the market for a turn key, all original bike.
Bike came with receipts from when it was serviced, original owners manual, repair manual, and few other things
Last bike I had a 94 kawasaki vulcan vn750. I really do miss that bike. Its been around seven years since and now I primarily ride dirt bikes as I'm in the desert.
