XS 650 Screwturner
Just wanna share some pics and a story of a nice find by my local Yamaha dealer in Dartmouth NS
They found,about 3 hours away a completely original 78 XS650SE which hads not been registered on the road since 1986 and showing just over 5000 km on the odometer The bike is complete,but not running, Paint ,seat ,tires,exhaust all original and in great shape for the paint showing some cracking....motor is free and the shop appear to be in no great rush to work on it....they have on display in the showroom and haven't even cleaned it up...it sits complete with 30 year old cobwebs underneath it.
It certainly is a nice find and a super candidate for a complete restoration
