This may have been posted before on this site, but the question is "where or how did you find your XS650"?
I found my 81 XS650H at a garage sale about 15 or 16 years ago. I walked into the garage and there it was back in the corner being ignored by everyone except me. I asked the owner if it ran ok, he said he didn't know, it hadn't been started since last summer. Two kicks and it was up and running. The bike had 6,100 original miles on the clock and only needed a set of tires, it still had the original tires. The old XS650H was my only rider for ten years, I put many 400 mile days on it with my son-in-law and his bike. The only tools I carried with me was the original tool kit. Ain't that typical of the old bikes.
I paid $550.00 for the bike.
