Being picky but I see a rewelded bottom seam on the gas tank...
I might be way off base, but yeah, That seems like that at that price it should be pretty close to flawless, or at least have an invisible repair. But I'm certainly no expert on values.View attachment 251011

Well, at least we know it wasn't ground too thin.The bigger the blob, the better the job!
I wonder what frame that is?Might be worth a look if you are near Minneapolis. Pretty hard to make heads or tales about what he's selling, quick tell says the motor's 72

YAMAHA 650CC TWIN 1962 - $649 (coon rapids)
ONE DOLLAR PER CC GOOD ENGINE AND SITTING IN A NICE YAMAHA FRAME W WHEELS READY FOR EXHUST PIPES. SEE PIX. THIS IS THE ONE THAT WAS USED BY THE DIRT TRACK RACERS TO COMPETE WITH THE TRIUMPHS OF THE DAY.S GONE BY . A RARE FIND TO BE SURE. MOTOR NOT SEIZED AND READY TO START EARLY YAMAHA HAD DRUM BRAKES SO WE PUT A LATER FRONT FORK ON CYCLE FOR BETTER STOPPING POWER. DISCS WORK MUCH BETTER. DRUMS ARE AVAILABLE MOTOR TURNS OVER FINE. WILL THROW IN THE STOCK FORKS FOR FREE. WITH DRUM BRAKE AND WHEEL EXCH I WILL GIVE YOU THE ORIGINAL FRONT END IF I KEEP THE ONE SHOWN IN PICTURE THIS IS WHAT COMPETED WITH TRIUMPH TWINS FOR MANY YEARS. IN THE 1960'S MOTOR IS GOOD ==A GREAT COLLECTORS CYCLE
It neatly solves the single-carb problem, but at the expense of the exhaust pipes and chain wanting to occupy the same space as frame tubes, by the look of it.I wonder what frame that is?
GuessesI wonder what frame that is?
Someone please save that beautiful bike! Easy fix/clean to make it a nice "Survivor" right there...great price too.
