Is that a European or a US model ? And do you know what year the best xs650 was prodused in? Because i am buying one pretty soon... And i need to know witch model i have to look for ?
I had a 71 XS 650 and I think they made it a year or two before 71. Mine was maroon with a front disk brake. I had a friend that had a blue 72. They are very cool bikes. They sound like a triumph, but are more dependable
71 XS were gold and white with front drum brake. Disc brake were introduced in 72 and they were red/marron and white with electric starter. If you're friend have a blue one, it's a 73 TX650.
I agree, very cool bike...but....keep it old school and kick it!...I took the electric start off my 82 wideglide when I put a 3" open primary on it, Im 100% old school kicking now.
Yeah, I'm all for the old school kick start. But we built this bike to sell and we kept the electric start so if someone would prefer to have it they would not have to hook it all up. Thanks for the compliments everyone!
lol, thats cool, I have friend that builds a bike here and there as a hobby, then sells it to payfor another bike build, thats one way to pay for a hobby. I was just razzzin ya about the electric start :) I know ya gotta do what ya gotta do. There are Bikers...then there are those who ride a motorcycle. Im not a 1%'er but im not a weekend fair weather rider either. Nice build on the bike, and I hope you post more of your builds.
I've been noticing from some time that skinny wheels are very cool.
Try to check a bike that was built for a "great biker build off" episode: Billy Lane vs Mike Brown, the last one made a really cool skinny rear wheel bike.
it must be very comfortable riding it
