Wow! Does that bring back good memories! I bought one new in 1972 & rode it for 14 years. What a great bike! Super reliable too! Thanks for the video.

[mikegoy1]

this was my 1st bike. bought it new. best bike i ever owned. better than my Harley that i now own.

[barymire]

had a 71 extended forks custom pipes seat paint had it on lay away making payments at 16 years old. Had to wash dishes to pay for it over a year. Drove a 125 Suzuki through the freezing snow in Chicago to work with oven mits for gloves and cardboard taped to helmet shield. When year was up ready to get bike , dad found out you can get a motorcycle license at 16 but insurance law was 18 years old, couldnt get the bike. all my life has been getting whatever bike i want now

[zzzak666]

Do you mean that it was started for the first time ever on that day,is that a new unused bike?

[yamahamer72]

I have owned one of these from new. In process of restoring. Wouldn't sell it fo a million bucks!

[wiibasslife]

i got a cb750 i wouldnt mind getting one of these in my garage next to it

You have a really great bike, awesome. I also own a 72 XS650 like this one. I really like the sound of those engines.

[SCOBMAN]

I have this bike.

5,000 original miles

everything original still even the brake pads and tires

[wetweasel56]

Had a 70 model which I think was the first year they made them. Rode the hell out of it for about a year then sold it for the same amount I paid.

[EthansBADdecksCO]

my dad has the same exact bike!

[rockingryder]

Nice bike

[Vintabilly]

My first bike was an XS2.

The sound of it starting made me smile...

Thnx.

PS- Those metal sidecovers are SO hard to find!

[fn58]

I had the same bike, year and color, I sold it because I want to watch my two little girls grow up, I miss the bike but love my girls more.

This is a beautiful and classic bike through and through, Thanks for the video.

God that is such a reality...sadly so true. But you can keep one or two in your garage to tinker with and go out when there is no traffic - safer than bicycles on roads - kind of.

[psmurf13]

That's amazing. I bought one brand new for about $1600 Canadian. Looks great and sounds great too. Lots of vibration over 60 mph. other than that it was great bike.thanks for the memory

[taylorwranney]

just bought literally the same model and color today.

[TechPirateDougo]

You want to sell it??

72'当時乗っていたバイクです　懐かしいです　排気音が違いますが（＾－＾）

[asupara4418]

音違いますか。1:41の時刻の音はちょっと似てるように思いま­すが。

[yamahamer72]

Nice bike. I bought one in the fall of 1971 and still have it (about 80-90k miles). It does not run but I am in process of restoring. Love these bikes

[GregSr]

Thanks for the great video! I bought my '72 650 Yamaha new back in March of '73. I remember paying $1200 for it. Seemed like a lot at the time. Sold the bike in 1977 when I became a father.

I loved that bike. I always made sure it sparkled and always had clean oil.

Great memories. Wish you would have included some video of it going down the road.

[bilbommer]

The only japanese bike that sounds english

[stevelautner]

sweet i have one of these. mine was not taken care of early in its life. has 13000 miles runs and starts just as yours does. nice though

[fullhouse72]
