1974 Yamaha XS650 Bobber
Name: Rob
Location: Va Beach
Means of Contact: PM
Price: 4000 OBO
Description:
I have a 1974 bobbed out Yamaha XS650 for sale that I really do not want to let go. I had been searching for a bike like this for a while and when I finally get a hold of it I have to sell it! This thing runs, rides, sounds like a champ, and is the definition of old school bobber. This bike turns heads, gets people talking, and just makes you feel awesome.The weakest link on these bikes is the charging system, which is why the original charging system was replaced with a permanent magnetic alternator and solid state regulator, so the bike can essentially be ran without a battery due to the efficiency of the charging system. The pesky points ignition has also been replaced with an electronic ignition, so no more adjusting the points when the weather gets cold. Price is OBO.
