The French Blue one is a XS650C. I still have mine bought new at 17 yrs. Old. Just a great bike that Yamaha made. It was a 13 yrs. Production run for Yamaha. Just plain bulletproof engine! They are such a joy to ride. Miles of smiles…..
this makes me want to sit in my garage for a month with these bikes just disassembling and restoring. Its so strange that after dirtbikes and crotch rockets, the thought of cruising around on one of these is just so refreshing.
He's laid off because the museum is closed but he comes by every day or two he lives next door we've been good friends for a long time he's like family
Ken the xs650 was flat tracked a lot correct? A hardcore biker tried to get me to build one when I was 21. Just like missing the hole shot on a 500. I effed up
PLEASE, pumpup at least one of these bikes, a pumped xs650 will eat those buell's you guys have been riding around, just ask Kenny Roberts, excuse me for the buell statement!Just take of them and make a tracker out of it, and I would bet money that you would keep it ! Kaplan America to the rescue!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see what they look like when you start getting them restored Ken love those XS650 Yamahas great bikes
