  • Mai brought her XS650 into the Shed last week. The bike was designed by Mai, and built with help from Skate Interiors. The finishing touch - a scorpion sealed onto the tank.
    Mai is one of the three founders of VC London, a women's riding collective. VC London ladies nights are held here every first Wednesday of the month at The Bike Shed, 384 Old Street, London, EC1V 9LT

    This is a beautifully made chopper. So many good decisions on the build. Love rear end with full length sissy bar and the way the exhaust pipes rise up at the same angle. Superb.

    So many small details bring together a coherent bike, Mai. My favourites from yours are (in order) 1. frame / tank / mudguard / battery box being the same light colour. 2. The pipes kicking up at the same angle as the chainstays. Would love to do an xs650 or 750 next (albeit each lending themselves to very different outcomes in my head). Great result, you must be the envy of your mates!

    First street bike I ever rode was my Dad's 1981 XS650. When I was even younger my dad and I would get on it and go on weekend trips which were some of my best childhood memories. This is what started it all for me and now I've got my own Yamaha's an FZ6 and an MT-09 (not as classic but a total beast of a bike). Yamaha's rule!!!

    • @jeffruebens8355

      It is a much more reliable copy of the Triumph parallel twin. They have a roller bearing crankshaft to go with their lack of a rev limiter and course mesh screen as an oil filter. Some can not live with the engine vibration, and others get used to it. I was fine with it at 60 mph, not so happy at 105 mph. Also the heat coming up from the air cooled engine roasts you at stoplights in the summer. I now have 2 liquid cooled engines, a 600cc Honda V-twin with about 30 horsepower, and a 600cc Kawasaki inline-4 with about 90 horsepower. I enjoy one on most Saturdays and the other on Sundays.

    I fell in love with the XS650 back when AWOL magazine was giving a red chopped one away back in the early 90s. You get the basic air cooled, unit construction, vertical twin like a classic Brit bike, but with Japanese price amd reliability. I'd love one with lowered rear shocks, solo seat, forward controls, updated carbs/exhaust/cam/ignition, some mild head work, and a big bore 750 kit. (I'm a big boy, at over 300lbs, so it's not just for insane speed!)
