Here’s my pride and joy. A 1971 yamaha xs1-b 650cc. I bought this about 3 years ago from a friend whose dad bought 2. There were both going to be turned into a hill climber, but dodged the axe. The other one, was destroyed hill climbing back in the day. This one saw lite road duty until 1992, then was put in a garage under a house, it was in a barn when i got it. I got it running again with a Hall effect ignition, and a vr from a 1976 amc eagle. Vr-115. That replaced the still working mechanical vr, but felt this was a good upgrade. I paid $3k for this, another 1980. Xs650 that i have torned into a cafe/roadster, another xs650 chop project with a weld warped frameso that motor will be used for a gocart bantam style with a wheelbarrow body.
The bike u see here only had 3600 miles. All original. Bright work in excellent shape. On. S650.com, a forum im on with the same name, angus67. When i posted pictures of it there, so many wanted me to take pictures of various details. These bikes are very loved, and at the time, one in this condition would easily bring $5k+
