After My Father Passed Away, The Government Started Taking All His Possession's. Me And My Uncle Took Something That Meant A Lot To Me Before They Could Get Their Hands On It. I Now Have His 1975 Yamaha XS650. The Bike Is Absolutely Beautiful If You Can Look Past The Years Of Wear From Sitting In A Shed. I Can't Wait To Get This Beauty Up And Running Again. You Can't Beat The Classics

Ahh, I love the classics.

I had a 1978 Honda CB750F Super Sport back in the day;

Custom White, Velocity Stacks, 4 into 1 Kerker headers and some chrome.
Pretty fast, handled like a pig compared to today’s sport bikes but was stable at speed and on the highway.
I rode it down to Daytona for “Bike Week” back in the early 80’s.
Fun bike, I loved it.

Good luck with your Yamaha. Let us know when you get it on the road, maybe we’ll try and have another “NEXTerra Bike Run”.

Pick a date and a destination -- I'm game.
