Yamaha’s XS-1 650cc twin was first seen in 1968 matching the performance of the British bikes of the era but in a more reliable, and oil-tight way. By the mid 1970s, with the help of famous racer and ex Triumph test rider Percy Tait, the handling had been brought up to European standards as well making it a very desirable model.

This XS650 twin has been part of an enthusiast private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes, so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not run for a number of years, they have been carefully stored in a dry building but will all need recommissioning before use. The bike is the later electric start, alloy wheel rim version and is presented in good original condition. A model that has always been a favourite with specials builders, not many XSs have survived in standard trim and once recommissioned it will make a very useable bike in modern day road conditions that’s still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a Haynes manual and a current V5C.
