Yamaha was formed in 1955 as the motorcycle division of the company more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. Whilst building their reputation on high-performance two-strokes, Yamaha launched the XS-1 650cc four-stroke twin in 1968, matching the performance of the British bikes of the era but in a more reliable and oil-tight way. This led to a full range of four-stroke sports and touring bikes that are still top sellers today.

This XJ600, being offered at no reserve, has been part of a small private collection that is now being moved on to make way for other projects. The bike is fitted with a four-into-one exhaust, K&N type air filters, small speedo and braced Streetfighter-style handlebars. It is being offered along with a few old MOTS, receipts, an owner's manual and a current V5C. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning before use.
