1974 XS 650:
Hi,
Well, partly because of
your web-site, I am the new owner of a decrepit "74 XS650.
I've owned a 1981 in the past, bought for $400CAN and sold for
$800CAN after riding it through a WET west coast winter a few
years ago. Wanted an earlier "standard" model and
looked for quite awhile before finding this one within 2 hours of
my house. Within the first 2 min. of riding it, she tried ti spit
me off in a set of "s" bends, in the rain!! Took it for
a weekend ride and afterwards this is the run-down: 1) shot
swing-arm bushings, 2) blown right-hand shock, 3) chain gaurd
worn through/partially snapped off, 4) leaks like a sieve. The
bike will start, when it wants to, runs well on the highway,
stops(eventually), and seems like a good project piece. The bike
will be upgraded/modified till winter and then re-built. Why call
it the P.O.C.?
Because right now it's a piece of c**p!!
Keep up the great work!!
