Attention XS 650 Owners

Attention XS 650 Owners:

Attention Yamaha XS 650 owners:.

I am a freelance journalist and fellow XS 650 owner based in Sydney, Australia and I am writing a tribute article on the XS 650.

I would like to invite any owners or former owners of this glorious machine to answer a few questions and share any stories or experiences on the bike. I will use some of these responses as quotes in my story which will eventually be submitted to a number of classic motorcycle publications in Australia, Britain and the US.

There is no guarantee that the story will be published; this is the nature of freelance journalism, but I will be giving it every possible chance. I will of course forward a copy of the article to all contributers should it be published.

I would also welcome any photos of XS 650’s but there is a condition. Most publications require photos to have been shot on at least a 4 megapixel digital camera or greater. This means there are limitations on what can be sent via email. I have however included a postal address below.

Despite the lack of a specific publication to which I will be submitting, I do still have a deadline which falls at the end of the next fortnight, the weekend of 25-26^th August, so I would thank any contributors to submit material by those dates.

QUESTIONS: Please answer one or as many as you like. Do not be concerned with presentation, punctuation etc.

Age, your location and anything else you may wish to include.

How and when did you get into the XS 650?

Why do you like them so much? / Best thing about them?

How many have you, or do you own?

Any other interesting XS 650 facts or stories?

I thank you for your time. Any contribution will be greatly valued.

Regards

Glenn Luttrell
