I saw this add in CL and was wondering, did they make the XS's all the way to '87?
He's only asking $500.

I was surfing around and came to the realization that this is a '78 not a '87.
Maybe just a typo, or maybe he doesn't know what he's got.
Man, If I didn't already have a project (my SG) I'd think about this one.
"thinking aloud: Maybe I could get this 'smaller' bike for my SWMBO"
Naw, she doesn't ride.
Edit: I just re-read the CL ad, NO TITLE. That sucks.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

George, the XS750 was made up until 1979. In 1980 Yamaha took the same bike and converted it to an 850 cc engine, so from 1980 -1981 it was the XS850. Much like the XS1100, they had the Special model, which I thought started in 79 also, which would make that a 79 XS750. the XS850 had a special model as well.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

I've got a part list page here: http://www.ytcn.nl/archief/index.php...01950-1996/XS/
That shows a parts catalog for a 750SE and 750SF.
Going by the naming conventions they used during 78-82, then an SE would be a 78 special and SF a 79 special.
There's also a part list for the 750E and 750F. The standards.
Of course the VIN will tell all.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

Could well be George, I am just going from memory of years gone by and what I have seen. I can be wrong, I have proven it plenty in the past, and will probably again in the near future.
