    Save this bike!!!!!!

    This beautiful running XS650 Special is in danger of being bastardizied into a hardtail chopper.



    I have been in contact with the owner trying to save it and he said he will take $950 or another not so cherry running 650 w/title and some cash for it.

    It is in Pennsyvania. Someone needs to SAVE THIS BIKE!!!!!!!

      its not like someone would be welcome with open arms into the Harley clubs just cuz their bike looks somewhat like a chopper...

          $950 is a steal.

                  Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

                  Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

                                                  A '72 XS-2 is quite collectible and brings good money. Go ahead and wreck it. Those left will just get more valuable. Right now, the cheap XS650s are Specials. It won't stay that way at the rate they're being hacked.

                                                      Lol, works for me. I've never bought a bike with the intent of making money off it. I just buy them for my own enjoyment. I did briefly consider restoring it, but issues the stupid thing caused me when I first bought it swiftly ground that idea into the ground.

                                                          I can't stand the suspense What are your plans for the '72 ?
                                                          1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
                                                          1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
                                                          1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
                                                          1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
                                                          1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

                                                          Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
