Description

1981 Yamaha XS650 Street Tracker, ene Romero tribute, o expense spared

Listing for a (retired senior)friend of mine who is not an Ebayer. Fully street legal.
He built it over a number of years and it was a labor of love for a Gene Romero fan (see final pic for Gene's track bike).
Clean IL title in hand. Many parts from Omar's Dirt Tracking.
This bike always draws a crowd at bike rallies / shows and has been in several national magazines. ____________________________________________________ Here are WAY more pics than Ebay will allow me (and higher resolution):
