1973 YAMAHA TX650 **NO RESERVE** BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED XS1 XS2 XS650 STANDARD

** HIGHEST BIDDER TAKES IT HOME!! ****CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THIS DESCRIPTION FOR AUCTION UPDATES!!For your consideration. a well preserved 1973 Yamaha TX650 Electric. This bike is an excellent example of an early ?ˆ?standard?ˆ? model XS650. A true survivor. as most of its siblings were chopped into hardtail bobbers over the last few years. it has recently undergone extensive restoration while maintaining its 41 year old character.  It should make a sound investment that will only appreciate in value over the next few years. This is a powerful bike that can hold its own on the road against many of today?ˆ™s bigger bikes!  Twin OEM 38 mm Mikuni carburetors give it tons of torque off the line and the powerband just goes up from there. The motor has been tuned very well and has excellent throttle response. without hesitation. The bike starts right up. usually on the first kick. but I prefer the electric starter. It idles well. runs strong and rides well through all the gears. Some unique original features of this bike are as follows:Original thumb lever electric starter/compression release switch is in excellent working condition. Original front disk braking system with early master cylinder and rotary brake light switch assembly has been rebuilt and in excellent working condition. Original air cleaner assemblies with NOS filter elements.
