Ttaskmaster Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 You have a 1997 Yamaha XVS650 Custom. Standard colour for the 97 models. There is also a pale blue version and a red & silver version (different years, I believe). There is really only the Custom - model XVS650 and the Classic - model XVS650A There are variants A, B, C, J, Q etc but these are just very slight revisions. Just about everything is still interchangable between variants. It's only whether you have a Custom or Classic that makes any difference. The bike has customised pipes, backrest, luggage rack, bar grips, mirrors, tax disc holder and footpegs. Take the other keys off your keyring, otherwise they'll swing back and forth as you ride and scratch your tank paintwork to buggery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I do like that colour! Is that a grave yard in the back ground or just a new housing estate for hobbits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
