Cheers, seen that one, looks a nice bike. Trouble is Im right down south and most are too far away, I dont mind traveling for the right bike though as have a van and guess its always possible to get a company to transport it. I really like the import one on there with the sports/cafe style seat, think it ends tonight but its Yorkshire way..

Hi, Dont seem able to post in the other areas but Im looking for an XS650. Been hankering for one for ages. Either project or runner, prefer something up together or not needing much work, dont mind an import, whehter registered or not. Open to anything basically, whats out there? Thanks, Doug.

They do seem popular in the states. Had a look today, solid but needs alot of parts/work, he wants 700, not sure its really worth that though..

Hi guys, I have the opportunity to buy a 1971 XS2, its a US import, needs restoring and not registered but fairly complete but needs a seat and a footrest. Where can I get parts from if I wasw to buy it, been looking quickly on google but not much joy at the moment. It has a spare tank and spare engine also but otherwise I dont know much else, just had a brief phone call with the owner. Any help with what to look for would be much appreciated as Im going to look at it tomorrow at 11. Do I bite his hand off or am I going to end up with a bike I cant get parts for? Thanks Doug.

Thats gorgeous. Think Im going to look for a 1980 model, something around that era thats a bit cheaper, plus I like the style of them

DVLA say its still out there but sorned, does anyone know its whereabouts or own it?? My dad used to own it, sold it around '96. A long shot but wondered where it now is.

yep 650B would be lovely, anyone want to sell me one for a grand though?? lol! Im down on the Isle of wight, so local website and papers have nothing, I know of an XS1100 locally but thats all I know of and he wants 2k for it. Ebay, bike trader and this forum are all I know of as best places to look so would be very gratefull if anyone knows of a suitable bike out there. cheers, Doug.

Thanks for that, the 'tatty' needs a bit of TLC but is complete is the sort of thing Im looking for though Im not shy of having to restore something from boxes if needs be. Wheres the best place to look for one? The 650Bs are lovely bikes but think I do have to set sights lower at the moment. Guess Iv just got to find something now..

Hi guys, just joined. Dont know if anyone can hlp me but Im looking for an XS650 as a project for over winter, preferably fairly complete but open to anything, I say project as funds are a bit limited, been keeping an eye out on ebay and there doesnt seem to be much out there! Has anyone got one for sale, know of one, parts etc. would be gratefull for any help. My dad had a 650 special US custom and I loved it, now looking to get my own XS. also posted this here as cant seem to post in the wanted section. Cheers, Doug.
