Not Bratstyle- “Bertstyle” FOR SALE!

noid 006 1024x768 Not Bratstyle  Bertstyle FOR SALE!

Write about your XS650.:  For starter i work at a local Japanese motorcycle shop, this is where i came across this bike, it was the original owner trading it in on something a bit newer, already having 2 xs650′s in the works the bike caught my eye.  I talked my boss into getting me a great price on it and very quickly brought it home. over the past winter i stripped the bike and painted everything!

I tore the motor down and rebuilt it from the bottom up, all new gaskets, made the custom exhaust out of 350 scrambler headers and alot of heat.  Took the original seat pan and cut it to the shape i was looking for and had my local seat guy go to town on it.  i was going for the bratstyle theme, but got mixed between that and a dirt tracker.

It was a great ride at the begining of the summer then i let it sit in the garage while i was distracted by so many other things, just a week ago i went to fire it up as its now for sale and it only runs on the choke, i realy don’t even have time now to take the carbs off and clean them, so i am selling it as it sits, looking to get $1500.

    I like this bike a lot. Kinda what I’m going for with my motorsickle. Is that really the original seat pan? If so, I’m so going to town on mine…been holding back as it’s a completely mint original seat, but if I can get it to look similar I’ll be happy.

    I like this bike,,,,it looks like the old Triumph scrambler,,,,wide bars, dual side pipes, long seat and long fork dust covers,,,,,the candy red color sort of offsets the long Yammer Hammer tank,,,even the limp dick tail lite fits in with the whole thing,,,,I think I’ll build one just like it except I’ll call it RJstyle
