Write about your XS650.: One of three projects heading to Ebay from Whitehorse Creations. Our goal to make budget custom riders using Yamaha 650 platform. This particular bike has 11″ extended swing arm to accomodate frame cutting and lowering ; to end up with 17″ seat height.
Battery floats between swing arm with electrics in HD side tool boxes. Pipes were hand made with Supertrapp tips for that Brit sound. Forward controls and ( no ) reach bars for comfort. Quick release seat. Quick release brake rod (for emergency starting). Polished stainless inserts, cat eye taillight, nology plug wires, K&N’s and alloy rims also used. Handling is surprising due to low center of gravity. And it is comfortable! and for sale locally.

I’m at a loss for words. I like the innovation, but not necessarily the whole flow of the bike. Of course: to each, his own. How did you modify the swing arm?
Very interesting. It’s a good thing you’re not running velocity stacks… you might loose your junk if you take a ride in some shorts.
Ditto @Puker….my belly would choke it out!
yep my gut would strangle that engine
Ha never even thought about that complication… Imagine having to adjust the mixture screw due to your gut?
i like the creativity, but i dont like the bike.
Speechless. Ill just leave it as that…….
I don’t feel it..
That is the funkiest xs650 I’ve ever seen.
wow!
damn can you say human taco!! super sketchy!
Gotta say, I’ve never seen anything like it. Different is what two wheel death machines are all about right?!
holy crap thats crazy!!
so what are we calling it…
the barca lounger bike.
I will say this , I stretched my swingarm 2 inches and used 8 inches of solid plug with 2 going to the stretch and 3 per end going into the tubes. Then i had a piece of 1/2x 5/8 welded along the entire length of the arm. Its my wifes bike and although she’s heavily insured, she does cook for me.
11 inches is alot of stretch.
BLAAAAH that mate is as ugly as a wombat on heat!!!
Wow. Er. What. Oh. But. Wow.
What is it with you yanks your so friggin nice to each other!!
Say it,this bike is as ugly as wallaby shit and hes ruined a perfectly good bike and turned out an ugly arse piece of shit.
We have a sayin down here “Thank Christ my ancestors where convicts and not puritians”!!!
Come on guys grow some balls!!!!
Lo Bob when is this bike going on ebay, I’m interested in bidding.
gross. im interested in bidding justto save the poor thing from this murderer. ewww. nice harley toolbox though. or is that a cheap chinese knock-off?
One testicle per cylinder !
you should call it the nut sucker. If you get too close to the carbs its gonna suck your nuts in. lol, looks like you can take a nap while your ride that thing. Does it come with a mattress?
No words other than….holy shit dude, really? There’s no place for that bike other than the dumpster.
It’s definately a strange machine, love it or hate it I know exactly what what was going on here. Take a look at the Dan Gurney’s Gator motorcycles: http://www.allamericanracers.com/alligator/alligator_home.html From what I’ve read they’re pretty damn good handling bikes.
