Lanzalones – “Love the site! I bought an xs 650 because of you! Work productivity is down cause of you. Wife’s shopping budget is down cause of you. Quality family time is down cause of you…”

Ollie – “I first saw your site whilst flat on my back in the hospital (for 5 weeks) after being knocked off my brand new, now dead, Moto Guzzi Griso 8v and I was hooked. Despite the broken bones in my neck, back, leg, wrist and foot I vowed that I would build an XS650 to my style, whatever that is!”

The XS650:

Over a quarter million XS650s in 40 different variations were produced by Yamaha between 1970 and 1985. The XS650 big twin, in America and worldwide has developed a cult following for good reason. At the heart of the XS650 is a indestructible engine. The best parallel twin ever built.. Tough durability, classic look and abundance of cheap parts make the XS650 the perfect platform to build a KILLER Chopper.

ZEN And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance..

” On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, and not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your feet is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it’s right there, so blurred you can’t focus on it, yet you can put your feet down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness.”
