Yamaha XS description
Up for sale is my 1977 Yamaha XS650 Motorcycle Hardtail Bobber with springer front end. I bought this recently on eBay and had it shipped to California. Unfortunately it was shipped not running. Since purchase I bought BRAND NEW battery, coil, ignition wires, spark plugs, fuel filters and gave it a oil change and carb clean. And with a little patience and knowledge of older bikes, I got the bike running. She could use a little timing adjustment, but she purrs like a kitten when idling. Under load she hesitates a bit but once the RPM's are up she rides well and shifts well. She's loud too which I like. Now that being said she is not without fault, and anyone who purchases should know a little something about older bikes. Points, periodic carb cleaing, general maintenance, so on and so forth. She has a slight oil leak left side cylinder, that doesn't show up all the time (probably the gasket) $13.00 bucks at mikesxs. Doesn't happen all the time, but I thought I'd mention it. I would also change the throttle cable soon too, that can found on eBay and Mikesxs. I have been as honest as possible and I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. Now as far as the title is concerned I did not get it inspected at CHP but the DMV fees ($180) are paid in California. That being said if someone buys it from CA it is up to them to have it inspected and they are purchasing as-is. New owner takes the responsibility of getting it titled. CHP needs to verify the VIN I just dont have the time and to be honest I have moved on to another project. I am going to take a hit on this financially, truly my loss is your gain. There is over $5K with the new parts, DMV fees and shipping to CA. PLEASE LOOK AT MY PRICE, DONT ASK ME TO GO LOWER. Please feel free to ask questions I will answer them immediately. Thanks for looking. - I will not deliver, pick-up or shipping is up to the buyer. IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING THE BIKE DOES HAVE A CLEAR TITLE, JUST NOT IN CALIFORNIA.
A deposit of $500 is due within 24hrs and the balance in full 7 days of auction close or you will forfeit your deposit.

Day 2 Dakar 2014: Sunderland Wins First Special Stage
Mon, 06 Jan 2014Honda won the second day of competition with Team HRC’s Sam Sunderland claiming victory in the first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Sunderland has had a frustrating time at previous Dakars, dropping out after three days of racing in 2012 and withdrawing a month before last year’s event due to fracturing both his wrists. Today, however, Sunderland made a grand entrance into the club of elite riders by brilliantly winning his first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Having started well behind his teammate, Joan Barreda, the 23-year old Brit superbly overtook Michael Metge and Juan Pedrero on the first part of the route.
