Beautiful bike, I had a 72 and put Makuni direct slide carburetors on it, I’ve been kicking myself in the ass ever since I sold it ..!
It is nice, isn't it? It's going up for auction on Bring a Trailer soon.

@@CapnSchep It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all...
@@bryancolleran3230 Thanx, I hadn’t thought about it like that ..
Delightful. A late pal had an orange one. I think the later models had a stiffer frame but a bit less poke, with lower compression.
Any chance of you contacting the new owner in the hope he may want to sell it , Im just retired and fancy re living my youth , ( if the new owner is interested perhaps you could forward his details
Sorry. He was really in love with this bike. He had a 71 and a 73 and had a space already set aside for it in between the other two. Each one has the Yamaha XS650 poster for that year on the wall above the space the bike is parked in. Maybe taking enthusiasm a bit over the top, if you ask me, but to each his own. At any rate, I don't think he'd be in a selling frame of mind.
Have you listed your xs2 on BaT yet?
They haven't got back to me with revised copy yet -
