1973 Yamaha TX650- FOR SALE!!!

Quick video of bike running and riding, narrated by Steve.

This '73 650 has some mods to make it into a fun cafe racer. Features include clubman cafe bars, custom-made rearsets, two into one exhaust with reverse cone megaphone muffler, cafe style seat and racing stripe decals. Engine is stock and original and runs great. Clutch and five speed transmission shift smoothly with no surprises, and when it comes time to stop the brakes do their job well. All mods to make the bike into a cafe racer are "bolt on" mods and nothing permanent was done to make it into what you see today. In other words, bike can be returned to stock setup by simply bolting on OEM parts. Turn signals have been removed and wire leads tucked neatly under seat and in headlight shell. No dents present in sheet metal, and original blue metal flake paint is in what I'd consider great shape for it's age, save one scratch across top of fuel tank. Electric starter still works, but I recommend using the kickstart as the starter gear on these bikes were known to fail over time. Kick starting looks cooler at bike night anyway! Bike has 19360 original miles. All lights and guages work as they should. This bike runs great and is very reliable, and it's a blast to ride and has a great vintage bike feel and tons of character!
