The seller offers for sale this 1987 Yamaha XS650, powered by a 650 cc parallel-twin engine. Rebuilt into a rugged bobber, this XS650 has been transformed from its classic roadster origins into a stripped-back custom with plenty of attitude. The odometer reads 26,000 km, and the motorcycle presents in good condition, its purposeful stance and pared-down bodywork giving it a tough, individual character. The bobber treatment strips the machine to its essentials, letting the air-cooled twin and the bike’s mechanical honesty take centre stage, and the bodywork shows no significant rust. The seller indicates the motorcycle has been converted into a bobber style and describes it as a distinctive, one-off build. Offered by a private owner under the margin scheme, this custom XS650 will appeal to anyone drawn to hand-built specials with real presence on the road.
The Yamaha XS650 holds a revered place in motorcycling as one of the most enduring and influential parallel-twins ever made. Introduced in the late 1960s and produced across two decades, its air-cooled 650 cc SOHC twin earned a reputation for robustness, easy character and a satisfying, torquey delivery that made the model a mainstay for riders around the world. Over time the XS650 became a favourite base for customisers, and its simple, strong architecture and timeless silhouette made it the platform of choice for the bobber and chopper scenes. That heritage lives on in machines like this one, where the classic Yamaha twin provides the foundation for individual expression. Admired for its blend of vintage character, mechanical simplicity and boundless customising potential, the XS650 continues to be sought after by enthusiasts of both original classics and bespoke customs.
