1971 Yamaha XS 650 A Worthy Project

Wish there were a few more photos but this old XS looks like a great start for a project that you will love riding after you get it running. Don’t know why the throttle was removed and it is missing the mufflers. Still. It looks like it was well sheltered and I love the clean lines of those drum brakes!

I’d say this is a great find for anybody looking to massage a classic vintage bike back to life. Click here to see if it is still up for grabs.

WHAT IS A RWP?
The phrase “Running When Parked” (RWP) is code for a once treasured possession that has been neglected in the corner of the garage or tool shed for far too long. Lacking the energy, time or resources to bring the little beauty back to life, the owner lists it for sale in hopes that a new owner will massage it back to health. Our collection of RWP bikes fall into two distinct categories; treasure or trash. And you are the only one who can properly judge which category the bike belongs in.
