Arguably the Japanese motorcycle industry's most successful attempt at a traditional, British-style twin, Yamaha's 650 debuted in 1969 as the XS1, progressing via the XS2 to the XS650 (TX650 in the USA). Imported from the USA and first registered here on 1st August 2018, this TX650 benefits from some £1,400 spent on parts since its arrival, plus a full repaint of the frame, fittings and fuel tank. Re-commissioning works carried out include totally renewing the ignition system, thoroughly cleaning the fuel system, re-spoking the rear wheel, fitting new tyres/tubes, rewiring the electrics with correctly coloured cables, installing a new rear wheel spindle and bushes, and fitting new silencers. Bills for the parts are on file and the machine also comes with a VJMC dating letter and a V5C document. We are advised that all electrical items are working with the exception of the starter motor, and that the machine last ran in November 2019.
