No exceptions. $250 Non Refundable deposit is required About Yamaha XS650 The Yamaha XS650 went through a trial by fire to prove its reliability against well-established British and American bikes when it first appeared in Western markets late in 1969. Initially overlooked as just another foreign brand, it didn't take long for riders to notice how the XS650 stood out, particularly when it came to service and maintenance needs. The reputation of the XS650 was built in part due to its unique engineering and its odd history. Originally, the XS650's engine was a smaller 500cc engine designed by German manufacturer, Horex, that built engines and parts after World War II. After a few changes in ownership, the engine design was acquired by the Japanese company Showa, which Yamaha then took over in 1960. This blend of German engineering and Japanese refinement over the years gave the XS650 its reputation for being both reliable and powerful. One of the unique innovations of the engine was its crankcase. Engines at the time all used a vertically split crankcase, which tended to cause inevitable oil leakage and required maintenance to ensure proper use. The XS650 had a horizontally split crankcase, which meant less leakage and easier maintenance. Side by side with its contemporaries, the Yamaha XS650 would be the last bike still running when the others needed a break for maintenance or an oil change. It's this enduring quality that has given the XS650 a special place in the hearts of motorcycle enthusiasts.

EXTENSIVELY RESTORED 75 HOURS OF SHOP LABOR – $13,000 INVESTED – ELECTRIC START – 170 PSI COMPRESSION – NEW WHEELS & TIRES & MUCH MORE; Feast your eyes on this absolutely spectacular 1987 Yamaha BW350 Big Wheel! Widely regarded as the pinnacle of Yamaha's legendary Big Wheel lineup, the BW350 is the big-bore, electric-start powerhouse that takes the fat-tire off-road experience to an entirely different level. With its massive balloon-style tires, torquey 350cc four-stroke engine, electric start, and legendary Yamaha engineering, the BW350 was built to conquer terrain that would leave conventional motorcycles struggling for traction. Sand, mud, snow, loose dirt, trails, and rugged terrain β€” this machine was designed to go just about anywhere! And this particular example is something truly special. Here at Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum , we've invested approximately $13,000 in mechanical servicing, restoration, parts, and professional labor , transforming this exceptionally well-preserved, low-hour original machine into one of the nicest examples you're likely to encounter. This wasn't a quick detail job or a simple cosmetic makeover. Our restoration team invested 75 hours of professional shop labor at $150 per hour β€” $11,250 in labor alone β€” plus parts and materials. The result is an absolutely stunning BW350 that retains its original factory bodywork, fuel tank, and many important original components while benefiting from a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. MECHANICAL CONDITION – EXCELLENT ORIGINAL ENGINE – 170 PSI COMPRESSION! One of the most impressive aspects of this machine is the condition of its original Yamaha engine. During our comprehensive mechanical inspection and service, our technicians checked the engine's internal condition and performed a compression test. The engine produced an outstanding 170 PSI of compression! Even more impressive, our technician's work order noted that the cylinder's original crosshatch pattern remained in excellent condition. This is a strong indication of an exceptionally well-preserved engine with limited internal wear. The original cylinder bore was in excellent condition, and there was no need for an unnecessary engine rebuild. Rather than disturbing an excellent original engine, we thoroughly inspected, serviced, tuned, and cosmetically restored it. Mechanical service and inspection included: Carburetor professionally cleaned and rebuilt Airbox refurbished Brand-new air filter installed New fuel petcock installed New fuel lines installed Engine oil changed New oil filter installed Complete engine service and tune-up performed Valves inspected and adjusted Compression tested at an excellent 170 PSI Cylinder condition inspected, with excellent original crosshatch documented Engine exterior professionally restored and repainted Stator cover refinished Associated mechanical components inspected and serviced The original engine's excellent condition is one of the strongest selling points of this motorcycle. You're purchasing a beautifully preserved original Yamaha powerplant that has been professionally serviced β€” not a worn-out engine that required major internal repairs. BRAND-NEW KMS WHEELS & MASSIVE KENDA KLAW TIRES! Perhaps the most visually impressive feature of this Big Wheel is the enormous tire and wheel package. These are not worn-out original wheels or tires. We installed a brand-new KMS wheel set, front and rear, equipped with brand-new Kenda Klaw knobby tires! Just look at the size of those knobs! The massive rear tire looks like something you'd expect to find on an agricultural tractor, with an aggressive tread pattern designed to dig into loose terrain. The fat-tire configuration is what makes the BW350 such a unique machine. Its oversized tires provide an enormous footprint compared with conventional motorcycles, delivering flotation and traction in challenging off-road conditions. Wheel, tire, and drivetrain upgrades include: Brand-new KMS front wheel Brand-new KMS rear wheel Brand-new Kenda Klaw front tire Brand-new Kenda Klaw rear tire Brand-new drive sprocket Brand-new gold drive chain New associated mounting hardware Front brake drum professionally refinished Rear brake drum professionally refinished The combination of the beautiful silver wheels, aggressive new tires, and gold chain gives this motorcycle an incredible stance. It looks every bit as tough as it is! ORIGINAL FACTORY PLASTICS – PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED! One of the rarest and most desirable features of this BW350 is that it retains its original Yamaha factory plastic bodywork . Finding an old off-road machine with its original plastics still intact and in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly difficult. Most of these motorcycles were purchased to be ridden hard. Over the decades, many suffered broken fenders, damaged side covers, faded tanks, scratched bodywork, and extensive wear. This example is different. The original plastic components were exceptionally well preserved and were painstakingly restored by our professional detailing team. Rather than simply painting over the original bodywork or replacing it with reproduction parts, we performed a labor-intensive, multistage refinishing process. The plastics were carefully sanded through progressively finer grades, finishing at 2,000-grit , before being professionally machine-buffed and polished. This process takes considerable time, patience, and expertise, but the finished result speaks for itself. Original components restored and polished include: Original Yamaha fuel tank Original front fender Original rear fender Original side covers Original headlight housing and surrounding plastic bodywork The original plastics now display a beautiful, rejuvenated finish while
