For some reason, a ton of XS650 motorcycles and parts have been appearing on eBay lately. Today was no exception, as these somewhat rusty-spoked wheels show. The auction is about to end, but the wheels are only at $110 including shipping with 30 minutes left. That seems like a reasonably good deal for these if you happen to need them for your Yamaha cafe racer project.

This is easily one of the purest cafe racers I have posted in a while. This XS650 has been distilled down to the essence of cafeness. But not only that, it is extremely well built to boot. The paint looks near perfect, the parts are all new or very clean, and it even has rear-sets (the usually forgotten part). I think the seller is very optimistic on the price, but it is certainly a nice bike. I copied the list of features the seller put in the listing to below the photos, so scroll down for more info on what’s been done to this bike…
