love the look of those early yammy 650's. must say I prefer the green ones though.

I was tempted to go buy one of these (an XS1b) last week. Looked clean, low miles all original, asking $1400, 4 hours away though. probably missed a chance to make a few bucks.

I saw a green one in very nice original shape go for $4200 a while back.  Every month or so one pops up on the local CL.  A nice red 72 was listed recently for $800 :o :o and sold within an hour.  Just missed that one by about 30 minutes.  I thought long and hard about what year I wanted and settled on a 75 I recently picked up.  Much better frame than the 70-73 models but I m still keeping my eye out for an XS1or XS2 if I can find a good steal.

Carefull with XS1 as all the cam drive stuff is different

That is
Crank sprocket(or rather crank)
cam sprocket(or rather Cam)
Cam chain

        Nope, I'm not crazy about the color either. I was kinda looking for a local Daily rider, that I wouldn't mind putting some miles on, "And that ain't it!' Went for the CB650C that I found that was only about 20 minutes away and for lots less money as well. ;)

sweet looking motorcycle. a cafe tail, rearsets and some clip-ons would make it look even better

Aww jeez, that would be little more than butchery on a XS1 in that good of shape.
