Poor XS650..
« on: July 15, 2010, 04:37:16 PM »
This just pisses me off. I actually like XS650 choppers.. But this ad is just sad.

What the hell was this guy smoking when he built this frame? It doesn't even look like carbs would fit on the motor!

you wouldn't trust that frame over a bump, it shows a complete disregard for geometry.

What a dipsh!t.  I saw something similar on our local GL.  Guy buys a really nice 77XS650, I saw the bike when it was for sale, and turns it into the typical ugly useless hardtail bobber and is now trying to sell it for less than he has into it.  I hope he takes a major bath on it.
