WOW! From Florida in the US. I've owned three XS 650's (one a parts bike) over the years. advanced Osteoarthritis prevents me from riding comfortably now so sadly I can only watch. This one thing I'll say in closing. Of the various motorcycles that I owned in the time that I rode the XS650 was the absolute best for that liberating autumn day ride when the sun, balmy breezes, and a winding, hilly two lane country road calls for that brief time of freedom from the cares of life. As you unwind and lean over in those curves and climb those hills with the sun on your back and the wind in your face and experience the sheer joy of riding, that bond between man and machine. That XS650 sure footed and stable on those winding roads. For me she was a hand in glove fit. Thank you for sharing that video and that beautiful machine with us. It must be fast and powerful.
