2000 Yamaha Dragstar XVS650.

Needs a new battery, plugs and an air filter then it's good to go.

Tops out about 110, but not built for speed obviously.

only 13000 miles on it, been in storage for last 2 years so a little dusty LOL.

Got some brillo pads, heavy duty degreaser and some autosol/autoglym to get it nice and shiny.

    Ha Ha..... sold all of my bikes. Have a special 'new build' all in boxes in the spare room, just waiting on some final parts to arrive.

    I wont use the motorbike a lot, just when I fancy it, maybe to work. More of a whim than a lifestyle choice. Aint had a bike for 20 years LOL

    Only paid £500 for it which is a ridculously good price ;)
