1978 Yamaha XS650
Tuesday, February 1, 2011 Another little video from our friends at Deus. This time featuring a freshly painted red 1978 XS650 cut to Al Barry & The Cimarons song 'Morning Sun'. The bike has been hiding out in the Deus 'Temple of Enthusiasm' since they opened their doors. Now it's off to a new home where she'll be enjoyed by some lucky bugger.

good old xs650,.best bike ever built.
@kik I'm with you there. It's at the top of my list for a serious custom bike project. So adaptable and changeable...
Pretty :)
...and great music, too. First Tom Waits and now The Cimarons; someone at Deus has superb taste.
The XS is on my list too...do you read me Santa?
Make me a nice clean black bobber.
thats a beauty!
WHAT TANK IS THAT?
its the stock tank, nice painted - i love this bike!
Beutiful bikes, but i have a hard time buying into the costs of there bikes, with laregly stock comonents and a little cutting of the subframe.
@ dannyb278,...the cool thing about the xs is that it lends itself to anything,the cam and fly wheel roll on bearings, anyone with a hacksaw and a spray can can have their own unique bike...google xs650 and enjoy,.......
Look what I found.
This bike looks amazing. Loving that Red & White.
how can you charge over 11 grand just for a '78 yam xs? thats insane!
Love the xs650! Great tune too.
@Jack<..i agree with you,...11gran??....omg,i built xs with some help from friends,it cost me only $3000,total until paintings etc (with some beers money include on that,hahahah)
