This is a 1979 Yamaha XS 750 Special. I found her in a guy's garage under a pile of stuff. What attracted me to the bike was her overall clean condition and that Kerker exhaust. That's like the Holy Grail to Yamaha Triple guys She also has foam air cleaners that I believe are K&N's. The previous owner said he rode her up until a couple of years ago when he got a Harley. After that he parked the old girl and never touched her. The bike looks good for being 35 years-old. The tank has some small ripples in the top where stuff was piled on and a few nicks in the paint. The chrome could use a good polishing, but I think it would look great of you did. The seat looks like brand new; The PO must have replaced the seat cover recently. The electrics look good, not a chopped up as you often find. Tires look good, but I would replace them due to age. One side cover is missing. Other than that, I'd recommend doing a service and clean the carbs. I haven't tried to get her running, but I don't think it would take much. The engine turns over freely and makes good compression. I put a low price on her so the value of the individual parts would cover your investment. If you get her running, so much the better. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions.Paypal only, please. Thanks for looking.
