I WILL NOT CRATE, SHIP OR DELIVER. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AT MY SHOP IN HAMBURG, NJ 07419. Time-wasters, tire-kickers and low-ballers will be ignored. I just don't have time for folks who want to nitpick every little thing and try to get the bike for next to nothing. The bike is exactly as it is shown in the photos and described in the listing. No more and no less. $250 immediate payment through pay pal and the balance must be paid in cash within 3 days. The bike is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.The bike has a Pennsylvania title. I will also provide a printed and signed bill of sale. Actual mileage is unknown. It only has a trip odometer, not a speedometerI just serviced the motor with fresh oil & K&N oil filter, new NGK D7EA spark plug, new Hyperpak CDI box w/improved timing curve for more power and easier starting ($169), new OEM ignition coil ($100.31), a new clutch cover gasket (old one had a very small leak), new UNI air filter, valve adjustment, decompression cable adjustment, carb cleaning & rebuild w/new OEM internals, new chain & sprockets & new OEM replica TT tank graphics. The only things the bike is missing are the side covers and tool kit. It starts within 1-2 kicks when cold, first kick when warm, runs great, idles smoothly all day, doesn't run hot or leak a drop, goes through the gears flawlessly and has all the power you would expect from a 600cc 4 valve 4 stroke engine (and then some!). The clutch is good, brakes are good, suspension is a little soft, but not blown, the headlight, tail light & trip odometer all operate properly. Make a reasonable offer and you could end up owning this big bore beast! $250 Deposit through pay pal is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The balance is to be paid in cash upon pick up within 3 days. No checks, credit cards, money orders, bank checks, NO EXCEPTIONS. ONLY CASH WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Prospective buyers who are seriously interested are more than welcome to make an appointment to see the bike in person. I’m available Monday-Friday 9am-4pm and Saturday 9am-noon.

Here is a 1983 Yamaha xs650 street tracker I just finished. The bike started out with less than 5000 miles and has just over a 100 on build. The bike has new silver and black base clear paint(beautiful!!!!) on tank and rear fender. Bike runs perfectly. Currently is kick only but have switch if new owner wants to hook up electric start. I made the side plates or number plates out of steel and mounted a kill switch on left side plate. The bike uses original key and switch which is tucked under air filters. The bike starts easy and on the first kick. It has a lot of power and shifts smooth. Idles perfectly with zero smoke. Is a blast to ride. Also, the speedo was calibrated when built to original miles which reads under 5000. CHECK OUT MY OTHER XS650 I ALSO HAVE LISTED New: Front and rear tires Mini speedo and rpm gauges Paint Handle bars Mirrors Mike`s xs air filters headlight seat,tail light,and fender rear shocks battery Sure there is more but pics tell story My camera stinks so bike looks much better in person. Ask all questions before bidding. Buyer to pay in cash upon pickup. Will ship at buyers responsibility. If shipped, buyer to pay in full within 24hrs via Paypal..

Cycle World, June 1981Hot on the heels of Honda's CX500 Turbo, the Yamaha 650 Seca Turbo, despite its futuristic looks, was something totally different. With air instead of water cooling, four instead of two cylinders, and, interestingly of all, pressurized carbs in place of fuel injection, the blown Seca took an entirely different approach to what a turbocharged motorcycle should be.Many expressed doubts as to the durability of an air-cooled engine under duress of a turbocharger; those reservations would prove unfounded (80,000+ mile Seca Turbos that have never had major engine work or even blown a turbocharger are quite common). The pressurized carbs worked very well ("Best carbureted bike I've ever ridden" -- Bob Miller, President, T.M.I.O.A.).'82 Seca Turbos suffered from weak performance when they were initially introduced. Tired of being embarrassed by Honda CX500 Turbos in head-to-head tests Yamaha rushed out a "Power-Up" kit (free of charge!) that consisted of an inline boost pressure sensor/restrictor that fooled the turbo into thinking boost was lower than it was, and a washer that you stuck at the end of your right-side turbo exhaust muffler to increase back pressure. Both measures were designed to increase boost pressure and keep it in the cylinders longer. Peak boost went from an anemic 7 psi to a respectable 12 psi. The bad news for '82 Seca Turbo owners ('83 models came with the modification) is that Yamaha ran out of the kits in 1985. The good news is that you don't need it. Simply disconnect the vacuum hose leading to the wastegate actuator, clamp it shut, close up the hole in the actuator and experience the thrill of 14 psi. The poppet valve in the surge tank now serves as your "wastegate" to keep the engine from exploding. This also solves the problem of turbocharger wastegates failing to close, a common cause of power loss in Yamaha Turbos (blame it on the placement of the unit under the engine where it collects all sorts of road debris).The Power-Up Kit, thicker forks and a larger 5-gallon gas tank in 1983 helped sales somewhat, but a price drop to $3100 in 1984 (an '82 could be had for $2800) helped more to clear the floors of unwanted Seca Turbos. Average Seca Turbos go for $2,500-3,500. Low mileage bikes bring about $3,500 to $4,500 today. Showroom/museum examples may fetch $5,000, but Seca Turbos in such a state are extremely rare. '83 models, with their 1mm thicker forks and 1 gallon larger gas tanks bring more due to rarity and production numbers.

BOUGHT FROM A FRIEND THAT HAD THE BIKE IN INSIDE STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS. PLANNED TO CONVERT IT INTO A BOBBER STYLE MOTORCYCLE BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. I RODE THIS BIKE TO AND FROM THE TRAIN EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. ONLY 1.0 MILES AWAY. JUST BOUGHT A CAR AND MAKING ROOM IN THE GARAGE FOR CAR # 2.I PAINTED IT WITH BLACK MAT PLASTI DIP WHICH PEELS OFF EASILY. ALSO, I CHANGED THE HANDLE BARS. IF YOU WANT ORIGINAL PARTS I STILL HAVE THEM. STARTS RIGHT UP & RUNS GREAT! AWESOME ENGINEERING. Honda V65 Magna Claimed power: 116hp @ 9,500rpm Top speed: 137mph (period test) Engine: 1,098cc liquid-cooled DOHC 90-degree V4 Weight: 618lb (wet) Price then/now: $3,898/$2,000-$4,000Landmark. Watershed. Call it what you will, Honda’s 1983 V65 Magna marked a major departure in motorcycle design. For the first time, a Japanese motorcycle maker’s fastest, most powerful motorcycle had pull-back handlebars and its footpegs well in front of the seat. The Power Cruiser had been born.Sure, Harley-Davidson had been making foot-forward cruisers just about forever, and Yamaha had introduced the “special” stepped-seat, beach-bar look in the late Seventies, but it was Big Red that put serious power in the picture. The Honda V65 Magna was built around a 65ci double overhead cam V4 that delivered more than 100 horsepower to the back wheel, propelling the muscular missile to sub-11-second standing quarters at nearly 125mph.Not every pilot could pull off that party-piece, though. A 45/55 front-to-rear weight bias and laid-back riding position meant keeping the front wheel down was a challenge. And if the road threw you a curve, the lazy 30-degree rake, 63-inch wheelbase and light front end meant vague steering and a tendency to run wide. With the rider’s weight mainly butt-supported, road imperfections could jar the spine, while dialing back the fully adjustable twin shocks invited jacking from the shaft final drive. And although the thrust of the big V4 was seductive, it wasn’t all plain sailing: In city riding, Cycle magazine’s March 1983 test found a combination of too much driveline lash and under-damped CV carbs made for a “low-speed, jerk and lurch routine.” Even so, Cycle said it was the engine that was by far “the V65’s best feature, and motorcyclists who buy the V65 on looks will quickly find themselves enchanted by the 1100’s performance.” The source of this excitement was a 1,098cc liquid-cooled, 90-degree V4 with four overhead camshafts. Each pair of camshafts was driven from the center of the four-main-bearing crank by its own chain, opening four valves per cylinder at a narrow (for the time) 38-degree included angle via screw-adjustable rockers. Primary drive was by straight-cut gears using a split gear on the crankshaft to reduce lash and gear noise and a semi-slipper, diaphragm-spring clutch that allowed half of the plates to release during over-aggressive downshifting. A 6-speed gearbox (five plus overdrive, said Honda) drove the back wheel via two bevel gears and a shaft.The powerhouse breathed through four 36mm Keihin CV carbs drawing from an airbox set in a recess cut into the gas tank. This compromised fuel space, requiring a second tank hidden under the seat and fed by an electric pump. Not surprisingly, perhaps, all this performance and complexity came at a price: Ridden enthusiastically, the Magna’s fuel consumption could drop into the low 30s, and with just 4.5 gallons of fuel in both tanks (and no fuel gauge or reserve tap — just a low-fuel warning light) an unprepared rider could get caught short — including Cycle World’s April 1983 tester, who found out the hard way and had to push the big brute home.
