xs650.com
My friend helped me with the CB650, it was actually his bike. I did 80% of the work. We were told you couldnt make a hardtail with a shaft drive. Once the naysayers spoke, we were out to prove them wrong. We rode it up to Laconia bike week and it got a lot of attention. Mostly from Hardley guys. They would look at it and give a thumbs up, then walk over to the bike and realize it was a Jap bike and walk away. I hate when people do that. I respect any bike worthy of respect. Doesnt matter the make. You should of saw the faces of people when they saw this nice bobber, but heard a sport bike. It was priceless.

your damn right they dont. its cause that bike was called the widow maker for a long time. (remember the honda two stroke 250 3 wheeler? awesome machine). another ()... remember when the R1 first hit the market?!?!? yamaha has a penchant for amazingly powered bikes out the gate.
what a killer machine twin 350 two stroke that banshee is. air cooled no less. toomey pipes, light as shiz, and fast and furious as you ever want to be STOCK even. quite possibly the most appropriate named machine on the planet.
PURE balls. we see them all day long on CL here. alcohol burning dune killing machines. they still reign supreme on the sand. where else will you find a 20 year old machine that sells for 3 times its original purchase price other than a VW (insert model here).
some things are left un-repeatable. i almost bought one but bought a yfz450 instead. a killer quad in its own regard. but alas, i just wasnt comfortable on 4 wheels, beat my arms to death. but have much respect for the dune warriors that do.

just wait until i drop another $20k on her. 23" front, apes, powder coat, PM controls. ill turn that beast into a beauty.
she will have exactly as many miles as it takes to get her home before i ride her without all the upgrades. i got my other chop until she comes around.
ps. my chop is better than JR's.

Cool bobbers.
Bob, I wish! I can only take credit for writing the check for that one! ...All of the parts were brushed by Sonny DePalma down in Ft Lauderdale. My pictures suck but his work is just fantastic.
I am bringing the bike back to FL in March for Bike Week Daytona. I am sad to say, I'm selling it (along with a bunch of other stuff) in an attempt to make some much needed room in my shop up here.
