FS:  1982 Yamaha 650 Heritage Special (XS650SJ), Near Mint Condition

You won't be disappointed in this one.  Except for some wear on the
front brake rotor, this motorcycle looks like it just rolled off the
showroom floor.

This is not a restored motorcycle.  It is all original except for
battery, hydraulic brake hoses, tires and tubes which I replaced 3
years ago.  (I still have the original brake hoses, tires and tubes
with mfg dates on them).  It is in perfect condition, the closest to a
new 1982 motorcycle that you will find.  None of the rubber or other
parts that tend to deteriorate show their age.  I keep a battery
tender on it and use synthetic motorcycle oil.  It starts right up,
runs and rides perfectly.  No problems at all.  I just don't have the
room to keep it.  I've had it for nearly three years, obtaining it
with just 1200 miles on it.

This motorcycle could either be ridden or kept in present condition
for show.  I haven't shown it but I've had many people tell me that it
is in such remarkable condition that it surely would win best in class
if shown.

650cc parallel twin with lots of low-end torque and nearly
indestructible engine by reputation.  Electric and kick start.  An
improvement over the British parallel twins with a better electrical
system and no engine leaks.  Yamaha's best selling model for 7 years,
being replaced by the 4 cylinder in-line models.

Beautiful black and chrome with wire wheels and painted black fenders

$2650 , only 2175 original miles.

I can deliver up to 100 miles, longer distances are negotiable.
