Yamaha XS description

This bike is a 1978 Yamaha 750 Triple and is in good running condition. As you can see in the photos it looks very nice. It does have a problem with the turn signals not always working. It has passed inspection this year. I'm selling because I bought a Canam Spyder and don't have room for both bikes. 


Please note this is a 35 year old bike so you are buying it "as is"  and without any warranty. 



This bike must be paid for and picked up within 7 days of auction close. Only a certified bank check or cash will be accepted for payment.

Japan Needs Your Help

Thu, 17 Mar 2011

By now, we’ve all seen pictures and video of the devastation in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and the ensuing tsunamis. Japan, of course, has contributed much to motorcycling, with the Big Four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, as well as tire manufacturer Bridgestone, helmet companies Arai and Shoei and many other motorcycle industry stalwarts all coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. Jon Bekefy and Greg Hatton, two motorcycle enthusiasts, industry employees  and above all, humanitarians, have set up a fundraising campaign benefiting the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.
