Description
Some machines take you straight back to the beginning of an era. This 1970 Yamaha 650 XS1 is one of those rare icons. As one of Yamaha’s first large-displacement four-stroke twins, the XS1 marked the brand’s entry into the big bike segment.
Finished in its classic green and showing 35, 451 kilometers, this example stands out thanks to its matching numbers, meaning the engine and frame still belong together as originally delivered. The paint has been redone at some point, giving it a fresh and well-presented appearance while maintaining its authentic feel.
With Dutch registration ZM-43-66 and Dutch paperwork, this is an honest and appealing classic for enthusiasts and collectors alike
At VintageMotorcycles. nl, we believe in full transparency, every bike is sold in the condition it’s in at the time of sale.
Some still wear their original tyres or brake lines, while others have already been updated. If you’d like additional work such as a service inspection, new tyres, or replacement brake lines, that’s always possible at an extra cost. This way, you decide how original — or how ready — your next classic should be.
