75 yamaha *bobber* 4500 (OBO)

Let me know what you think

Hard tail, no front brake, small engine.

For the $$ you could get a gen 1 V-MAX or another Warrior.

looks cool but seems like it would be uncomfortable as ****

Seller is a little to proud of it. They are cool bikes but seller would need to come down 2k. It is not difficult to find the xs650s unrestored for much less. Then have fun making it a bober.

That's about 3 grand too rich for my blood. It is nice, but not a show stopper. As well -as Churchkey noted, it's practically unsafe to ride without front brakes. Try making an emergency stop sometime with only your back brakes. Then go back and measure how long your skid mark was.

I agree. I would love to take an old 650 and make it into a rigid bobber **WITH** a front break, but I would want to do the work myself. Nice bike but I would pass.

bullet proof engine that will vibrate, short distances ok, not sure why the asking price is so high.....

Fancy paint, but really a turd for $4500. I bet its looks get worse in person.

It is a nice toy to ride to Starbucks to pose.

Other than that it looks useless.
