Pretty tidy and not totally banal. Maybe a bit too shiny,but hey.

There's a lot gone into that build,hydraulic drum brake,hydraulic clutch,nickel plated frame etc
I like that,nice variation on the Yamaha 'Speedblock' & no brown seat :thumbup:

Very, very nice. The XS650 engine is a lovely looking thing and lends itself well for custom bikes.
