That's a really gorgeous little bike. I sure wish they made them as long as they made the XS650, 'cause there sure aren't all that many of these things out there. I like it like this a LOT. But I'd sure like to see one with polished up cases and bare alloy fins, those same exact piple in chrome or better yet titanium, etc etc etc. Awesome little bike. Two strokes went through a lot of changes, as did all bikes. But right there at the cusp of the '60s-'70s, that's where they reached their stylistic zenith. Every one of the big four lost their mojo at a certain point in time, I mean look at where they are now! Ha ha. But each of them had some gorgeous little scoots at one point in time, an aesthetic that fans of ALL Japanese bikes today should appreciate. I'd like to see the new Yammies built as an homage to these cool little twins. Damn. And people think Yamma 350, they always think RD, but it doesn't start there, it may have reached a technological point where their power suddently jumped and all of that, and later on they saw suspension leaps and bounds both in their twins and their fours, big and small. But these gorgeous little bikes ... oh man I could write romantic poetry about this shit! Ha ha. As if it weren't bad enough that I look at so much bike PORN....
