1979 Yamaha XS750 Triple

[focusinprogress]

This bike was part of a joint purchase between myself and Checko on here.....this one has to go.

1979 Yamaha XS750, three-cylinder. Black in color with some extras and only 31,xxx miles on it. Needs very little work.

Things we've addressed:
-carbs rebuilt
-new battery
-new oil and filter
-new plugs
-refresh the brake system

Things the previous owner added:
-de-baffled pipes (sounds damn good)
-windscreen (nice for highway riding)
-aftermarket seat (nice on the tush)
-luggage rail/backrest combo (make the lady comfortable)
-aftermarket airbox setup

Things we know it needs:
-headlight bulb (works on low beam only)
-MAYBE intake boots (runs really well but they are cracked)
-front tire is showing a little dryrot but lots of tread.

Based on current market and other for-sale ads for identical make/model/year, We are asking $1600/obo for this bike. Neither of us would hesitate to register this thing and immediately be riding it....really a good bike for the money. Clean title. Very motivated to sell. Cash talks.

on to pics:

If someone is interested, we have part of a hardtail kit (these are shaft drive so only half the kit is required, there is another xs750 in the background we hard-tailed for reference with the other half of mentioned kit).....this could be negociated into the deal. You can PM either of us about the bike, but it is located at checko's place in S.Buffalo and I have the title in my possession.

Also, video of cold start/running....(kickstarted because didn't have full charge on battery yet)

bump! $1200 is our bottom dollar, someone take this home before my XS650 ratty bobber sells for that and I buy out checko's half and keep her!

I'm also about to list my '79 xs650 drop-seat bobber.....which ever doesn't sell will stick around between the two. Pick which one I keep for me!

Bump, would trade for quality metal lathe or mill. would also trade for a ruckus or 67-72 Ford F100 pickup of equal value (missing drivetrain or non-running OK)

Willing to make up a cafe seat, mount one of my Emgo headlight fairings, and install clubman bars for a little extra if someone wants a headstart on a cafe project.

Also willing to convert it to a hardtail as Checko and I did with an XS850 recently for a bit extra if someone wants a headstart on a bobber/chopper project...

The bobber Checko and I built for reference:
