** 2021 Update - I never did take the sawzall to this scooter like I originally intended. I restored it into a mild retro/custom and still have and ride it. It is a never ending work in progress but has been a fun project over the years. **

I just bought this '79 XS650 from a loving owner who pampered it and rode it on Sunday's and kept it neatly tucked away in his garage. I painted it flat black, drilled out the pipes, re-jetted it, threw some moto bars on it and am now enjoying adding to it's 7700 original, adult ridden miles before I take a sawzall to it. Poor little guy had an easy life up until now.
