Yamaha XS650 Special

During one of my periodic de-cluttering exercises I have come across a
Yamaha advertising leaflet for the XS650 Special (in a nice plastic
sleeve).

I cannot believe I acquired it, even in one of my more fevered moments,
so it may belong to someone here. In which case, shout and you can have
it back.

Alternatively if anyone else wants it, and the owner remains quiet, then
they can have it.

On the third hand, it's going in the bin.

I'm sure it'll wipe off.

One of those for a Z1 sold for >$1800 on Ebay a few years back.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Wicked Uncle Nigel

If it's not, and nobody else claims it - bung it my way, as I have one
of the beasties.

I have a vague memory of it, supplied by Tog.

BTW the same bike will be disposed off this summer.

As will a certain RD
