Big Moon's Little XS650
By Anthony van Someren - 12 Dec 12
This 650 is lovely. We seriously dig the metallic paint in Yamaha's retro block design and logo. There are also some nice handmade parts from the rear-sets to the side-mounted plate holder (not seen one quite like this before) and the low indies are a nice touch.
Big flakes were a must-have when they mixed the paint. Nice work on that plate mount and rear light array.
Drilled foot controls and brackets are more 70s race-rep than scrambler, but they look cool.
Quality stitching on the seat. Looks comfy too...
The rider's eye view.
Overall it's a lovely little ride. We'll keep an eye on these guys and post up with anything else that catches our eye.
