Title: XS650 - Cutaway engine
Post by: Tony oily bike on December 26, 2016, 12:03:59 PM
Found this for sale on ebay - a XS650 engine that's been cutaway/sectioned.

Have seen many sectioned engines in the past, but this is the first XS650 one I've come across.

Auction finishes 26 Dec, just before 5.30 pm, and sarting price is £1250
