Welcome to the YAMAHA
XS650 Club of Australia Inc. (NSW)
Like us, you
obviously have an appreciation for what must
be the most bullet proof, easy to maintain, and
fun to ride motorcycle ever made.
The club brings together a group
of like-minded people which makes owning and
riding an XS that much more enjoyable, thus
helping to preserve this classic machine.
There are several club rides per
year and, depending on your location, perhaps a
few will pass your way. Imagine a sunny day, the
open road, and a group of 650s filling the air
with that unmistakable sound we love so much.
Even if you can't join our club
rides, all members receive a bi-monthly newsletter
packed with info and tips on restoration,
modification, parts sources, etc. We currently
have members in every state of Australia and there
may well be others living near you. As well, we
also correspond regularly with 650 Clubs overseas
and together, we'd number well over 1,000. We also
enjoy a generous discount on parts at several
dealerships.
Among our membership are
pristine examples of every model, as well as
choppers, flat-trackers, road-racers, customs,
etc. Some of our members are painters, mechanics,
electricians, and machinists. Several have huge
stocks of parts for sale or swap. Between us,
we've done everything one can do to an XS, be it
concourse restoration or heavily modified.
Membership is open
to those who own, or are at least looking to buy,
any year or style of XS650.
