Dude.. You don’t have to prove yourself to the jackasses that live on the internet. I’m glad you made the video though just to show what a stock bike sounds like.
yeah i know the guy that said it wont even comment on the video lol thanks for the comment.
Kudos…They do start fairly easily when they are tuned…Good looking bike…
thanks; i bought it for 400 dollars. it didnt run and need new tires.
Mines a first kicker every time when its cold. Even when it’s been sitting for acouple weeks. Great bikes……what did the guy say that made you post this?
just some stupid stuff about how i didnt have one and even if i did i couldnt kick it.
Skoro jest zimny to dotknij językiem rury wydechowej
what language is that?
Looks Polish…
dude awesome man. love that you put the video up and totally owned that shit talker from that other video! Respect
lol i know right stupid shit talkers need to get a life
kick ass i have a 74 ohc650 and it will start on one kick too, kisk ass
vintage=only way to go
good for you that you can kick it, and i’m not talking shit about you. you did start the shittalking about that little asian guy who couldn’t kickstart his xs chop. if you’d have bothered to look up his other vids you would’ve seen you were wrong. but then it became just another stupid youtubefight.
anyhow, nice bike, hope you enjoy it a lot. i hope to get my hands on one of those soon.
the little asian guy still needed to either tune his carbs or learn to get a full kick on it. his bike was ugly neways
Beautiful bike! I had an ‘81 XS650 Special II but I really think the mid-70s models were the prettiest.
Thanks! I love this bike; its a fun ride and it gets attention anytime I’m near an older biker who knows what it really is. thanks for the comment
