HAPPY
NEW
YEAR.
Looks like 1980 will be early this year.
Presenting the 1980 Yamaha XS650
Special. A near perfect blend of image and
performance.
Last year’s low stepped seat is even
lower this year. And merges with the sleek
teardrop tank, side covers and alloy grab-
rail to form a single, fluid, beautifully graphic
statement.
Of course, the traditional economy and
reliability of the venerable overhead cam
vertical twin are still very much around.
With dependability and performance en-
hanced this year by Yamaha’s exclusive
Transistor Controlled Ignition.
One-piece Black Shadow cast alloy
wheels. Tubeless tires. Disc Brakes both
front and rear. Five-speed, constant-mesh
transmission. Self-canceling turn signals.
New; full instrumentation console. Dual-
bulb tail/stop lamp. Beefy rear tire. Chopped
megaphone pipes.
The 1980 XS650 Special. Our own,
unique styling concept, defined and refined
as only Yamaha can.
Merry Christmas.
YAMAHA
