We’ve got a killer build to share with you today, courtesy of one of our community members who’s tearing up the streets of Roanoke, VA. He’s sent us three awesome photos of his Yamaha XS650, showcasing it from different angles, including a close-up of that beastly motor. Let’s dive into the details of this ride, built by none other than Slingshot Cycles.
This XS650 is built on an HWC hardtailed frame, and it’s clear from the photos that Slingshot Cycles knows their stuff. The bike is a roller/motor deal, and it’s been put together with precision and style. The hardtail frame gives it that classic chopper look, while the overall build screams modern craftsmanship.
The close-up of the motor shows off the heart of this beast. You can see the attention to detail that went into making sure this engine isn’t just for show—it’s built to perform. The clean lines and polished parts make it clear that this XS650 is ready to rip through the streets of Roanoke come springtime.
And if you’re in Roanoke, VA, keep your eyes peeled because this bike is going to be hard to miss. Our community member is already planning to take it out and about, and we can’t wait to hear about the heads it’ll turn and the miles it’ll cover.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. HWC has two more XS650s in the works, so stay tuned for more incredible builds coming down the pipeline. If they’re anything like this one, we’re all in for a treat.
So here’s to Slingshot Cycles and their fantastic work on this XS650. It’s builds like these that keep the XS650 community thriving and full of inspiration. We’ll be looking out for this Roanoke ripper on the streets, and we can’t wait to see what HWC rolls out next.
