Good one Dave, I'm not going to give it away, for me too easy, I used to sell and service them for a living.

 

[DaveM]

lol Well I thought it was going to be easy

 

[keystiger]

I'll try
1978 Suzuki GS400?

 

[DaveM]

Nope not that one

 

[keystiger]

Dang....................

I remember well when these were first reported in 1968 and available in Australia in 1969 they were said to be a real TRIUMPH for Japan . I'd say your photo is from 1974 or 5 depending on your country?

I nearly purchase one of them in the early 80's because of that just after I sold my Bonnie.

Production 1968–1985 so I won't be looking for the exact year of this one

 

[CarlS]

It looks a lot like my Yamaha TX-650 except for the pipes.

 

[DaveM]

You are sooo close

 

[keystiger]

1972 Yamaha XS-650 (AKA XS1)

 

[DaveM]

Good going your shot

O.K. might be an easy ones for the folks here in the U.S. but maybe a little harder for those abroad. VERY "beloved" bike manufacturer here in the south. If only for its name.
