Yamaha were the second of the Japanese "Big Four" to launch a turbocharged production motorcycle, following Honda's CX500 Turbo, and like Honda they chose to bolt the blower to an existing model - the shaft-driven XJ650 sports-tourer. With a top speed of around 125-130 mph the Turbo was an improvement on the stock XJ (115mph) but the presence of a fairing made it somewhat heavier. That fairing though, was reckoned to be one of the very best around, allowing for perfectly comfortable riding at 100mph-plus.
This XJ650 Turbo has seen just one owner since new. It has been serviced regularly and is in generally good condition. The service history comes with it.
