I bought my XS750D 2 1/2 years ago, after sitting in a barn in Medford, OR for 15 years. It was very well preserved but not running. Once I got it home, removed the cylinder head, and the center valve was burned out. After the valve was replaced and everything polished, the head was reinstalled. The carbs were rebuilt, all fluids replaced, new points and condenser and tires, and it was ready. The bike runs like new and has the distinctive sound only a 4-stroke triple has. The 3-into-1 exhaust is rare and I had to buy another that was dent-free. Appearance-wise the bike is a 9. It has an oil cooler that was installed when the bike was young, well recommended, as the center cylinder runs hot. The seat is comfortable, and the suspension is cushy at its mildest setting with a very responsive fork. The shaft-drive is maintenance-free and bulletproof. Vibration is minimal, and the bike is comfortable. It's not a canyon racer, but not slow. Currently it has under 29,000 miles. Nothing else looks like it, even when it was new. Very satisfied with it.

These are excellent bikes, I have had no issues with mine at all, starts every time and is extremely comfortable going down the road. I would definitely recommend one to anybody looking for a bike. All around good quality and style. Only recommendation I have is to have the ecu flashed to get rid of fuel cut on deceleration.

Great starter bike for todays times. Pretty easy to handle and the mileage was about 42 to 46mpg. The starter was always a weak spot. I would like to own one again if I could find one.... read more

It's a good bike but needs more vibration free material used on engine components. Otherwise this bike overall is of excellent quality, and definitely a keeper ! One more thing, how could you go wrong with dual front brakes.... read more
