Mai brought her XS650 into the Shed last week. The bike was designed by Mai, and built with help from Skate Interiors. The finishing touch - a scorpion sealed onto the tank.
Mai is one of the three founders of VC London, a women's riding collective. VC London ladies nights are held here every first Wednesday of the month at The Bike Shed, 384 Old Street, London, EC1V 9LT

This is a beautifully made chopper. So many good decisions on the build. Love rear end with full length sissy bar and the way the exhaust pipes rise up at the same angle. Superb.

So many small details bring together a coherent bike, Mai. My favourites from yours are (in order) 1. frame / tank / mudguard / battery box being the same light colour. 2. The pipes kicking up at the same angle as the chainstays. Would love to do an xs650 or 750 next (albeit each lending themselves to very different outcomes in my head). Great result, you must be the envy of your mates!

This has to be one of the best bikes I've seen on this channel. An absolute beauty 👍

@danielpotter8957 5 лет назад

That's beautiful. Love the lines and the scorpion is a nice touch.

XS650 engine shape is exceptional.. Very beautiful and simple

@jeffruebens8355 5 лет назад

It is a much more reliable copy of the Triumph parallel twin. They have a roller bearing crankshaft to go with their lack of a rev limiter and course mesh screen as an oil filter. Some can not live with the engine vibration, and others get used to it. I was fine with it at 60 mph, not so happy at 105 mph. Also the heat coming up from the air cooled engine roasts you at stoplights in the summer. I now have 2 liquid cooled engines, a 600cc Honda V-twin with about 30 horsepower, and a 600cc Kawasaki inline-4 with about 90 horsepower. I enjoy one on most Saturdays and the other on Sundays.

@deepwaters8248 4 года назад

Nicely thought out and well built bike, Mai seems to enjoy it and rides it like it’s meant to be , well cool

@motorcyclerider7150 5 лет назад

Amazing Bike, I have a goal of having a Chopper and a cafe racer one day, Cafe Racer is what brought me to this channel but Bikes like these are finding there way in the garage of my soul.

@tylerseely 5 лет назад

First street bike I ever rode was my Dad's 1981 XS650. When I was even younger my dad and I would get on it and go on weekend trips which were some of my best childhood memories. This is what started it all for me and now I've got my own Yamaha's an FZ6 and an MT-09 (not as classic but a total beast of a bike). Yamaha's rule!!!

@christinamoneyhan5688 4 года назад

Nice, nice ,nice. Very lean and simple. The bike matches the scorpion perfectly. Great job all around.

What an amazing person. I was just thinking about a resin cast back hump on cafe racer build. Now I know how I'm going to fill out a small dent in the tank. You rock

@dannyb20vtec28 5 лет назад

These bikes are so damn fun to build, I have a 79 xs . Full ground up build. Springer front end and custom hardtail.. almost finished with the build. Going big bore on it. Bad ass, her chop looks great, period correct, fresh out of the 70’s chopper

@MayheM_72 Год назад

I fell in love with the XS650 back when AWOL magazine was giving a red chopped one away back in the early 90s. You get the basic air cooled, unit construction, vertical twin like a classic Brit bike, but with Japanese price amd reliability. I'd love one with lowered rear shocks, solo seat, forward controls, updated carbs/exhaust/cam/ignition, some mild head work, and a big bore 750 kit. (I'm a big boy, at over 300lbs, so it's not just for insane speed!)

@SuperCody1124 4 года назад

Great choice of bike to convert I owned and luved my XS650 great engine and motorcycle in general. also handled great , hope you were able to keep that in your hard tail conversion . Bravo SIS looks awesome

I LOVE your bike! The fact that you helped with the design and build is really impressive. I'm not say this because you are a lady, girls can build choppers as well as any man. However, you are one of the few that does build. I wish you much success and ride free! :)

Turned out really nice. I agree about how nice your bike was stock but hey it's your machine. There's a bunch of those bikes around so you did good. Your old parts can go toward keeping an old stock bike going.
