About this model
About the Yamaha XJ 650
The Yamaha XJ650 is a classic four-cylinder motorcycle produced from 1980 to 1985, offered in naked and half-faired variants (Turbo and Maxim). It is powered by a 653cc air-cooled inline-four DOHC engine producing around 73 hp. Yamaha also built a turbocharged version (XJ650 Turbo) producing 90 hp, one of the earliest production turbocharged motorcycles. The XJ650 was Yamaha's answer to the Honda CB650 and was known for its smooth engine and good specification.
The XJ650 appeals to riders who want a reliable, everyday four-cylinder with classic styling. It suits touring and daily use thanks to the comfortable riding position and generous range. Today it is popular with classic motorcycle enthusiasts and as a restoration project. Parts availability for the standard model is acceptable; the Turbo variant has scarce and expensive parts.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check all four carburettors for synchronisation and correct jetting; they easily fall out of balance on 40-year-old examples.
- Inspect the air-cooled cylinder fins and head for distortion and corrosion.
- Test the electrical system including the alternator output; early 1980s Yamaha alternators are prone to wear.
- Examine the frame and exhaust for rust; XJ650s often sit unused for long periods and corrosion is a genuine risk.
- On the Turbo variant (XJ650T), check turbo boost and turbocharger condition; parts are extremely rare.
