|  classic, standard, sport tourer well, i consider this a standard but it does have 26yrs on the clock and 17K on the meter... i just picked it up yesterday. it joins my 1981 Yamaha Maxim 550 (XJ family).. 1982 Yamaha Seca 750... about $1200.00... its got a few little dings on the tank but nothing major. the previous previous owner had a split in the vinyl seat so he glued a piece of naughahyde over the top. it needs to have a little bit of contact cement put back on it where its come loose on the edges. it starts right up even in sub-freezing weather (WTH is going on here? its nearly april first!)...    ill think up some paint scheme for later in the year. right now im too interested in putting some miles on it and not letting it sit while the paint dries...

| if you get the seat recovered, check around if they can put a material called "coal crack" on it. It's black material and is primarily used for snowmobile seats. It also doesn't get near as hot as the original material, which i don't quite understand as it is still black. Bike looks in good shape, you also have a fog light (the 2nd headlight) although I never was a big fan of square headlights. and being a 750 seca, when the engine hits around 4 - 5 k, the bike will accelerate FASTER. Quite a bit faster, drove one a couple of times.
