Yamaha Seca description

This Seca 750 was bought from the original owner in DFW area of TX and underwent a full renewal in Spring 2016. It starts, runs, shifts and stops as it should and doesn't leak anywhere. All the electrics work properly (even the cool 80's LCD "warning" checklist) and its ready to ride. Clear TX title, bill of sale and manuals will be provided. This bike has no signs of crash or tip-over damage ever and by all appearances, has led a charmed life. I'm a senior multi-bike collector/owner and I spent money on this one until its right. I'm selling to fund a classic GS Suzuki build.

The XJ series Yamahas are bulletproof and included the Secas and Maxims for many years, so parts, literature and support are plentiful and cheap. This one was low use and all intact, so last Spring I installed new: tires, tubes, oem intake manifolds, oem airbox boots, 4 carb rebuild kits, air filter, oil filter, brake pads, fork seals and ALL fluids. The seat got a professional re-cover and I replaced the fugly square stacked headlights with a round unit and windscreen, making it look a little more like the 900. New turn signals and mirrors all around assured a fresh finish.

The paint is original and faded in spots, but overall it presents well, too nice for a repaint. The exhaust system is excellent save for a small stain where the battery overflowed. I ride it as is and get lots of enjoyment from its smooth, excellent acceleration and assertive performance. It hits all the marks for a classic bike and the air-cooled, swoopy styling gets attention from old and young alike. These bikes also make excellent customs/cafe racers due to availability of 4into1 exhausts, and tank/seat combos, etc...either way, its a winner and a lot of bang for the buck!

Be sure to review payment terms above. Thanks for looking.

1.5litre V8 two-stroke

Thu, 21 Apr 2011

I don't know about you but I've yet to ride anything with two wheels and an engine that I didn't enjoy in one form or another. From minimotos to 1800 Goldwings, there's always some fun to be had even if it is just the novel experience that makes you grin. I am not one for a pidgeonhole, that's for sure.

Behind the scenes in Qatar

Sat, 19 Mar 2011

Just because you have the name Jorge Lorenzo on your screen and you've won a world championship doesn't mean you'll get an easy time at scrutineering. In Qatar the technical inspection staff made the factory Yamaha mechanics remove bodywork and unbolt some electrical components in order to get a better look at the guts of the 2011 M1. Everything was in order of course but what a great opportunity for the scrutineers to exercise their power and have a poke around the most high tech Yamaha on the planet.
