Yamaha XJ550 description
You are looking at a 1981 Yamaha XJ550 SECA. This is a very rare and original bike. I bought this from a owner who kept it stored in his private collection. The bike has its original paint and decals, and looks mostly unmolested to me except the seat cover, and tires. When I found the bike is was sitting for over a year. The gas was drained before it was parked. I was able to shoot a quick video of it running for the first time with just adding some power and fresh gas. I am still going to list her as a non running project. From what I saw she will need at least a new battery, and new clutch cable, before riding or running again. The bike has a clean Florida title that matches the bikes VIN. I will now let my slideshow and video I provided in the listing do the talking. You must use a regular computer or laptop to see the slideshow and video. They will not show up with apps, phones, or some tablets. Click on the view all tab at the bottom of the slideshow to see all the pictures. This is a NO RESERVE auction. No warranties expressed or implied , and a as is where is sale. Feel free to have the motorcycle inspected if you like. All sales are final, and there are no refunds or returns, and inspections are recommended. Bike comes with a clear title from previous owner, that matches the bikes VIN. Full payment is do within 7 days after the auction has ended. Buyer must also contact me within 2 days after the auction has ended to set up a time for payment and pickup. Bike must be picked up in Tampa FL. As long as the bike is paid for in full within 7 days after the auction has ended, then she can sit here for up to two months, but would like it picked up as soon as possible. Please look at all of the pictures, including the slideshow pictures, and ask all questions before bidding as I will be happy to answer them. Thank you and happy bidding!

The horrendous reality of restoring a 'classic'
Tue, 31 Aug 2010It was with much excitement – displaced or not – that my freshly rebuilt 1976 SR500 Yamaha fired into life at the second kick this weekend. I say second kick. It was actually the thirty second kick – thirty of those spent frothing up a heady sweat until I realised the main fuel pipe was kinked to buggery.
