    I'll always know what you did last summer.

    Appears to be an XJ Maxim. Not sure what size.

    Anyone else?

    Isn't the XJ in the Road Warrior movie? Or maybe it's Mad Max - I don't remember which movie - the second one - where in the end he drives the tanker truck filled with sand. Not the first one with the entire biker gang - that was before The XJ's time.

    I'm not positive because I haven't seen the movie this year but I'm pretty sure that in Real Genius the bike that Ick is riding is a Maxim.

    Oh well! I guess I'll have to go watch my 80's movies again! :wink:

    I'm going to have to go back and slow-mo the scenes to be sure because I can't find a pic online.

    You can tell it's a Beemer because of the flying brick.

    There was a Seca Turbo in one of the 007 movies.

    I thought the bike 007 rode -in For Your Eyes Only -while chasing Fatima Blush was a turbo bike.
    One of my favorite 007 flicks. I'll have to watch again.

    So I just caught a movie with a 650/750 Maxim in it! 1993/1994 "The Dark" - Stephen McHattie plays Gary 'Hunter' Henderson - who rides a Maxim!

    Cool....

    You are mixing your movie metaphors! Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera) was one of the "free radicals" being chased by 007 (the return of Sean Connery) on an extensively modified XJ Turbo in "Never say Never again."
