    :?: Hello I'm John42 Just joined and just bought a 1983 seca xj900 , for $900.00 the bike I'm told is in good shape but I haven't seen it in person yet,It's 750miles from me right now But my dad has seen it and rode it (and he's 72) . I found it on CL. I Know it's kinda rare in the us. But does anyone have specific knowledge of this bike and what to expect? It has been garaged most of the time but does have 47.000 miles on it.

    John, I've got one and it rides great! It's a great road bike. Feels good in the turns and I have a hard time staying below 70mph on the freeway. The xj900 USA was a one year only and they produced around 1000 bikes for us. We need to see pics of this thing!

    Wow seems like it has some miles on it... Be ready to do some maintenance. The forums here are just what you need. Chacal aka Len is the guy when you need parts and advice.

    Welcome aboard and YES send those pics.
