    Hmmm... Maxima you say? Curious but I'm betting you are more interested in showing her a Maxim perhaps. Did you get any info on what size it is? I'm not up on the different types but I'm sure a little more info will help us get you the best picture/information possible.

    Hey ridz!

    What's the result of looking at the bike? What did you see? Was it a Maxim?

    Did she buy?

    ridz,
    Do you watch craigslist?There is almost always a xj or two in KC,or Omaha.
    I check it every day or two I'll give you a heads up if I see anything.
    There is a XS 850 that looks good in pics in KC for 1200,its been there a month or so might be worth looking at and making a offer.
