    Hi All,
    I have had 3 XJ650's in the past. Never lost a drag race against the larger Honda/Suzuki 750's back in the 80's. Made some money racing against Harley's whom thought my "little" bike surely couldn''t go as fast as their large mounts. Ha Ha.

    Well, I have 3 of these bikes (xj650/xj750) left but alas they are crash bikes I have not had the heart to sell, so they're in the back rustying away.

    Most xj riders I ever met were good people. So this myst be a good site, right?
    so , peace,
    michel

    Michel -

    You need to get in contact with Brad Bowen, also in the deep South of Vermont. Get to him: xj700x at netzero dot com and see if he can help you out, either helping you get three or less running bikes out of your pile of parts. He's a veritable guru on the XJs, has a stable of them & others, and can be your lifeline for the saving of those beasties.

    Best,

    I wish my wife let me have such a collection of XJs 8O.

    My previous ride was 84 Virgo 700 (twin cylinder). When I test drove my 83 Maxim 750, I just couldn't stop grinning. Man, what a difference in power from the Virago :mrgreen:
