    And there's the police model, which could very well be in Tasmania.

    These are the many reasons why a picture works best for identifying the 750.

    WELL--- then there's the 750 that looks like the 650r non-turbo

    And

    The xj750D, the fuel-Injected clone of the 650 turbo ........

    Went there and it told me it is an American XJ550 which is not correct, Australian compliance tag shows XJ750 , I think I am getting confused between American name XJ750 Seca and what is called XJ750R in Australian, does that sound right

    They are both the same thing. two different terms for the same bike… We use them interchangeably-for us The letter R designates the seca model.

    The 550 models are completely different. There is no way to confuse the two. One big difference, for example-the 550 models are chain Drive, your 750 is a shaft drive.

    For comparing:
    xj550 seca ( 550r )

    xj550 maxim

    xj750 seca ( xj750r )

    My VIN didn't tally up either when I used the dissinger site.
    I checked my vin manually and came up with an 83 650K Maxim but the site tells me it's a 80 550 Maxim :/

    Any chance you could provide me with the VIN you entered? I assume, since you both got a 550 Maxim, that it isn't recognizing something and spitting back a "default" value. Are you using the shorty one or the full VIN search?

    Edit: I actually made some changes that I thought I had before, could you try it again?
