another CL optimist

just a lazy soon to be PO

 

I'm not sure I've experienced this, I feel I'm missing out on something wonderful.

 

Naw, it’s what happens when you bounce off the seat on your hot fenderless bobber and land on the rear wheel. It’s the tire not the tranny doing the transfer.

 

depends on how hard that gear box grabs you. then they are dragging on the ground to after going through the gear box

 

I’ve made up funny ads before to catch attention when selling something(usually a cub cadet). This ad tho takes the cake. And it still has the air box. Maybe he didn’t have time to customize it into a 4-1 pod

So, what are you saying about all the other vehicles you've owned?

Nice looking Seca 750. Looks mostly original except for the exhaust. Bit pricey though.

That year is pretty rare... Only 601 came to Canada, 286 to Australia. I dunno if that justifies the price though.

Also, is the purple Demon for sale too?

 

From the Information Overload Hour:
XJ750 engine in an XJ900 frame. Only 601 made for the Canadian market. Engine actually displaces 749cc (1cc larger than standard XJ750 models, which were only 748cc's) and uses a hotter exhaust cam, larger (+1,00mm) intake valves, different crankcase, cylinder jugs, and pistons/rings, the XJ900 type clutch assembly and middle gears set, as well as the strengthened 2nd gear set as used in the XJ650 Turbo, XJ750-X, and XJ900 models. Similar but not quite identical to the 1984 Australia-only XJ750RL (45T model). It has been noted that all the Red/Silver XJ750RL models (Canada) seem to have black motors while the Blue/White models (Australia) have silver motors.

 

i want one...

Here's a neat little "Maximum"

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-street-crui...um/1339320692?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

 

a little steep on the price even for Canadian dollars run around 400 to 600 on CL in New England

 

I saw a CL ad a few months back that was asking $16k for a 2003 Triumph Thunderbird 900 (Hinkley Triple). A few weeks later he almost came to his senses and dropped it to $8999. They typically go for between $2200 and $3000. I don't think it's sold yet.....

 

Tried to upload video but disallowed via file extension - it runs. Seca 750 - no title. If anyone needs parts I will go get it tomorrow.

 

you could just get a title from Vermont they allow out of staters to register motorcycles and cars by mail.

vin check by local sheriff bill of sale and a check for the tax and reg. plates and title arrive in the mail

 

Just read that thread - this is cheeky. I like it. Just read that thread. So..will the forks swap over to the 550?

 

I recommend getting just the VT registration then doing a reg transfer to your own state. It is easier. (I got a MA title for my bike that way)

 

I'd be in the market for turn signals and mufflers depending how they look....

 

I have requested this information from the current seller - maybe we can switch over to conversation for all else sanity.

And here is another one

I like the red ones I guess

https://eauclaire.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1982-yamaha-750-seca/6534101764.html

 

That one is over the top...must have something special....

The other one in IL with the full dress is NICE....

 

700 miles is the claim on the odometer bike has not even been broken in ..............

 

I do know the XS series of bikes prices have gone high but
https://potsdam.craigslist.org/mcy/d/xs1100-special-two-bikes/6535155212.html

 

Based on what I'm seeing..... If he removed one of the "0" the price would probably be ABOUT correct for the pair....... Reading between the lines the Red one hasn't been driven in 2-years so that's a $750 bike (at best) that can't be taken for a test drive and although I'm sure it hurts the guys feelings the other is a $500 bike (at best), even though what remains looks to be in good condition. I also wouldn't take anyone's word for "Frame is Ok" these frames are VERY fragile and under-built for the huge motor. Any accident that would completely destroy the front end and smash the forks in the headers he mentioned were damaged would make me very suspicious of the frame. The clean titles are the reason I'd be looking at them if they were in my neighborhood assuming the correct asking price is $1200.00
