Hi All...have found this site to be helpful the past few weeks,..figured I would join up today. I recently purchased [about 2 months ago] a 1986 XJ700 Maxim X, black, 23,000 miles. After taking care of a few minor issues, and today being our first really great weather day here in southwest Virginia,....I had it out for an initial 110 mile ride. Everything is great,..its a fantastic bike. I did have a 1982? XJ650 Seca I bought left-over in the mid eighties, and this bike brings back memories of that one.
Looking forward to many more miles this year, and some nice riding!

Welcome, Very nice bike you have there. .

Welcome! Good looking find. There are some great 'X'perts here. Also check out www.maxim-x.com if you haven't found that site yet.

 

you know, if it wasn't for that god-awful pillow puff design seat, that bike would be in my top 5 designs of all time!!!

 

thanks for all the compliments!........I remember these bikes when they first came out,...wasnt crazy about them at all then,....but know I really like it.

 

I am quite a newbie as well. me and my 82 maxim. welcome if we can do anything for you just shout.

 

I was just asking about these water-cooled bikes. The word is that they haul butt. Yours looks great, so enjoy!
