    Best looking available in the US? Seca 900----hands down. What's not to like??? Even after 25 years it still looks good. The true test of beauty.

    Yes, I also didn't buy my Seca for it's looks. I thought it was butt ug-a-ly but I got it at a couldn't-turn-it-down price, so I bought it to tinker with. Oh I guess all the manufacturers had their own ideas on what peploe liked at the time and what would sell. But to me Yamaha missed the mark with the Seca. Give me a Maxim anyday.

    Yes Zookie,
    Mine was originally a Seca. I rode it with a Vetter fairing on it for one season (just to work) and found I didn't like the seating position and the over all looks at all. I did however like the fairing for those cold mornings with the radio in it. It made the ride to work alot better (35 miles)
    This is the bike before I tore into it:

    Here's what it looked like last year before I put the Sportster seat and saddlebags on it:

    Is it just me or are people voting on bikes they own? :)
    I am definetly not a fan of the XJ750 Seca. I have one and I'm going thru every attempt to change it's appereance. My favorite will have to be a CAFE 82 XJ650 SECA.

    Toss up between a 900 and 650 Seca. There was a naked 900 for sale in Germany that looked beautiful.

    900 in a 650 chassis would be the best of all.

    Ugliest has to be the Turbo, with the 750 not far behind.
