    I would buy one of those. I see them in the UK but they look different from your machine. Must have a lot of low down power.

    I bought it from a former student of mine. She wanted to sell it so she could buy a bigger bike—— lol.

    she’s a neighbor a few mi away, and knows I am into the xj scene. She let me pay it off in increments as xj parts sold and xj repairs/service were done, so it was bough and paid for via xj’s:)

    Question for @hogfiddles - you don't have to answer of course, but I'm curious if you have a plan - long or short term, for all your bikes? I can see you do some buying, selling and repairs, but you do have a lot of xj's, and none of us is going to be here forever...
    I have a tiny collection, just two whole ones and a 900 in frame and engine only, so I'm an amateur at this.

    That makes perfect sense, gives you control as well as something to do.

    Garage?

    Lost use of my late father's garage when the family home got sold after his passing. At that point, I had 85 1200 naked Yamaha Venture, 81 Honda CB900C with a late 70s CB750 for parts, and a 75 Yamaha TX500 hardtail bobber project bike. Had to give up all but the Venture which someone is buying off me so I can replace it with an 83 XJ750 Maxim (bit smaller, so will be easier on my bad legs that have some vascular issues)

    All the rest of my stuff (about 85% is vintage pro audio equipment) is currently soaking me for monthy rent on an 8x16 storage unit

    1983 XJ750 Maxim (running plated work in progress)
    2007 Suzuki S83 wife wanted me to get it because she didn't trust the Maxim. It went on the credit card spur of the moment purchase my birthday, best present ever.
    2006 Yamaha WR250F great play/trail bike
    2004 Kawasaki Mule father in law sold the cottage got it for free but just takes up space.
    1967 Arkansas traveler boat with a 1980 30hp Evinrude( huge work in progress)

    Got to get a bigger garage too many bikes that I want and the neighbors hate the old boat sitting in the driveway.
