    Well, the bike shown is a 650rj. BUT, it's been turned into a mess.....

    Wrong engine.... should be non-YICS
    wiring nightmares
    Kph vs. mph
    Etc....

    Extra tank appears to be a modified 650rj tank

    not necessarily, many markets had RJ's in both configurations, YICS and non-YICS.

    But if you read the ad, iT says it was from the USA. That means it would be a NON-YICS engine. It ALSO means it should be a 1982, not 1984. So, there are many things not right with this. I stand by my original post.

    Also, the USA ones didn't have oil coolers.

    Of course, this all changes if the bike turns out to NOT really be a USA bike......

    Yeah especially with km/h clocks.. I suspect 'Import' got turned in to 'USA Import' somewhere down the line..
