Still for sale.

I'll sell you a working coil. Only $1000. It even comes with a running bike attached to it.

Keep it until spring, and you might find a buyer at that price.

That thing looks amazing though, props.

I don't want to store this thing over the winter (no garage). I'll entertain any serious offers at this point.

KBB retail is ~$1100, trade in is ~$715. This bike has way lower miles than suggested by it's age.

Still for sale.

I don't need the Xbox, but I need a controller. UFC Unleashed has pretty much TKO'd mine.

Price drop, $1000.

Sounds like he may have already been dead by the time the other hikers were able to get to the river and flag down the rafters. Either that or the Colorado River is saltwater (not sure).

I'm thinking a full set of V35 bags and a E470 top case with backrest. That included gloss paint which jacked up the cost.

Here's my bike on a trip through OH/PA/MD/WV/VA.

Rode two-up for a total of about 1000 miles.

Nelson Rigg expandable tank bag and a set of NR soft bags. I also have a NR expandable tailbag that can strap to the saddlebags and sit on the passenger seat when I'm ridin solo.

I'm debating whether I want to spend around $1200 on a full set of Givi hard luggage, plus however much to get heated grips, lower passenger pegs, and a -1 front sprocket/speedohealer.

The other option is a brand new FJR1300 =)

Up.

Bump.

I've had some interest but nothing final. Buy it now before the season is over!

Up.

Welcome, I spent my first 19 years living in Brunswick. I live in Cuyahoga Falls now, but my family and a few friends still live in Brunswick.

I'm planning a trip to Monongahela in two weeks with my Dad. I'm either going to take 250 from New Philadelphia and meet my Dad in Morgantown on Friday night, or meet him at his house in Woodbridge, VA on Thursday night, that was we can come down through the Shenandoah National Park/Skyline Drive.

My Dad has rode plenty through WV and he is a big fan. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm willing to work with the price. Also, I'd consider cash + trade if you happen to have any of the following:

Throttlemeister that fits an '08 FZ6

Heated Grips for an '08 FZ6

V35 Givi Sidecases (Black)

Corbin Oval backrest

Leather Overpants w/ easy removal side zippers (Size 32 or 34)

Ugh, definitely not my first choice of turbo. It's called an "18G" for short. If it did dyno 400hp I don't see that turbo pushing much higher.

If you get rid of that wing, the car doesn't look as bad as I expected now that I can see the pictures. Atleast the kit was installed nicely.

You're going to need to try and figured out as much as possible about the mods. No DSM'r is going to buy that for $6k without a complete mod list. Your best bet will be people like you, who aren't "enthusiasts" but just want a cool looking quick car. Ebay/craigslist/autotrader are your best bets over any of the DSM/local forums.

DSM'rs are known for being cheap asses who always shop at the junk yard before looking elsewhere. When buying car it's customary for us to insult the seller, insist that he's asking why to much, and then low ball the crap out of them.

Good luck with the sale though, it is a nice car.

If 408 horsepower is accurate it's prolly some sort of 50trim. Could be a 20g.

I've had 3 DSMs, but once I moved to bikes I knew there was no going back.

All of mine were 1g's. First one was a total POS FWD turbo laser with a few cheap mods. Second was a clean stock '94 GSX. Last one was a fairly heavily modded 16g AWD laser. Never got it tuned right before I sold it. The car had done 13.0, but only a 13.4 with me driving. It had all of the mods to do mid 12.5's with a tune.

I can't see the pictures (I'm at work) but I'm not sure I want to lol. I'd hate see a clean low mileage 2g get riced out, especially if it's actually quick.

What turbo is it running?

And Dweezel, most likely it is a GM MAF with a translator plugged in, but again, I can't see the pictures. They are pretty common whenever you want to vent your blow off for the loud "PSHHH" sound without causing other issues.

Also, as long as you are willing to make it a quick/easy transaction, I'd be willing to work on the price.

Thanks for the tip likwid.

I bought the bike in November, had it stored until spring, but bought my FZ6 in March. I haven't had any reason to ride the Maxim when I have a brand new bike.

Bike is located in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.

Asking what I paid, $1200 OBO. Pictures can be found in the craigslist ad:

1982 Yamaha Maxim 750 (XJ750)

~23,700 miles

The bike runs and drives. The mileage is fairly low considering these bikes routinely run to about 50k before having any major engine issues. Check out XJBikes.com for more info. I let me father take it on a 175 mile ride with me at the beginning of the summer, to give you an idea of the condition it's in. I am the third owner of the bike. The first owner rode it from 1982 to 2003, always taking it to a Yamaha dealer on time for scheduled maintenance, and then let it sit for 4 years before giving it to his nephew. His nephew got it back into running condition and rode it for roughly ~4000 miles over a season or two. I bought it in November, but then found a deal on a new bike, so I have barely rode it.

The bike comes with what you see attached, as well as a few uninstalled parts:

Highway Pegs

Front Fairing w/ Tall Windshield and pockets to hold things in.

A box full of random assorted parts.

The front tire is brand new, the rear one will need replaced either in spring or after a 1-2 thousand miles. I believe the battery is brand new. The brakes stop good, but the rear pedal could use some adjustment. The biggest problem the bike has is that you have to leave the choke on just a tad to keep it running. If you turn it all the way off the bike will idle really low and eventually stall after 10 seconds or so. You can turn it far enough down that it doesn't really affect the way the bike idles/revs while riding. I think this could probably be fixed with some Seafoam ran through the tank, oil, and intake.

The bike has a fairly decent amount of low end power. It feels like it has more low end torque than my 2008 Yamaha FZ6. It's a very fun bike for cruising around town. The short exhaust on it sounds great too. Throatier than you'd expect out of an inline 4 cylinder. It would make a good beginner bike or a comfortable bike to commute with. It gets mpg in the lower 40's.

If you can sell it over the winter, and have a way to tow a bike, keep an eye out for good deals before the spring rush hits.

I've still got the GS500F, great bike to start out on... but we might be trying to get my mom to try that one out. I'll let ya know

Plus its already got OR stickers on it, so that means he'll hafta join the board. haha

I learned on a 2007 GS500F. I have to agree, it is the perfect bike to learn on if you don't want to upgrade right away.
