ReconRat Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) NADA trade-in prices (not showing dealer retail due to all the work required):1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim 650 Value:$585There's a something R after the XJ650 on the sign.It's not an "R". Those had low bars, different tank and side cover. And were called Seca.Cool 80s bike though. The Maxims were very popular.edit: Well ok, $985 is what it would be, used condition from a dealer showroom. After all that stuff was fixed.

OsuMj Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 looks like a third grader made that sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 The older Yamaha's aren't bad bikes. I just don't like the handle bars on them. They go almost in a circle, if that makes sense. I would have to get different bars, i like mine more straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like on a 1974 Norton Commando 850R (Roadster). Which was pretty much the first production bike I remember to have pull back handlebars like that. They were surprisingly comfy to use on the road.

I'm very picky about bars on a bike lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
