PRICE REDUCED: $2,000


Okay guys, Its still a yamaha. I dont need the bike anymore as the Fz is a dream for me and I love it soo much I just dont ride the seca anymore. It has brand new tires front and back I put on this year so maybe 50 miles on them tops, always had synthetic oil run in it. This baby is SHAFT drive....so it shifts super smooth. I changed the shaft oil in it each oil change, and so did the previous owner. Has a brand new deep cycle gel battery with 5 year warranty through batterys plus. I am the second owner of this rig, the original owner was an Executive at ING here in st. cloud and drove it two miles each way back and fourth to work. Carbs all redone, Lucas synthetic oil, lucas shaft drive oil and it runs like a dream I kid you not.

The best part is: ONLY 3,632 miles on it...original!

This baby has a Yoshi full 4-1 header exaust system, upgraded grips, and has a full computer system that goes over more system checks than cars!


Im going to put this on craigslist for $3,000 but I hope to walk away for $2200. To you guys instead of even starting at the $3000, Ill throw it out right away for the $2200. Price is pretty firm as this is really rare. I will entertain reasonable offers including trade for gear/mods/cameras With cash...ect

If you know anyone looking please forward them! This makes a great first bike as well, its amazing and has everything up to date and all services done. I have service history as well!

Not at all crazy! This bike is beautiful! :thumbup:
 
I had an 82 Yamaha Maxim 750. Same motor, just different motor

I LOVED that bike. I definitely liked it for different reasons than the 6R. Absolutely not crazy for wanting this bike...Not a bad price for the condition and mileage. I would go for it if I had the cash and lived a little closer...

Ill meet you half way FZ :) Good reason to meet ya in person! :thumbup: Yes the maxim was the cruiser style and a few different features, but same engine and drive train from my understanding, impeccable bike!

Dj Ill be honest....$13 a month haha I know its pretty high, and you know...tabs were $28 for the year. Not to mention it gets the same mileage as the Fz. I love the bike but it just doesnt get enough ride time. I wax it once a week to make sure she knows I still love her when she sees me swing my leg over the fz haha. DJ if your interested, PM me and we can talk

This baby was the premium bike of its day no joke, look up some reviews. It was fast, powerful, and handles like a dream.

Here is some more info for you all that may be interested via cycleworld magazine first ride review in 1981

Happily, the Seca 750 gets great mileage—54.9 mpg on the Cycle World mileage loop, a mixture of city, country and highway riding—so encounters with the hyperactive low-fuel-level warning system are punctuated by long miles of warning-free riding. Test bikes are ridden at close-to-legal speeds on two laps of the 50-mi. mileage test loop, but even at extralegal speeds the Seca gets good mileage. Mixes of 85-mph blitzing and 65-70 mph cruising on open-country roads typically yielded 39-41 mpg, and the tank that included 85 miles at full throttle on a road racing track out of a total of 107 mi. still gave an average of 27 mpg.

The Seca 750's anti-dive keeps the forks from compressing all the way when the brakes are used. If the front wheel hits a bump during braking, the anti-dive valve comes off its seat and the forks respond normally to the bump, using the available extra travel. As a result, the front tire doesn't bounce off the ground, doesn't lock while in mid-air and screech upon landing, and the rider has better control and doesn't have to release the brakes while still coming into the corner.The Seca's cornering clearance, even with stands installed, is excellent. The point where the footpegs start to touch and the edge of the tire tread are well matched, and there's enough room left beyond that point to accomodate a better set of tires.

The dragstrip times indicate that the Seca has good power. But it makes that power at high revs, pulling strongest between 7000 rpm and the 10,000 rpm red-line. On the street, in the city, the Seca is happy to be shifted at 5000 rpm. On the racetrack or even being run hard on a twisty road, it demands rpm at all times.
 
Bump to the top....$2,000 to any forum member!
