1983 Yamaha XJ900 (Seca) for sale

[Mark Hubert]

Emotionally I don't want to sell this bike. I love it. 

It's the best bike I've ever owned. Fun as hell..... 

But, rationally I have to.

So I posted it to the good folks of ChiVin - email me off list if you are interested.

Awesome sport touring bike. I've always liked the 900 Seca. I've
always loved that tank-to-seat transition. Nice lines and plenty of
power. Someone will enjoy this bike. Alas it is far too modern for
my collection.

I once did something similar with a CB1100F I used to own. I put
Hondaline pebblegrain hard bags and a trunk on it from a 1980
Goldwing. I had to modify the mounts but I thougt it was a sweet
sports-tourer. I have pictures somewhere.

Cheers.

It really is a great bike...

I forgot to mention that I rigged a laptop suspension system in one of the saddle bags using an old bike inner tube.
