Yamaha Seca description

This Seca 750 was bought from the original owner in DFW area of TX and underwent a full renewal in Spring 2016. It starts, runs, shifts and stops as it should and doesn't leak anywhere. All the electrics work properly (even the cool 80's LCD "warning" checklist) and its ready to ride. Clear TX title, bill of sale and manuals will be provided. This bike has no signs of crash or tip-over damage ever and by all appearances, has led a charmed life. I'm a senior multi-bike collector/owner and I spent money on this one until its right. I'm selling to fund a classic GS Suzuki build.

The XJ series Yamahas are bulletproof and included the Secas and Maxims for many years, so parts, literature and support are plentiful and cheap. This one was low use and all intact, so last Spring I installed new: tires, tubes, oem intake manifolds, oem airbox boots, 4 carb rebuild kits, air filter, oil filter, brake pads, fork seals and ALL fluids. The seat got a professional re-cover and I replaced the fugly square stacked headlights with a round unit and windscreen, making it look a little more like the 900. New turn signals and mirrors all around assured a fresh finish.

The paint is original and faded in spots, but overall it presents well, too nice for a repaint. The exhaust system is excellent save for a small stain where the battery overflowed. I ride it as is and get lots of enjoyment from its smooth, excellent acceleration and assertive performance. It hits all the marks for a classic bike and the air-cooled, swoopy styling gets attention from old and young alike. These bikes also make excellent customs/cafe racers due to availability of 4into1 exhausts, and tank/seat combos, etc...either way, its a winner and a lot of bang for the buck!

Be sure to review payment terms above. Thanks for looking.

Yamaha Files Trademark Application for FJ-09

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Yamaha‘s next three-cylinder motorcycle may be a sport-tourer, if a recently-filed trademark application is any indication. The Tuning Fork brand filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the name “FJ-09” as it applies to “Motorcycles, scooters, three-wheeled scooters and structural parts for all the aforesaid goods.” Following Yamaha’s usual naming conventions, the signs indicate the trademark will be for a new sport-touring model using the same Triple as the FZ-09. Yamaha has made it clear it plans to introduce more three-cylinder engines following the FZ-09 (or MT-09, as it is known in Europe.) Previously-filed trademark applications for the YZF-R3 and R3 names raised speculation the next triple would be a sportbike, but as per Yamaha’s usual naming convention, the “3″ in R3 is likelier to refer to the engine displacement rather than the number of cylinders.
