Yamaha XJ900.

Known as the Seca 900 here in the U.S. and one of my all time favorite UJM’s. (Universa Japanese Motorcycles) of the 70’s / 80’s. This is an excellent example from the ADV Rider site.

Here in the stock colors.

First ride today on the KZ650/750 hybrid! Sorry but I gotta gloat!

She runs like a scalded dog. Handles like she “planted” in the turn and if she was a singer that Kerker would be Pavarotti! Only downside is that I think I have a small head gasket leak from the high compression of the 650 head on the 750 juggs. No biggie really. I’m getting the hang of wrenching on this thing. Still a wee bit of jetting work to be done but it’s pretty close as is for a frankenbike with 900 carbs/pods/kerker.
