    Are you sure? Like, sure sure?
    You will miss her...
    I only had my Seca for a couple of years, never even rode it, definitely wasn't the only owner, and I still miss her. Did I mention that the new owner put on pods?

    Playing the devil's advocate, good luck with the sale.

    I am seeing what interest there is, if any at my price point.....

    I will keep my Maxim if I don't get what I want for it......my Xj is pretty much restored.......

    Is it in mint, like new, or excellent condition....no...but it is in very good condition.....so will see if it sparks interest in anyone.....

    That test drive on the Honda VT1800F snapped my neck back.......pure muscle......awesome bike......

    1800 cc... The fastest car I built was 1800 cc! Can't imagine how hard it would pull with 2500 less pounds!

    Dave,

    Thank you for your thoughts.

    Just wanted to mention that this bike was first purchased in Colorado in '82 and then transferred to California in '85.....

    Always garaged most of the 35 yrs......so this bike is not weather beaten......in other words.....no corosion going on.

    Seeing as how the Honda engine is 2.4x larger than that of the Maxim, I would think so. :) My cars have smaller engines.
