    Red 1982 Seca 550.
    It's been sitting since 2010. It was inside for 4 years and for 2 of those years it was outside but covered.
    It ran when I parked it but I fired it up the next year and it was leaking gas (again) from the carbs. I replaced the o-rings the year before.
    The original fuse block was broken so I put another one in but I didn't do a very good job so that should probably be redone.
    Other than that it ran perfectly in the short time I had it on the road.
    20649 miles
    Right front turn signal is broken.
    Right side exhaust has a couple dings in it.
    I loved this bike but I haven't had a place to work on it for a while and now I'm moving so I have to let it go.
    I would like to get $750 CAD for it, but am open to offers, and would like to see it go to a loving home. It's been neglected for far too long.
    The bike is located in Victoria BC Canada.
    Any questions feel free to ask.

    I'm just across the straight in Tsawwassen
    I'm guessing by the speedo it was a US bike?
    Do you have current regi for it?

    The KM scale is on there. You just need bifocals :)

    Can't stand bifocals and it just looks wrong
    Did the US government really think that you would ride any slower?
    Once I am riding fast I don't look at the speedo, just a glance at it to see how big the ticket might be!!;)
    Only ticket I received south of the 49th was in Oregon, 85 in a 55 zone $98.50

    Sadly I just sold this to someone locally. I'm definitely going to miss this bike.
