    the yamahas are not getting ridden much, hell who am i kidding, they dont get ridden AT ALL...

    they are all for sale. the 750r has new dyna coils on it :mrgreen: and will have a newer battery. the 900r is RARE RARE RARE. did i mention that there are less than 1,000 that were EVER IMPORTED making it RARE?! :mrgreen: the 550 maxim is just a nice smooth great looking xj with some custom paint...

    Looks like a real "Fun Package" Elle-Tee.

    Very nice; indeed.

    Wow.

    (I'm with you on the XJR)

    Dave, you're getting old. We forgive you.

    Seriously though, if I could get ahold of an '05 XJR1300 I would probably sell off (or give to my children) everything but the Norton.

    I'll bet the 'Wing is gonna be a hoot to do any sort of maintenance on. Nice rig though. Enjoy!

    Other than perceived low sales, any other real reason they didn't / wont let us Yanks have xjr1300s?

    This Article, ... "Taking America For A Ride" ... by Economics Graduate Student, Daniel Klien, ... published back in the day when our Bikes were still new, ... will give you an idea about what is at the Central Core of Tariffs, and Protectionism that keeps the doors closed to some Bikes and other conveyances sold ELSEWHERE, ... but NOT in the U.S.A.

    I had a racing green zrx was a nice bike put galpher ss lines steering stabilizer jet kit and the muzzy header plus handlebars was mint all the stuff the original elr had. Sold it when i started having foot problems. The ss lines made the front brakes the nicest feel out of all the bikes i ever had.
    Would love to have a gw like that two wheeled ones are just to big for me but the price factor rules that out. A new gw trike is 33k half as much as i paid for my first house in fl and it had a built in screened in pool lol nice rides

    That kwacker just says ride me.
    Great looking combo, Lt, a whole different riding experience.
    You gotta thin out the bikes, or you're forever charging batteries, how do I know this.
