    All three of the ones I'm building are '85. Well, maybe I should correct that---
    2 are 1985.

    1 is a 198? No frame number or tag.

    Currently have an '85 750 that I imported from Ontario Canada a few years back that has ton's of mods and upgrades. Currently at 48K miles (corrected from the original kilometers).

    Had an '85 700 with 11K miles which I sold locally. (Not sure if it's around?) Invited the buyer to join here but as far as I know he didn't.

    Parted out an '85 700 (with unknown mileage) and an '86 700 with 16K miles.

    Roadripper: What number does you're engine code start with? Is it 1MY (750cc) or 1NW (700cc)?

    So I'll ask another way.....

    Roadripper, I see you're located in Canada. The Canadian models were 750cc and the US spec models were 700cc.
    Which one do you have?

    I currently only have one, so therefore I only voted once.

    Why do I have to click "view results" when I'm logged in ( and am a "Premium Member"), but can see the results posted when I go to the forum as a surfer NOT logged in?

    There's one for SnoSheriff..... Lol

    I don't have an answer for you. It's exactly the opposite for me.

    looking at the votes it appears that the Maxim X is very rare

    I've wondered how many 750-X's were actually made and if they were sold anywhere but Canada?
    If it's Canada only then the numbers would be quite low.
