    The Midnight is less common, and a bit nicer to look at. I never did mind the looks of the ATARI, because of all the cool features it has, but the '82 is not the sort of machine (in terms of style) that most people see and then lust after.

    looks like someone already has a xj750j so the midnight would be more wanted by someone.
    Dude, just go ahead and get it :)

    already have it polock, Im enjoying the looks of both. I might be weird but the atari is a real cool feature to me.

    When I bought my '83 XJ550 brand new in 1985, the dealer also had an "atari" equipped 750 for sale. The digital guages were a minor factor in my decision not to go with the 750.

    The "Atari" gauge cluster really caught my eye. Thought it was a very cool innovation and way ahead of most bikes on the road at that time.

    minor factor.

    the 82 is a different beast that an 83 . do I wish my 83 was a midnight yes I do have a midnight headlight holder on my 83 it is black.
    gold trim and the fancy stiched seat add to the midnight
    I do like the 82 setup with atari and handle bars would like to have seen that in a Midnight version
