    I was given a '81 Maxim 650.
    This will bring back the days of when I first started to learn.
    Plus it will slow me down.
    My other bike is an 06 Suzuki Hayabusa.

    Here are the current pics of the Maxim.(it needs work)

    this will significantly slow you down if you normally ride a Hyabusa!!

    The maxim doesn't look all that bad, just some repainting and polishing. Does it run at all?

    A very walm welcome to you, Bokey. Seem's you already are in progress of cleaning it up a little. although it does look pretty well in the 1st pic posted but u know there always is a possibility of improvement, especially considering the age of our bikes.

    Besides, i hope that engine roars as good as it looks. :)

    Howdy Bokey, looks like your headed in the right direction with the Maxim. Bet your going to love her once she's tidied up.
