Maxim VS Seca

I have the oportunity to get a 1982 XJ750 Seca and all ready own a 82 Maxim 750. I was kind of curious on if there were any differences with the performance between the 2. I know the Seca looks a bit sportier, but as far as I can see they have the same engine. I was also wondering if I could use the Maxim as a parts bike if needed as the Seca is in incerdible condition and the Maxim has seen better days.

It has been a while since I have been on XJBikes.com but have always had great advice from all here.

Thanks in advance.

 

Look HERE & cross check the part numbers.

 

There's an antidive system on the Seca.
If that counts toward performance.

 

On the 550s, the Seca has "hotter" cams. This isn't spelled out anywhere or advertised, it takes looking at the lift and cam dimensions in the service manual(s) to tell the difference.

 

Not sure how they compare weight-wise or gearing, but that would affect performance. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcyclespecshandbook/ has some basic specs if you don't have the XJ CD to compare technical manuals. The Seca probably has a larger gas tank.
