    To start off with ..I should have introduced myself much earlier ..but well
    some learn the hardway :p.
    I am 50yrs old and have had several bikes in my early twenties and late thirties ..ending up with a HONDA CB350.Due to political climate i had to part off with them due to unavailabilty of parts and the constrains (country's law)on foreign exchange, laid off bikes for some twenty years ..lol am now back to it...,since the politcal and economic climate has changed in my country so has the foreign exchange constrains removed ..its now easier to get most of the things and thats how I managed to buy this bike XJ750A here in Tanzania. This bike was imported by a local trader dealing in importing used cars and motorcycles from Japan.
    This bike is the same as XJ750R.
    .(unfortunately there are no parts for this bike here :( ).
    Lucky to have the internet and be in its era and I hope to be able to obtain parts via this . :)

    I am a Tanzanian by birth but of an asian origin.
    I am a mechanic by profession.
