    What is worse - selling your XJ, or selling your XJ and then finding it up on ebay 5 months later and knowing you cannot afford to buy it back?

    This is actually the third time it has been sold since I owned it and I was bidding on it when the previous owner withdrew it from auction and sold it for £300. Suddenly - 2 weeks later - its now worth £650!!??

    You are supposed to sell it for a high price in the spring and then buy it back for pennies in the fall!

    Ouch that must be painful for you. Nice looking bike does it really have a six speed or do you guys count neutral as a gear

    I'll tell you what's worse, at least for me.

    Selling your personal excellent custom build bike and seeing it come into your shop unannounced on the back of a wrecker looking for a total loss appraisal. Last time I saw it, it was purty, next time a crumpled mess. Least the new owner was okay.

    The chain-drive XJs all had 6 speed gearboxes; the 550 Seca and Maxim are both 6-speeds.
