    Got a line on this one. Has 9,000 miles and is all stock. Basically a really clean survivor. Owner says it had a 52 point inspection and all is good. Carb boots were replaced. New plugs, other minor stuff. Says it runs flawlessly. Owner wants $2,200. What is a reasonable selling price? Is $2,200 fair?

    For that price it would already be in my garage. Those are hard enough to find in any condition let alone that nice. That’s a great price.

    That's looks to be a real nice example of a Seca 650. If your not familiar with them it was a one year only model (in the US), so not as common as the Seca 750.Bring $2200, and maybe he'll let it go for a little less.

    Just don't insult him with a low-ball.

    I hate when someone does that when I'm trying to sell a nice bike like that.

    That’s a great price, but agreed on the grips and I don’t see any red on the gauges....they look faded to white with what I can see. Still, probably a good score at that price. But until YOU see it, HEAR IT RUN...... could be anything

    If it runs as well as it looks that is a great buy. Takes me back to when I first saw a 650 new.

    Unfortunately he didn’t send one. I haven’t seen the bike yet. It’s about a 1.5hr drive for me.

    Here’s what the gauges should look like. If the red is faded, it’s a good indicator that it spent a lot of time outside in the sun. Not a huge deal.

    That’s ok :) For the USA, There was a difference of the 650 Maxim and the 650 seca. For you, it’s just the Xj650… Which is what we call the 650seca
