NAME THIS BIKE.....

#1 Unread post by DragonflyDrew »

Need to figure out what my bike is.... looks like an early 80's Yamaha XJ650 / 750 but need to make sure for registering and insuring (and repairing) lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I didn't notice this post the first time around. It's definitely not an XJ, which was an inline 4. The only early 80s Yamaha liquid cooled v-twin I remember was the Vision 550 (XZ550).

I name it Shelia, the town bike, she'll let anyone ride her. :D
