Here is my 92' Yamaha Seca II. Sorry the aviar looks crummy,I couldn't figure out how to get the picture into the body of this post.

It's been a month since I bought it and just got it back from the mechanic yesterday. Took it out for a total of 35 miles, so far, today.
The bike hasn't been ridden in 4 years since the previous owner took it apart for an oil leak.

It has a nice deep sound and travels peacefully at highway speed, which is a nice change from the Rebel. The Rebel vibrated heavily over 55.

The Seca definatley has a different feel, I hope I will get used to the riding position it is a little forward, but not too bad.

It's sunny and 60 today and hopefully tomorrow too. A nice change since it has rained here almost continuously since November. More riding for me!

Here, you have it uploaded somewhere I think, so in a single line do the following.

[img]www.imagesite. com[/url] with no spaces, enters, returns, blurbs monkeys or anything else, and it'll work.

I intentionally added the space afterwards.

If you haven't uploaded the pic somewhere then go to www.photobucket.com and sign up for an account, then upload your pic there and then use the URL it provides.

Easy as pie... mmmm pie

You got it up, looks like a very nice ride.

Now you just need to make the picture a little bit smaller and it'll be perfect.

Nice bike there. I wanted to get one myself,
but everytime i saw one in the cycle trader
it was sold by the time i called to ask about it.

So i ended up getting a GS 500 instead.

Finally, I got the picture and a good size.

I looked at the GS and the FZ6, but I don't have that kind of money and this an intermediate bike for me so I wanted something I wouldn't be too pissed about dropping.
I picked this one up on the local craigs list for 650, but it came in several boxes. It cost me a little over 600, parts and labor, to get it running again. So far so good, I'm into it for less than Blue Book. Hopefully she'll run good for me. She needs a bath and some other cosmetics, but from a distance she doesn't look too bad.

Hope the weather's good tomorrow too.
