  • I can't sell the 1983 Yamaha XJ650 Seca Turbo! So, I am going to lightly restore it back to almost original position and then try to sell it in June (hopefully). Watch this video to see me ride the bike around and show some of my Facebook marketplace interactions while trying to sell this bike.

    It’s about time you made a video.. The shorts don’t quite cut it.

    I'm from 1983, so I'll be watching the whole resto!

    6:58 MG B GT (MG is the manufacturer, B is the model and GT is the variant).

    It's good to see a video from you! I'm looking forward to the video when you replace that windshield! It drives me nuts every time!

    I hate selling bikes and cars. Really shows you how dumb most people are.

    I rode a 1983 yamaha seca turbo back in the day! Quick bike, when the turbo spooled up!Even more rare here in Canada!

      The rarest was the Suzuki XN85 but the BEST was the Kawasaki GPz 750turbo.

    I’m sure you can sell it once you restore it. And if not it is a pretty sweet ride! In the meantime I’ll be enjoying watching you make it pretty again!

    I think the car was an MGB GT. I had a British friend in HS and he had a couple of them.

      Is everything a widow maker ?
      I'm so sick of that moniker.
      I had a 72 Kawasaki 750 H2 triple that they called the widow maker.
      It's an overused name.

    My favorite bike if all time. Rode mine for over 10 years before a "mechanic" messed it up. Riding a FJR 1300 now. I still prefer the turbo. Also, the fuel petcock is easily turned while sittinng on the bike. Never had to use pliers.

  • @cwaatiss
    @cwaatiss 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I just got one of these myself. Petcock is also leaking :p I look forward to the resto so I can follow along!

    Fun bikes, I've had mine for 5 years now and have found if you double tap the warning button on the dash, the battery light will stop flashing for the key cycle, and these bikes hate sitting, no matter how nice the conditions. I drain my fuel tank before storing since they like to fill the cylinders with gas either through the petcock or the fuel return system. only found that out since I was lucky to get a service manual with mine.

    please say the new project is a mid 1970's yamaha xs 750!!

  • @CRFLAus
    @CRFLAus 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Kawasaki 2 stroke?

  • @martinkupka3575
    @martinkupka3575 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Did you think about draining oil again and check for shavings before putting more money into it? Btw, for me yellow is the perfect colour for this bike.

  • @BullTaco-no9bs
    @BullTaco-no9bs 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Dude your killing it. Drain the dang oil.

  • @gjerdeanders
    @gjerdeanders 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Is it a Suzuki GT 750 sitting in your garage?;)

    how wild would it be if you turned that thingh into a cafe racer

  • @cambo1200
    @cambo1200 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Three cylinder 2-stroke? Either a Kawi or Suzuki then. Shot in the dark, I'll guess a GT550.

  • @davidjohnlozano6723
    @davidjohnlozano6723 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This bike will be a Good Cafe Racer or a Scrambler

    Are you sure you won't take that toaster for it? I'm afraid you're going to hurt yourself on it.

  • @sammacin4082

    I'd buy it but i live so far from you

  • @SundownCity
    @SundownCity 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I imagine that you figured it out, but it didn't sell because the yellow color is horrid and your price was way too high (even for one in great cosmetic condition with excellent paint). I owned four of these in the 1980s and have collected vintage cycles for the past 25 years.

  • @kawboy14
    @kawboy14 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    No one will buy it because it's a turd. The normally aspirated 650 was faster.
    NOW, if it was Kawasaki GPz750 turbo, you'd have many people wanting it.
    The best of the Japanese Factory turbos.
    And yes, I have one. 1985
