November 21, 200816 yr Moderator 1982 XJ550 Seca (Red) The quarter fairing was a factory item but proved NOT to be very aerodynamic.....& was removed by most of it's owners. I've had 3 of these bikes......& rode this 1 for 13 years before selling it with 130k on the clock .....
November 21, 200816 yr It looks like a 1982 XJ550 RH Seca. A white one about 3/4 down this page http://dave_jack.tripod.com/id18.htm Red one on the far left in this line up of bikes, looks like the same on in the Nerds movie to me, which is entirely possible if the same studio produced both films. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_115571-Yamaha...aadbd3e84672e1d Edit, Yamahead beat me to it, but the RH has the right faring also.
November 21, 200816 yr Moderator The XJ550 Seca was made in '81-'83 Basically, the only differences between all 3 was the color '81 White '82 Red '83 Black........(Typical practices for alot of models in that time frame)
November 21, 200816 yr My 2nd bike was an all red with black wheels '82 or '83 550, not the white with red trim like yours, and I didn't have the funky looking RH fairing on mine lol
