Randall Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I recently traded my 1988 Yamaha FZ 750 for a 1985 Yamaha XJ 700 X Maxim plus a few other parts for the Maxim. I have to say I enjoy riding the Maxim a lot more than I did the FZ any way here's a couple pics. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 With the FZ I was tempted to do things I shouldn't and the best way to avoid temptation is to not have access to it. Now I'm perfectly happy just to cruise around and still have the power there when and if I need it. The Maxim suits my style better anyway.

HoughMade Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm with you. I just like wandering the back roads and seeing the sights. I can do that sitting up without my feet behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
