Posted April 6, 201015 yr 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.

April 7, 201015 yr Author 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.
April 8, 201015 yr 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.
