Posted August 27, 201212 yr Has anybody got one of these please - I bought this a week ago, nice bike. Nostalgia grin factor
August 30, 201212 yr Yes I have one, its a 1989 model, just put new carb mounting rubbers on it and balanced the carbs but its still got problems and my fork seals need replacing, clutch was acting up but its a bit better now, watching a XJ900 now for a bigger grin factor lol
August 31, 201212 yr I used to have one when they first came out, mine was basically all white apart from the red and blue stripes, yours is also missing the belly pan that mine came with.
August 31, 201212 yr This is me Bender, made a bit of a mess logging a couple of different usernames over time - so glad to get a reply. Professional Peter, hope you get your XJ600 sorted matey, this one seems to be reasonably well looked after, a few issues but not enough to stop me taking off to Bournemouth tomorrow. Yes the XJ 900 (pre-diversion?) is nice but too heavy for me and they won't do 58 mpg unfortunately. remember a trip to Billingham, there was a night club, La Ronde ??? Can't recall, saw some poor chap being hurled down the (circular?) stairs by bouncers, this was back in the early 70's. Campaman - oh I wish you had kept it, we could have started an owners group. . - the belly pan was removed to fix the engine bars I think. Love dogs too, Lurchers are the ones for us

October 3, 201212 yr Just picked one up last Monday. Not as original as yours as a previous owner decided to spray paint it in matte black. But they did do a half decent job, so I will leave it like that for the moment.
