If you did that (he was basically posing apparently) I'd say it is possible. It was running for about 10 minutes or so I heard. New engine time; he was loaded - working on big turbines abroad.

One man horrorshow is another's masterpiece, so I tread carefully as I may be treading on someone's dreams but that is, I believe, an example of the German street fighter seat unit craic.

Never mind treading carefully. That needs stamping on. Now.

Even on the mainstand, your older classic carbed bike engine can be harmed at tickover/idle - found this while looking up the MT-07!

Any thoughts on this;

https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagebikes-for-sale/yamaha-xs-750/24784658

I've had an 1983 XJ750 which I loved until some plank pulled out in front of me 20 years ago and it ended up being written off. Thinking of running it for a year as a second bike and selling it on breaking even at least.

Esel · 14-05-2020 8:10pm

Different bike altogether to the XJ, you obviously know that. Think that model (1977) still had points ignition, and the 2nd gear issue. From Wikipedia:

"Problems with reliability led to a further release in 1977. A particular problem was with 2nd gear. This had a habit of dropping into neutral under load. Canny riders would short-shift from 1st to 3rd gear; the engine had enough torque to support this technique. The Yamaha fix tended to be temporary, so not worth doing. "

There was an XJ750 Seca Turbo in the States, not sure if it made up Europe? The regular XJ750 there was cruiser style.

H_Lime · 14-05-2020 8:37pm

Friend of mine had one in the 70's and bought again lately, as new resto. He loved it, will ask him bout his ownership second time round.

I know where there's a couple of Seca's.
Whether they are for sale is another thing.

I put my bike on Donedeal during the week. Had it sold over the phone within 24 hours. :eek:

Large deposit sent via bank transfer and it should be done and dusted within a couple of days. Plenty of buyers out there .

Sold a Harley Davidson Ultra Limited, not sure what I'm getting but leaning heavily towards a 1250GS Adventure. Providing I can get one. Not sure what's happening with production at the moment.

Did you not sell one of those a year or so ago? Can't remember exactly but you had some issues with it?

Loved mine.
Not gonna knock your socks off in any department but just a nice bike to ride.

I rang the guy I sold mine to the day after to see if they got home ok. (His brother rode it home for him).
He said when they got back his brother asked him would he sell to him.

https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-racing/how-throttle-blipping-came-to-be/

I read years ago that that that blipping thing was down to BSA Gold Stars on Amal racing carbs with no idle jet. They literally wouldn't idle so you had to blip. And because they were a desirable machine, the blipping at the lights fashion caught on even among those who didn't need to...

Gotta be scary.

First Fireblade is nice looking. What's the best Fireblade? The internet at a brief glance seems to say it's the 954????

Hotblack Desiato · 28-05-2020 2:46am

Best looking - foxeye urban tiger or one of the early Rothmans Doohan replicas

Later ones probably piss all over them to ride though

McCallens have one for a good price at the moment. I'm slightly tempted. I'm afraid I'd be cramped on it though.

I sat on one over at EICMA a few years back.
Wasn't to crampy at all.

She didn't look crampy on it either mind you...

That's a nice lightweight parallel twin but I'd prefer a somewhat larger capacity myself

Also it matters how long your arms are. I'm a bit of a knuckle dragging ape so can sit quite upright on a lot of sports bikes, the upright / adventure style riding position is too much for me

Nah, she's plenty aerodynamic as she is. No point weighing the bike down with unnecessary luggage and saddlebags

Could you call him a dealer when he won't sell anything?
Lots of more stuff there.
Several cbx's,GT750's, Z1300 etc etc.
I'm more into newer stuff he has even though that stuff is nearer my era and I like it.
A few Ducatis, a lovely RVF400 and even a Zx7r that looks spanking new, I wouldn't mind having.
