So I absolutely love sport bikes but I really don't see a need to own more than one sooo in order to convince myself I need two bikes I picked up a cruiser for some part time riding. Nothing will replace my cbr. I love that bike.
Its a 1986 Yamaha maxim 700. It needs some cleaning up and such and some dents popped out of the tank. It floods itself out so I need to do some carb work. I really wanted an old CB900 but the darn things hold there value pretty well. Gotta love Honda. Maybe I'll trade for one when I get this staightened or or I might like it.
Its got brand spanking new never ridden dunlops on it and the carbs have been hot tanked just not adjusted right as far as I can tell. I plan to get her running right and then work on cleaning it up. I picked it up for 400 and he threw in the carb synch gauges. He had probably 375 into it just in tires.

Congrats! Lots of potential in that bike.

I've got the option on an '82 Virago 750. If you've seen Cafe Racer, you'll remember that a beautiful cafe racer was made from just that. Only dreamin' at this point though.

Happy motorcycling! ;-)
