Hi Steven.  Great site you guys have!  Attached is a photo of my '85 Maxim XJ700.  I'd appreciate it if you would post it. As you probably know, the 700's were only made for two years (85-86) as Japan's response to the US tariff on 750cc's and over.  Mine is a great bike.  Starts every time.  Only has 10,000 miles on her.  I get lots of looks from car drivers at stop lights.  My only complaint is with the suspension, especially the front forks.  The bike doesn't handle small bumps well, no matter how I adjust the rear springs.  I've replaced the fork oil.  Still no better. I bought this bike used in '87 for only $1,700.00, so I'd say I've gotten my money's worth.  No plans to sell it though.  I've had six bikes before this one, but I'm keeping this one! See ya.
