1981 Yamaha Maxim 650 review from United States of America
"Great overall bike"
General comments?
This bike is great in power and reliability. It has plenty of speed and handles great.
This bike was built in the 80,s and should be judged on that level. Don't compare this bike to the new models; it was before their time.
I don't think the new bikes can compete with the toughness of this bike. I bought my Maxim 650 for one hundred bucks about 6 months ago and love it. The bike had been sitting for about 8 years, and I had very little problem getting the bike to run after buying it. I was amazed.
