1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim review from United States of America
"If you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s, this is the bike for you gotta love; an 82 650 Maxim"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
So far not one thing. This bike rides great, runs great, and feels so comfortable. Maybe the most trouble free old school there is.
General comments?
This bike is as fast as it can be. Around 10000 it starts coming on hard. I catch myself riding it like a motocross bike sometimes; racing all the gears up, and all them down, and then up again.
