Wow, that is awesome!! I am looking to buy one tomorrow for $1000.00, trading with work. I can't believe the reviews on this thing!
I need to go check it out and see what future repairs I might expect, but for the price, it might be worth it.
When I look at it and test ride it, what is the most important things to look for... as in, what are the costly weaknesses on the XJ700 I don't wanna get entangled with?
Thanks for all the reviews, it helps a lot.

I just bought my first bike - 1985 Yamaha Maxim-X 700cc, 45,600 miles on it for 1200.00.
I have been riding this bike every day. Since this is my first bike, I am not really sure what to expect from it.
The bike seems to have some front brake issues - which I am taking to a technician.
I have had the opportunity to ride the Maxim for a little over three hundred miles in a week. 45 MPG I have been getting, and am so far very pleased.
Looking forward to having a great summer on this bike, and riding it until the roads freeze over.
