    Giving your pick a good going over i'm thinking a large cc yamaha scooter like a TMAX500 or a Majesty 400, but I just can't find a decent pic of the dash of either..

    For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
    Because he knows the time is short
    Let him who hath understanding
    Reckon the number of the beast
    For it is a human number
    Its number is six hundred and sixty six.

    It looks much like a Honda Elite 250 but it ain't...

    I give up.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Looks like a late 80s tourer. FJ series? That digital dash is throwing me off...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Are you sure the body style had been around a couple of years before the FJ arrived on the scene, the engine design had been a revamp for Yamaha and this particular model was produced the same year the FJ was released

    Apologies before hand about the scooter reference ;_;


    Was determined it was an XJ after that.

    So.. a 1984 XJ 900 perhaps?

    No worries about the scooter....

    It's a 84 XJ, but not a 900

    I've had XJs and their dashes were nothing like your teaser.
    From what you say, I'm guessing that perhaps we are looking at one of those horrible Seca Turbo things...Can't find anything, barring side views.

    The Turbos had a real love them or hate them style but the fairing worked a treat

    It's a 84 XJ750D Fuel Injected

    The old girl is on TradeMe a the moment not bad since it's nearly 20yrs ago that I had it

    Guess! This time it's a car.



    Last week's mystery two-wheeler was the Yamaha FS1-E, with K Lewis our prize winner.
