1981 Yamaha XJ550RH Seca Cruiser reviews

The Seca is way too overlooked as a good bike value for the dollar. A Seca in very good condition can be picked up for less than $1000 and with a little creative modifying, it can be made very modern. Sure, the after market is not being flooded with all kinds of parts for a Seca, but a little ingenuity can make this one hot little street rocket. A K&N filter, header, and re-jetting adds plenty of "off the line" and roll-on power. (My buddies Eclipse Turbo couldn't touch it). Its lightweight and moderate power makes it very predictable and tractable...important to both novices and seasoned riders alike. Yes, it's a bit of a dinosaur but give one a ride and you'll see what I'm talking about! Show less
