I'm just a novice: bought my 1983 XJ750 Midnight Maxim with about 34,000kms on it, a couple of months ago. And I have just passed my certification as a novice rider - took the course on a Honda 125. The change is quite noticible in the obvious size and power differences - but the Maxim is also smoother and easier (at lower speeds, anyway)to control. The upright seating arrangement means that you really feel the wind as you travel along - but that's the joy isn't it?? What a nice smooth feel... Maybe I'll report back after I get more experience... Meantime, I'm having fun learning the feel of the beastie...

I bought this with 7500 miles on it. It had been dropped twice and left in a corner. I paid $450 for it, and use it for my 100 mile commute daily. V-Twins are real pretty, with lot's of rumbling type sounds, but when the rubber meets the road...I fly by 1450's & 1600's. I smoke the twisties in the local mountain range, I kick my feet up on the highway pegs and I keep going and going and going.............I now have aprox 50,000 miles on it, and I can see another 50k on the way!! Go ahead and spend the $10,000-$20,000. Enjoy looking at my $450.00 tail lights.
