A nice example of the first incarnation of the popular XJ900. This is the 1983 SECA model.

MOTd until July 2024.

Please note that this was originally a European model, so the speedometer is in KMH. The odometer indicates 49, 226, so about only 30, 600 miles, although I cannot confirm this is the genuine mileage.

Generally in very good condition for its age. Original silencers look good, exhausts are sound, instruments are clean. Seat cover has no splits.

The bike starts and idles fine. The exhausts give a beautiful deep sound. A ‘throttle blippers’ dream!

Nearly £1000 has been recently spent with the following being done:

New tyres front and rear
New brake discs front and rear
New swingarm bearings
New wheel bearings
Rebuilt front and rear brake calipers with stainless steel pistons
New Venhill braided brake hoses front and rear
Rebuilt rear brake master cylinder
New front master cylinder/ brake lever
New throttle, choke and clutch cables
New rear shock absorbers
New battery
New foot rest rubbers
New petrol cap
New mirrors

Only negatives are a minor dent on the tank and the fairing has had a bracket glued on.

I think this would make a good, affordable and reliable classic with scope for minor improvements (like polishing the engine covers for example).

I’m selling this because my original intention was to radically customise it. However, I think it’s too good for that and needs to go to an owner who appreciates it for what it is.
