Yamaha siting in Sears Tool Catalog

[Jerry]

Wasn't doing much on Christmas Day, so started paging through the most recent Sears Tool Catalog 2006 - 2007. On page 71, top right hand corner, there is this photo of a motorcycle lift. In the background is what appears to be an '82 Yamaha; curved-spoke wheels, slotted front rotors. Not an XS, as it appears to have drum rear brakes.



Any thoughts? Any of our peopele involved in setting up the catalog?

It's probably a 650 Maxim or such! It also appears to be a poorly done photoshop job, the bottom of the wheels are cut flat but don't seem to match the floor quite right, wrong angle, and the shadow on the wall near the front tire doesn't look right either!
Just probably some old stock photos they had already paid the rigthts for, and used again!?

I agree with TC . Double disk front and drum would probally be a 650 Maxim. The 750 had a disc in back IIRC.

My 83 XJ750 Midnight has a drum rear looks prety close.

Looks just like my 82 Maxim XJ750J

I do like how there appears to be a 7" opening in the wall where the front wheel is. The people who own that place must be really skinny.
