    Had to take a second look at the XJ. Swirly wheels and teardrop tank but the headlight and turn signals are wrong.

      Its an '82 XJ750 Maxim ..I had one ... so its correct for what it is...as it was '82s' were XJs' everything from the Maxim XJ400 to XJ1100

        Hi Harry,
        dunno if the XJ's headlight & signals are stock or not but even if they are not they are not wrong, they are only different.
        But the rider? No gloves, rain jacket air-filled like a balloon, wearing a backpack,
        white low-cut sneakers and black socks? Man that is so wrong.

            the quality of the images is rather poor but if you've got nothing going on:



            go to the web galleries and scroll through a bunch of rides

            last time I went up that mountain I took a video, and that time I had to brake for bambi, I'll post for fun

              I guess wrong was not the correct term. Didn't realize that the 750 had the square light and signals. That would explain it.

                I also had one. They even had a rectangle driving light under the headlight. It had its own switch. It was one of my favorite bikes. Little under powered if you installed a big fairing. Still loved the bike though.

                  It was called the auxilliary headlight...it was as smooth as the 11s' ...It did feel underpowered with a windscreen and overall its power was ok..but not world beating like the 11s'
