Yamaha XJ700XN Maxim X reviews

It really handles well and is highly reliable. I ride with a number of big Harleys and keep right up with them. My only complaint is no place for saddle bags given upswept exhaust and placement of rear turn signal lamps. Show less

Good starter bike (6 close-ratio gears) with enough 'grunt' to get going well; will ride well at 60 all day but engine will complain at 70+mph on a hot day (95F handlebars at wrong angle leading to sore wrists etc; adequate seat comfort; nice-sounding standard exhaust note; standard seating position makes a windshield, even a small sport shield a must; overall a good, reliable bike(400+ miles a month)although I added new chain, sprockets, battery. Recommendation--you can usually find a good one if you look hard enough, and at a good price it is worth it as a starter bike to learn the ropes, with its modest power delivery and standard seating arrangement. 3 stars given for my sore wrists and heavy wind-force at freeway speeds.

This is my first big bike. It looks great, rides great and turns heads. The only problem is you never see any pics of it on the net. Please could you put one on so I can have it as wallpaper. Show less
