Frame no. 58L-031135
Engine no. none visible

Yamaha certainly came up with a winning formula when it introduced the XJ900 way back in 1983, as this conservatively styled and engineered all-rounder would remain in production for a further 20 years, only disappearing from the range, as the XJ900S Diversion, at the beginning of 2004. Not that the XJ's arrival was without hiccup though, as the original's handlebar-mounted nose fairing contributed to frightening high-speed instability that was only cured with the introduction of a frame-mounted version for '84.

Currently displaying a total of 84,100 miles on the odometer, and sold on account of the vendor's ill health, this XJ900 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, its mechanical condition being unknown. A spare cockpit fairing is included in the sale. There are no documents with this Lot; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.
