Trading a couple old Yammers for an old Honda!

[luvmy40]

I've entered into a trade deal with a fellow I found on craig's list. He's got an '86 Honda VT500c Shadow that he's bobbed and a spare engine that needs a starter clutch up for sale or trade. I have a basket case '81 Seca 750 in pieces and an '82 Maxim 750 in very good condition. The maxim has been my short hop bike for about 5 years and I'm just plain bored with it after getting my Venture. I offered both XJs in trade and he accepted pending personal inspection or last minute cold feet so the trade is done deal, just getting the logistics together and transporting both bikes and spare parts about 100 miles may take a little time and planning.

 

Here's a pic of the Honda Bobber

 

 

What do y'all think?

I have a 82 XZJ 750 Maxim. Nice ride just a little small. Needs another gear.

The Shadow will have about half the hp of those 750 fours but you know that.

Yep, and about 2/3 the weight. Never having owned a shadow, I am hoping it has more low end torque than the XJs do. I just want a fun little hopper to commute to my part time gig and blow the dust from between my ears after a long day in the shop.

Well, the deal fell through. No trade for me!

 

He either found a bike that better suits his needs or decided he needs cash.
