YAMAHA MAXIM 650 for sale

	1982 Yamaha Maxim 650 4 cylinder Shaft drive (no chain) $1400.00 My neighbour Steve purchased a new Suzuki and asked me to prep his well maintained 1982 Yamaha to sell. It has a 4 cylinder engine that is far smoother and more powerful than the traditional 2 cylinder engines found on most bikes. I had so much fun doing it, that I invested far more hours than what is reflected in the asking price. Whoever buys this bike is getting a great value for their money.
