This is a nice entry level “naked” bike for those who want to start with a classic piece of history. This is a hard to find gem of a bike, and considered a rare find. | ||||||
| The Seca II has been described as a bike with casual sport purpose with the engine technology of race bikes - 600cc 16 valve aluminum motor, dual overhead cams, full alloy headers, dual exhaust, quad brand name carbs (one for each cylinder), multi disc wet clutch, vented hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, 7 position adjustable rear suspension, 6 speed gearbox, 4.5 gallon(17 liter) tank. 430 lbs weight! Here is what Total Motorcycle.com has to say about the Seca II: “The Seca II was Yamaha´s entry in the ´bargain motorcycles´ sector. When it first came out, its competition was the Kawasaki EX500, the Bandit 400, and the GS500E. It had many advantages over all of them. The motor was based on the Diversion 400 motor used elsewhere in the world. It was put in a full size steel tube frame. The Seca was a stylish motorcycle, and performed very well. It was comfortable, simple to work on, and a decent performer. The two valve per cylinder engine was no technological marvel, but it was reliable and easy to live with. The half fairing did a good job of protecting the rider from the elements. The Seca II was a very well rounded package. If a new Seca II´s price is a best buy, then buying an old version of the exact same machine for less should earn the buyer a place in the bargain-hunter´s hall of fame. Power in 1992 was 49.1bhp, with torque of 35.4ft/lb´s. Wet weight was 450lb´s” |
