The Yamaha XJ 700 Maxim is a mid-size motorcycle manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company and introduced in 1980 as the Maxim and produced through 1989. The XJ 700 Maxim comes equipped with Four cylinder, air cooled, twin cam 700 cc engine. The Maxim-X lays to ruin the dichotomy of style and function: More significant even than its 20-valve technology and high-performance numbers is its demonstration that trendy fashion need and versatility and that power and high-style need not be at odds. With the Maxim-X, Yamaha has rounded the corner and headed back with function as the central issue, back to the virtues that remain long after the glitter has lost its sheen.
