Yamaha lunched in 1981 one of the most technically advanced motorcycles of its time. Yamaha built the big XJ 750 Seca around a sweetheart of an engine, an enlarged version of 1980’s cruiser surprise, the 650 Maxim. The 750 version of the Seca was understressed and the narrowest engine in the 750 cc class upon its debut, thanks to the alternator and ignition being placed behind the cylinders.
