The Yamaha XJ900R Seca is a bit of a unicorn in the USA, it was only imported by Yamaha for one year in 1983, before its relatively low sales numbers forced the Japanese manufacturer to pull it from the market. There were a few reasons for the dismal sales, Yamaha was competing directly with the Kawasaki GPz1100, the Suzuki GS1100E, and the Honda CB1100F – all larger capacity motorcycles and all chain driven as opposed to the shaft used on the XJ900.
