I've decided to part it out. I will be listing parts for cheap on this site as well as on my local kijiji. I really only want to get back what I have in it, so if anyone local wants a whole parts bike let me know.

Any more details on this? 5K km isn't too much of a restriction. And if you wanted to, it would be easy to get around, especially for anyone on this forum. I originally bought my xs400 project bike because (stupidly) I thought that it would be cheaper to insure than my 81 cb750. Turns out...

I don't see your avatar. I'm assuming you don't see mine either (I'm also new). No idea why.

Oh you're in Alberta. Shoot I didn't check your location. Non-Ontario means it's irrelevant to me :-(. So the best so far is JaredK with $1065/year. Jared, which bike do you have?

Hmm... there is a complete 84 seca listed for $350 that's only an hour away. It says non-runner, but that is because it needs a head gasket and he has one. That would cost me much less than all of the parts I need to get this one running. Doing a top end rebuild won't be that big a deal, and...

Are you guys that posting that aren't from Ontario just doing it so you can gloat? :-P haha Co-operators won't insure my 1981 cb750. Too old. My only options are desjardins and intact with that bike. Levdir, what year is your bike? I was really hoping for less than $600 for a 400cc bike, but...

Liability only. So no, I don't get anything if it's stolen or damaged. Like I said, the guys from the US should have a good laugh at the insurance rates in Ontario. Looks like you guys in Europe will too. We just get hosed. There really isn't much competition, but strangely the insurance...

Also, because of the squarish swingarm, does that mean that this is an "R" model? If so, what other differences were there?

I spent most of my free time on Sunday building shelves, cleaning and organizing the garage. So much more free space now. I'm also very glad to have my tools on a pegboard again (I recently moved). Snapped a few pics of the bike. Exhaust: Exhaust showing how it is dented (probably from...

Hey guys, I was wondering what others on the forum are paying for insurance in Ontario? If you feel comfortable, please post your age, license and driving history. This should give the guys in the US a good laugh, but I am curious what it's going to cost me. My 81 CB750K costs me just...

No kidding, this weather is crazy. It's April right? I wouldn't know from the weather because it snowed today. I heard there were whiteouts on the highway between barrie and toronto. What is the name of the used bike place? Do they have a wrecking yard?

Thanks Scorpio, I like the exhaust wrap idea. I have that on my cb750 and love how it looks. The exhaust on this Seca might be too far gone though. If you look close at that picture you can see a red strap on the exhaust that is holding it up. Oh one more thing it's missing. A kickstand...

Oh, and the muffler is rotten. I will need to either patch it, get a new one or build something. I'll know more when I get it home.

Thanks willem, I'm definitely on the lookout for another parts bike, but I do have some parts on hand that I think I can use. On hand I have a spare headllight and ears, tach/speedo (do you guys know what the dohc yamaha ratio is? Is it the same as for dohc honda's?),mirrors, levers and a...

Here is the pic from the girl I bought it from. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. It's advertised as a seca. Looking at the wheels and tank I'd say that is right. Willem, thanks for the basic maintenance link. I think I'm going to need to do a lot more than is outlined there but it's a...
