    Yamaha brought that name and a bit of the style back w/ the seca II that was produced for a few years back in the early 90's if I remember correctly.

        The turbo's never made the hit that the factories hoped for -- finicky, prone to turbo problems, and added more weight than power benefit where most riders needed it (under 80 mph). Still, a very cool find, and the SECA's were a good bike to ride compared to other UJM's of their generation (narrow between the knees, comfy, some were shafties). Oh, and it really benefits from modern tires...

          My first street bike was a 600cc Seca II... it sucked but it was a nice learning bike.

              I've got an old Cycle World mag. around here somewhere with the "New For 82" article in it.
              If In remember correctly, the writer/test rider, put it in the woods. Seems when he down shifted for a corner, the RPMs picked up, engaged the Turbo boost and rocketed him through the forest just beyond the apex.
              I must see if I can dig that up. Funny stuff.

                  A frind had one last year. Getting a 600 ss this year. They are nice learner bikes. But like wildkat said they dont have much get up and go.

                      Yeah I loved that bike. Mine's still on the road. Sure looks dated now. Mine looked better than the stock one in the end. It had more punch than the Katana. There's a couple of pics over here...

                        Sort of Buck Rogerish.....Without the windscreen on the front it does resemble an early Kat.

                            Only because I still love you (not in the same way that sexwax does though, so don't worry)
