I had 4 of these. Just a simple, fun, reliable bike. My favorite cosmetic model, was the 97/98 years. But that green, was marvelous! It was called " Yamaha cocktail blue"... and it was blue.but it was green. ( dark emerald green that shifted in the light, it could look, blue, green, or black, depending on shadows, and lighting.) Just a sexy, sexy color!
It served its purpose well as a mile munching first beginners bike for me. Only beginner issue was weak off idle power that could make it awkwardly stall at uphill stop sign starts. I out grew the power and my next bike was an excellent FJ1200. Instead of the Seca 2, I really wanted a Yamaha Radian as my first bike but that was discontinued two years before I was ready to buy my first bike.
i know this video is old. But duuude come on atleast clean it and make sure ur bolts are tight and lubricated, like the bolt for the gear pedal is sitting at the last thread. What a shame, so much and yet so little to make it shine, keep these old gems in good condition and take care of them.
