I was torn in 1988 on buying a yamaha seca 700 or a about same year 1984 honda magna. I choose the honda magna and made a wise choice at 1500 bucks back then. never heard of the seca 900 but if that 700 was a 900 seca, it would be the seca over the honda magna I think? similar design, etc. but 900 seca am sure being very rare.
Still ticks me off to this day I sold it for 1500 bucks in 1998 for what I paid for it. That bike was near MINT tons of extras added and to this day would fetch with some 40-50K or so miles on it now 1500 all day long. The guys dad even tried to persuade me to let it go for 1400 bucks since the rear tire needed replacing very soon. I said give me a break, I should have said no and just kept it end of conversation, loved that bike. 1500 or leave it was my comment. I price things to sell fairly. Even sold my old 1980s 5 hp ariens ST524 snowblower for ONLY 125 bucks before this winter ran very well with good electric start, but inherited a bigger, but older, snowblower also in good shape did not need 2 of them. Lady who bought it never even wanted me to start it but I did for her to show her how it ran, etc. Others posted not as good of shape were going for 150-200 bucks online same unit. I figured for 30+ years old limited use it served its purpose time to move on giving someone else a fair deal not needing 2 older snowblowers. going to snow tomorrow so going to use old BLUE tomorrow to clear some snow and use up some old gas in the tank from ONLY using it twice all winter long. I can shovel by hand but blowing snow 40 feet is more fun plus old gas in carbs not being used is not good I run the gas tank dry every spring which will be soon enough right??????
