For 25 years, we’ve been very

This year, we’ve done it again.
Introducing the motorcycle
we’ve both been waiting for. The
incredible new Seca 750.
FIRST TO THE EAST LANE.
As high performance motorcycles
go, this one goes like you wouldn’t
believe.
Its748cc in-line four is lighter
than any production 750 engine.
And, to the complete despair of
the competition, narrower as well.
With more power than you ever
thought possible.
This combination of maxi-
mum power and minimum bulk
further combined with an ultra-
smooth, fully-enclosed shaft drive
makes the Seca as near to a
perfect performance motorcycle
as anyone has ever come.
And, if we had stopped there,
we could have taken our rightful
place in the Motorcycle Hall of
Fame.

THE SECA 550.

Of course, it can’t have escaped
your attention that the Seca 750
is pretty nice to look at, too.

For those of you who prefer a mid-

machine, we offer the Seca 550.
Its 528cc DOHC in-line four
is actually a bored and stroked
400. So, if the Seca 750engine is
narrow, the 550 is practically
invisible.
And if you remember with
mouth-watering clarity Yamaha’s
legendary RD400, now EPA

the performance you can expect
from the Seca 550.
