About this model
About the Yamaha XJ 700
The Yamaha XJ700 is a Japanese classic tourer from the mid-1980s, powered by a 696 cc air-cooled inline-four engine with dual overhead camshafts. Producing around 72 hp, the engine is designed for relaxed highway cruising and longer day trips. Yamaha produced the XJ700 from 1985 to 1986, positioning it as a comfortable mid-range tourer within the XJ family.
The XJ700 suits experienced riders looking for a comfortable, versatile motorcycle for touring use. The upright riding position reduces fatigue on longer rides, and the weight is manageable for the type. It competes with the Honda CB700SC Nighthawk and Kawasaki GPZ700. On the used market it is a niche classic with a loyal following.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the carburettors for blockages and poor synchronisation; typical after long storage periods.
- Inspect the cylinder-head fins for hairline cracks from overheating.
- Check the brake caliper pistons for seizure; brake parts availability is limited.
- Watch for camshaft and valve-clearance wear at higher mileages.
- Inspect the electrical system for corroded connectors, a known issue on machines of this generation.
