It is the 82 XZ550 Vision. My "project" bike before getting the new CB1100 STD. I bought her off Ebay for 300 dollars. Water cooled V-twin. Beautiful engine design. The carb is a disaster. I rebuilt the starter and got lots of new parts including a rare new exhaust system. She is not running. Likely she won't since I barely have time to ride my CB1100. Perhaps when I retire I can putter around with old bikes but old bikes are never going to be a good as the CB1100, certainly the carb nor the charging nor the brakes will never be as good as the CB even when the XZ was new so likely this project is no longer a priority.
