Sport-touring dressing of the XJ750 platform, adding a fairing, lowers, a trunk and saddlebags to the Seca-based sport bike. Mechanically it is largely unchanged, keeping the anti-dive forks and electronic warning console. Testers liked its handling and fairing wind protection, but the added weight dulled performance and seat and controls drew comfort complaints.
