Seca?It has a 550 in it![]()
A good friend of mine had one with the full fairing and it was just as fast as my 650 Seca in every way. Stators were a problem with his though.XZ was also a 550.....And way more advanced than the Seca. Way more power as well, possibly too much ahead of its time?

Bingo!! You’re the big winner! Congratulations!
I don’t know you location, but I’m at the Barber Vintage Fest. That engine is probably here. I have seen at least two 76/77 XS500s in the swap meet area and I only walked three lanes of it. Murphy says that engine will fall in your lap as soon as you start parting the bike out.No engines to be found around here though![]()

I’m in Northwest Oklahoma… a half a world away from anything. It’s a pity this wasn’t two weeks later as I would be off work then and could have made it.View attachment 252767
