Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this Sei sold for a BIN of $11,000.
When the Sei was introduced (as a 750), it was the first production motorcycle featuring a six cylinder engine. By ’78, the Sei got a bump up to 900 and a redesign that included many parts from Moto Guzzi (De Tomaso owned both companies at the time). You had to pay to play – MSRP was $5,406 in ’83 – so less than 2,000 were sold (apparently some sources say less than 80 made it to the US).
The 905cc engine produced 80 horsepower, good enough to push the 484 pound (dry) bike up to a top speed of approximately 120 miles per hour. For more on the 900 Sei, check out this profile from Motorcycle Classics.
This example has just 3,857 miles and is claimed to be excellent original condition. It is being offered by the 3rd owner, who has had the bike for 6 years. The seat cover has some scratches from a cat and the tires are 5 years old, but everything seems to be just dandy.
