        XS1100 Newbie, what are you talking about? "WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! You are dreaming again."

        Tripple, "can you say xs850." No, but I can say Eleven Special.

          There are very few XS1100 rides that are worth that kind of money, and that one doesn't look to be one, but it is worth what someone will pay for it.

              Hry Bullet, do you somtimes park this downtown on Court by the Arms and Dep building??

              If this is the one I have seen there, I can vouch that it is about mint looking. VERY VERY well kept. Those pics do not do it justice if it is the one I am thinking of. As an SH owner, I can tell you it is 100% nice.

              Now, I would be impressed to see it fetch that money here in Cincinnati. But heck, if it does, Maybe time to sell Banshee and pick up another one needing help!!

                Yes, I do park on Court & Main, I think I have seen your bike parked next to mine once or twice, nice bike. Thank you for the compliment.

                Yea, I was a little unsure of the price, and I will be dropping it some. I am open for suggestions.

                  egleaves has also seen the bike before. I was having some idle issues a couple years ago and he stopped by and looked at it, he lives just a few miles away from me. Really nice guy, gave me a few tips on the XS bikes.

                    Wow,
                    Post #3 is the result of posting a response after a few too many beers.
                    That bike looks good. Hope you get what you need.

                      I have never got to ride mine down there. I do recall Eric talking about when he came to help you and what an absolutely mint clean machine it is. Absolutely correct, having seen it in person.

                      If I were in the market for one in that condition, I would definitely be looking you up. As is, I have my stock bike ready to ride now. If I were to decide to have the battle that would ensue if I were to buy another, it would be one that needed a tank and seat and all the other cosmetics. I want to go the customization route on my next build.

                      Good luck on selling it, it is a beautiful machine.

                        I thought you had parked next to mine, must have been someone else. I have see a few XS bikes downtown in my area and parked next to mine. They are good bikes and very fast, I would love to sell mine to someone who would appreciate it and not just some Joe who wants to tear it up.

                          CL pics arent the best but it appears you have a fine example of an XS1100. I wouldnt let a few naysayers dissuade you from selling it at the price you believe its worth. Its worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
