    Gee, wiz, Ben. People might get the idea that you're shopping for an XS!

      I AM shopping for an 1100cc UJM, so I've been looking at the XS, KZ, and GS models. As you can tell by my signature, I've gone through the Honda models.

      I can tell you they are not all over the country. For some reason, the affordable (<$1200) ones are all in the Midwest, notably Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, and a few are in the NE, with the remainder being in California or the Pacific NW. Once in a while one will pop up in Texas, and far less often Arkansas or Alabama.

      Another problem has been finding a standard, as there seem to be 5 Specials/LTD/GL models for sale for every standard.
      Current bikes:
      1980 & 1981 Suzuki GS1000G
      Parting a '91 ST1100 & repairing an '85 V65 Sabre
      Shopping for an 1100cc UJM project now!

        Mileage ?

        Nice looking bike but just wonder about what the actual mileage is considering it's a 79 with a 1980 speedometer? The bike is also listed on Ebay.

            Yup, you're not shopping until you find one close and dirt cheap.....then you'll think I might as well buy it, I won't loose $. Thats how I got 4 bikes I wasn't shopping for.
