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!
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.

80 XS11 Standard sorta stock (Beatrice)
