    If it had original exhaust, I'd give $2k for it.

      yeah wasnt sure that was the original exhaust...hard to see as the pics dont show the left side ...but it kinda looks like all the headers are angled to one side...

        Looks Good From Afar

        I'd have a problem givin' the seller half of what they're asking, until I had closer, and all sides of pics.

        When C-list gives you the option of 24 images you'd think a seller would take advantage of that level of advertising.

        Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

          Looks to be a fairly good scoot. That would likely go quicker for that amount if it had stock exhaust instead of the 4into1.

            I wonder if that is the original paint or if it has been redone, the blue does not look dark enough, I suppose it could be the lighting? Price could be in the ballpark but it would be nice to get more info like how many miles are on the bike.

              A re-paint..............No XS11 model was ever blue from factory.

                The U.S. XS11 models '79F and '81H were offered in Indigo Blue, but you are right, this bike is a re-paint ...

                No XS11 model was ever offered in this shade of blue ...

                  ............never figured the reasoning for it being called Indigo Blue, as actual color is not even close, shade or color.

                    Brant,

                    I've never seen one of the "Indigo Blue" Eleven's in the flesh, only in pictures, so I will definitely defer to your judgement ...

                    But, to my eyes, this '79F that's posted in the "Bikes For Sale" forum right here sure does look like a dark shade of blue ...



                    Granted, these aren't very high quality pics ...

                        The 80Standard shade of blue was even different yet than 81Standard, and neither is the same as the for sale bike.

                          OK, now I'm really confused ...

                          I thought the only color options for the '80 Standard were Diamond Silver or New Ruby Red ... ???

                            Right you are.

                            There was no blue '80G's in the USA, not sure about Europe though.
