      If you're going to dream, dream big. At the price, I have to say, NO.

      Fugly stock dash, bulky seat, no fender or fork brace, just NO.

      The orange and black is kinda cool.

                  152mph XS11.........yea right, considering these ole' shaftie driven scoots max. speed is a bit under 140mph.
                  Hmmm........must be the filter pods get it that extra mph........or maybe cause the way it's set up, at a 100mph I'm sure it feels like 150+.....scary at best!

                      Pretty cool IMO. Makes it look like an Italian scooter on steroids.

                        I messaged him about the hyperbole statement of 152 mph. He claimed that was radar-checked. Right . . .

                          Hey, I've been told I was going faster than I knew I was by radar a few times, myself! He's probably telling the truth...about that.

                          Doesn't mean he was really going that fast...

                              Nope! I had an 11 w/ an 850 fd.

                              IIRC, Maximan's Zilla, (one of the hottest 11's I've ever seen) topped out around 140 or so. It also had an 850 FD.
