    Well, maybe the seller will figure out it's not an 81. Guess that'll happen if the tag with manufacture date,etc. on steering neck is referenced to, as manufacture date tag is exactly that, not production yr.
    Actuallly looks to be an 80 Standard(80 G). A lot of tell-tale signs besides engine sidecovers.
    81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

      Priced right! If I was up for the road trip, I would go and retrieve this one!

        Looks to be an "F"

        Sidecovers with pull tab and kick start shaft are present, also speedo is the speedy one.

        Foot rests are early ones also.

        1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
        1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
        1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
        1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

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

          So that would make it a 78E or 79F with the kick start shaft. Seat and grab bar are not correct and appear from a Special? Has the "spaghetti" pipe exhaust system also.

            The exhaust, oil cooler, steel braided brake lines, and fork brace is worth the $300.

              If I hadn't just moved away from Indy I would have bought this already.
