I was trying to figure out if I know the owner. We had a turbo owner at VYR a couple times. I think he owned more than one. I last attended in 2019.
I believe those Mr Turbo equipped XS11s have brought pretty big money in the past. It’s been some time since I’ve been witness to a sale.Marty (in Mississippi)

As far as the sale and marketing of bikes is concerned, here are my predictions and thoughts. It will never sell. Never in 1 million years. Unless the builder is a famous and reputable engine mechanic, a motor that has been highly modified like this by a mystery meat mechanic is a potential Grenade Bike. A bike that has been built and then never ridden is a Coffee Table Bike. You sit and look at it. This is one level above a Coffee Table Bike. It is a Coffee Table Grenade Bike. Totally unmarketable. It's like dating an "ex" heroine addict who is "now clean". The chances for failure are too high to risk. So park that Coffee Table Grenade and lust over it's potential driving splendor. It's now yours forever ya dink.
BTW, it could be a very well built and reliable bike. But in this age of on-line lies, deceit, and "Buyer Beware", the odds are against selling a highly modified bike. Mathh said it best; "I have seen that one for sale more than once"......and you will see it for sale many more times in the future.
A stock, well running bike with decent original paint and maintenance documentation makes for the fastest sales and biggest financial returns. Any deviation from this formula upsets the time/financial return.Last edited by DEEBS11; Today, 01:40 AM.Comment
