These are my two bikes. The Honda is very very fun to ride. We will see how the XS11 is once we get her running again.

I think you'll find the in line 4 a lot quicker than the V twin and with the suspension working properly and good tires that XS will handle better than you ever expected.
It WILL do things your not comfortable doing. At least until you get used to it.
