I'm on my good 'ol XL500 dirt bike out for a ride and pass a trailer house with a peice of artwork out on a carpet in the front yard. I immediately determine it is an XS11. I go back when the owner is home and meet another XSive rider. He has an '80 special with only 10k miles on it, garaged the whole time. It had a new travelcade seat on it and everything was original. It was my first experience with a XS11 special. The engine sounded better than mine and he had a lot of exhaust pressure - more airflow than my bike. (compression?) The bike felt more cramped but lower to the ground. The exhaust note was different too.
I told him if he ever wanted to get rid of it (he is thinking of a GoldWing for extended traveling) to call me first. He is the original owner. And best of all, he lives right here in my home town!
