XS1100 for a record price.

[Hired_Goon]

Spotted this over here on Aussie ebay. A very tidy example going for an astronomical amount.

Bear in mind at the time of this post the AUD $6095 is approx $5066 USD with 18 hours to go.

Hey Goldcoast

Check your private messages.

[goldcoastguy001]

Yep just checked em' dpotter, thanks and no prob.
thats a nasty cough' you got there trbig i would get that checked ......lol.. but yes you caught me...the dyno proof that comes with the bike "actually' reads 110.354 bhp...... but i thought it fair to round it down rather than up. 1400 hits on the page and bout 50 something emails bout the bike.....lots of interest and a couple of clubs are after it....Im happy with the response, just not happy bout selling it, but when SWMBO says you or the bike, it doesnt leave much choice after all the latter abreviation does stand for "she who MUST be obey'ed).... oh well good excuse to get back into the other projects in the garage..

Ok, That went a bit pearshaped at the end.

What happened? did you kill bidder 6 or did he retract it himself???

[81xsproject]

THE BIKE, THE BIKE!!!!!! (One time divorcee opinion)

[goldcoastguy001]

Yep, I didnt like the feed back score of bidder 6 so i cancelled his/her bid, I can say one thing, that this will not be on ebay again......and the new owner......Oooops....did i just hint....off ebay offer/sale??.....lol.....Hey 81xs, yep that would be the only option but I cant cook that well and how do my clothes manage to clean themselves each week......mystery to me but it happens??......

[81xsproject]

We never did get to see that dyno report

[goldcoastguy001]

Dough! lol.......relisted on ebay........toooooo many people with the "want" but none have the "cash"......lol....Lets see for take two......by the way lets try this with no reserve!......

Makes me feel like I got a good deal on mine,
I got mine for $1400.00, the cheapest bike
in the trading post at the time, albeit it had around
90,000 ks, but had plenty of rego and
before I got hold off it it ran
like new, only spent money on cosmetics.
now if i can only fix the front wheel wobble
id b a very happy man.
