Nice. 13,000 KM's is barely broken in. Practically a new bike.
Looks like it's going to go for quite a lot.

I've always liked the Aussie model XS1100. I would have been nice if the ones we got were more like that. It seems like Australia gets all the best bikes...

Hi Geezer,
Looks very like the UK spec; I am sure that some of our experts will know better, but I don't see any obvious differences?

The most noticable difference is the engine color. US / Can models did not have black enging parts.

Yeah, I know I know. If it doesn't sell, I won't be dissapointed for sure. I'll find a way to keep them both, but I had to try.

Don't do it Mark!! You won't be able to win any more best xs awards at rallies..
Seriously, I'm sure it is a tough decision that you've thought long and hard about. But we can still try to talk you out of it eh?

Dean:
Absolutely.
It was part of the negotiation process not only with swmbo, but with myself when I decided to get a new bike. Like I said, if it doesn't sell, I'll deal with it. And I ain't givin it away!

Hi XS11SF,
As I said, it looks a lot like the UK spec; we got the Black engine too, and he "further back" footrests........

I got two yurp ones... both black engines.
That one looks pretty good... apart from the seat, the ungodly thing on the rear grabrail and those dents in the tank.
I would dare to say my spare parts one looks better... but it does have twice the kilometers... :P

PS: And for those that dont know... my parts bike became my main bike since it looks/runs/feels better than my old one...
If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.

Sorry mate, I prefer the other one. Besides, stock exhausts in good shape usually go for twice the price of a bike with non stock exhausts....Originally posted by mastan
