  • One Heck of a Big Bore Kit

    Can't ever seem to link to ebay auctions, so here's the item number:

    Ebay item # 120278760952

    I guess the 11 in this XS11 is just a name. Some uneducated buyer is not going to be too happy when they win this one.
    1980 XS 1100 Standard
    1980 XS 1100 Special
    1982 XJ 1100
    1972 Honda CB 350

        seller: Lonnies Junk.

        63,000 miles...
        missing starter button... like we've never heard that one before!
        yeah.. buy it now for $1,800.
        reserve price not met(nor will it ever be)
        might be a nice bike, but a similar machine can easily be obtained for half the price. (without the white seat)

          It IS all about the white seat. Wouldn't be white like with me on it and my greasy old jeans.

            Wow!!

            and I was impressed by Thor's 1500 and Dan Hodges' 1311....

            That IS something!

              Hey Jessie,

              You gonna send the guy a message about his Faux Paux??

              Or....do you want me to drop "my pathetic title" in a message to him, that may or may not get him to realize his mistake, coming from a place of "false importance"?

                Add purple tassels to the grips and it would look strikingly similar to my step-daughter's bike.

                  Having just done an oil change on mine, I'm reminded of the 3000cc label by the oil fill. This moron thinks the oil capacity is the displacement of the engine...

                    I did email him and he has since revised the ad. Only he forgot to change all the stuff about 3000cc he just changed the motor size box. Oh well, I tried to help.

                          I mailed him too. I sensed a bit of agitation in his response that I wasn't the only one who noticed

                            at least is only a 50/50 lie

                            under engine size he does have 1100...unless he changed it since you started the thread.

                            just in his discription it is 3000cc........geez a bike that big you could do some serious damage.....
