I think the only thing I'd seriously trade my XS for is another 1956 Ford F100 (my 1st vehicle when I turned 16). Sold it long ago and been sorry ever since.

My first vehicle was also a '56 F100...panel truck. It had been a Sears repair truck. Loved it 'til someone creamed it while it was parked. Replaced it with a similar '55. That one had overdrive, but was a 6 volt system, I think. Those trucks had style!

Funny thing - before I got bitten by the XS11 bug, whenever I went bike window shopping - I would look at what I would exchange my bike for - but since I've had my XS11 -and btw, I'm on my fourth one - I just start figuring where I would store 2 bikes, how much time for each, etc You trade your XS11 -you just get some accompanying toys!
Now that my XJ is decked out for camping and touring, it's
been getting equal riding time with my Bandit, and I can't
see doing without either of them.
You Bandit guys have me really taking a close look at those,was reading your posts Gary and checking out the extra's that are available,,but still leaning towards a Vmax, Actually want both,,,spoiled I will be then. Like the straight line hot rod, and like the twistys. Can't make up my mind.

You can't really go wrong either way, but, the
Bandit is so much lighter, turns goes and stops
in such a great way...
1/4 mile times/speeds are similar for similar
levels of stock/modified. Twisties? Same rider
can go and stop better on the Bandit. Better
rider on Mr Max will toast the inferior rider on
the Bandit.
But no denying the raw muscle-bike look
of Mr Max, nothin' like it.
first of all... I couldn't get enuf for it to get something I'd want... second of all... there is too much history....
