      Very nice bike but too much money for me. For 5 grand I would get something else, Maybe 2 or three really nice xs11's. I dont think these bikes need anymore power, plenty of power for me.

          Probably

          I'll bet the reason for selling is because first and second gear needs the "dremmel fix".

            when the xs11 came out in 78, it was the fastest that year.
            but only by tenths of a second.
            if a good rider was on the kz1000 and a soso rider on the xs
            the kz could beat the xs out on the street
            maybe the kz got a quicker start or what ever.
            but if one installed a turbo on the xs, then there was no doubt
            who was quicker, once the xs hooked up, the acceleration must have been
            fantastic
            good reason for the turbo
