    Looking for another XS

    I am getting back into biking and I want another XS1100. I posted in the want adds, but I know not everyone looks there. I want a running XS1100 Special, preferably black, and I have $1200. I live in Tacoma but am willing to travel as long as I can ride it home.

        Judging from the work and parts he is putting into the build, the price will be more than $1200.
        However;


        Bit of a ride, but hey, it's still summer.

                        I might be interested in that one, but I just found one in decent condition, Im going down tomorrow to check it out.

                        It is apparently in good condition, needs new carb boots and some other rubber. Gas tank/side covers are red, so I will be looking for a black gas tank and covers if I buy it
