    After 7 years and something over 50,000 miles I find myself with out an XS11. I sold her to someone that has the time to spend to bring her back to her former glory. She is planning on repainting the bike and doing some other work it needs. For a $700 barn find I have been happy to own her. I just find myself with out the time to spend on keeping her up. I was lucky enough to find a 2006 Connie with only 11,000 miles as a replacement. Like it so far but miss some of the the features of the XS11, like self cancelling turn signals. I think rode all the way thru Arkansas ........blink,blink, blink!!!
