    XS1100 in 2014 advertising

    My Oct 2014 copy of Motorcyclist came in the mail today.

    This is one of the full page ads.


    It looks like an XS11. Which one of you hipsters does it belong to?

    I bet it makes for a great dirt bike!

      Dirt

      I've had a little experience there. Not good in the dirt, at least not with the rubber side in the air.

            I agree. Knobby tires are a poor choice on our beloved motorcycle. Some XS models may wear them better.

              Besides, with no front fender, I bet that beard fills up with armadillo shards and cow dung quick.

              Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh. The helmet looks kinda cool.

                    Really? An XS11 isn't bad in the dirt, as long as you don't slow down...or try to turn...or try to stop. Other than that, it's golden.
