Thank you very much Bob.

The real question though.. Does this FJ dump gas all over your balls if the tank bag isn't on?

"Sure, Tod.. take a ride on my FJ" *Giggle giggle, snicker..

I just died laughing reading this!!

If you didn't have to ride it on one wheel Tod, you would have been just fine. And who knows, I probably did you a favor, killed all those little critters you had running around down there.

Funny stuff!

This puts me in mind of a question I've always had about multiple bikes. The guys I know with more than one working bike tend to turn all of them into the same bike...sporty, or cruiser, or bobber, or two-wheeled sofa. It seems more useful to have a sporty and a cruiser and a slab-eater and not try to have an all in one. Fairing/hardbag bikes are not the best canyon carvers, and a long slab trip is a killer on a crotch rocket. Do most of you have three different bikes, or three versions of the same one?

I would say that is one thing that makes the XS such an awesome bike. It does it all relatively well. It is certainly fast enough, nimble enough in the corners, you can load it up for a week long camping trip. My FJ is much faster and handles a little bit better, but.. it isn't as versatile as the XS.

As quoted by most all bike mags in past yrs. "does it ALL well"= Honda ST1100............you asked.

As stated, the XS doesn't do poorly, considering the engineering design at the time. Goes FAST in a hurry, TURNS and STOPS..........just no two at once.

I made mine sporty enough to be a show-stopper. I have a few modern bikes, and the next oldest are '86 Seca Turbos. So, I enjoy the attention mine gets, and the lower torque it puts out versus the 14k redline of the other modern bikes.
