XS11 in Classic Mechanics
This is about the third time the magazine has featured XS1100's. Anorak me probably has copies of the last two times kicking around the house somewhere....

I had just purchased a 1979 Laverda Jota 1000 when I was exposed to my first XS11. Never got a chance to race one. I am sure the 11 would smoke it in the 1/4 mile. Not sure about top end though. I hit an observed 147mph on my Jota on a cool summer morning about 6am. Unfortunealy it was observed by the New Mexico State Police. That one set me back $300 + court costs, alot of bucks back then!!!!
When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g HardbaggerComment
