I'd consider trading mine for a Honda CBX in good condition. I can easily lift mine and everyone says the 6 cylinder Honda is the beast.

Ah, CBX's, I scavenged a ride on one a few years back, the 6 headers and 'out there' cylinder block look fantastic. Performance no different from XS11's or GSX11's though, a bit more revvy than an XS, in cold reality, if doing reasonable milages, keeping the damn thing tuned is gonna eventually turn into a mission, 6 carbs, those keihin carbs are piston type CV design, over complex and dodgy on reliability, had the same carbs on my 750k, (couldn't afford a glitzy CBX back then - probably still can't today either
) with 24 valves, and, alarmingly, - 24 shims to adjust! The motor's aren't as bulletproof as the 4 cylinder opposition either, I even saw one blow it's motor to shreds on a missed gearchange during a production bike race
also heard other poor reliability stories..
