  • Whats wrong with this picture...

    Found in a toy shop yesterday, while on business in another town.

    1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)
    2000 XJR1300. The Real modern XS11. Others are just pretenders.

    Woman (well, my wife anyway) are always on Transmit and never Receive.

      They wanted to make sure one of those cylinders was getting good exhaust flow I guess!!! Hey, a littel "Artistic License" is to be expected.

            The wrong box, and as it's an XS11, the wrong forum.

            Hi Brian,
            the model looks to be an XS11SG except the megaphones are a lot longer than the ones on North American models.
            The title on the box is mixed up. An XS750SE would be a 1978 not a 1980.
            So what's wrong?
            The post is in the wrong forum, the model is in the wrong box and the box title has a typo.
            Didja buy it?
            Is it the prize?
            Do you need my mailing address?

              What!? You've never seen a XS11 'frankenbike'...

              It's mostly a special, but the headlight ears were rusty so the PO painted 'em black, custom paint on the tank (none of the specials had graphics), and couldn't find a good special exhaust but did find a nice standard one...

              Somebody here owns this bike

              Ok, the 'paperwork' is suspect, but that wouldn't be the first time for that either..
