Hi Gang!
Chuck From Seattle here. I just purchased the XJ and it had only 13500 miles on it. I had a 1980 XS1100 from 1981 to 1990 and I'm happy to be a maxim owner again.

I guess I've been lucky. With my red one, I've averaged 36-38mpg. I just bought the black one with the dynojet kits and won't get a chance to ride it till I get home around October/November, but the PO said he averages around 38-40mpg.
