          Actually plenty of guys here I believe have had those bikes.So you should be able to get info from them. You may want to have it moved to other bike discussion area though.
          Congrats on your new find.

              Not quite a 400

              This is the XS360 that I built my wife. Pretty close to the same bike, though. These are great little bikes!

              Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

              Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson
