    XS1100 dirt bike

    Saw this on eBay this evening. Pretty scary, you wouldn't catch me off road on that monster. Come to think of it you wouldn't catch me on that bike anywhere. I wish there was a better picture of the rear suspension.

    And no front brake, so I don't know about where it is, but I suspect that in most states it's not actually street legal like they state it is since every state I know of requires front brakes on street legal bikes. But besides, I wouldn't want to ride a dual sport without a front brake.

      Look at the angle of the swingarm! It is at a 45 practically!

      Looks awesome though!

        You won't get very far off road without an air filter on that contraption.

            Got those numbers switched around there Steve, its 104hp. Still very doubtful.

              I'm thinking a little more aggressive tread would be desired for offroad use
              He says it comes with the front brake parts at least..
              It's too new in Ohio, and I think most places, to be without turn signals.
