      Yes, it was a shame. I needed a deposit for my house and had to sell. I actually had a lump in my throat when the buyer took the bike away and I couldn't watch him ride off! I still miss this bike though. I believe that teh fairing was the best for this model of XS1100... it gave great protection but didn't look boring.

        Thanks for sharing that James. I have seen many of the other write ups on the XS11 but that was new to me. Perhaps there are more write ups that are Euro related that we have not seen as of course, this is a predominately US/Canadian site. If you happen on any more I would appreciate seeing them.

          Be not stingy in what costs nothing as courtesy, counsel and countenance.

            I would have loved a better look at the giant tank. I just came across a company that is selling them for xs's the other day.
            That is selling giant fuel tanks?
