Bought my 1980 xs1100 special back in May, and just stumbled across this site! Thought I might as well join a forum dedicated to this awesome bike! Anything I need to know about this site? Tips? Also, how can I post a picture of my bike?

I wouldn't have thought to paint my bike that color, but it actually looks great that color. Nice bike.

Guy I bought it from painted it 2 years ago, and being a big mopar guy its "mopar sublime green." was going to buy it with the intent to repaint it, but since then it's grown on me, and it's a excellent paint job too. I really dig the color now, flashy and unique.80 SGComment

Welcome!, but I gotta ask...
The Kow or the Yam, what is your ride of choice??
Having ridden a LOT of bikes in my time, and getting to try a Duaval Saturday, I DO know my preference. I MAY be biased,
but then I'm on older bikes except for my beemer most of the time.

Haha! Well... There's a reason why the Kawasaki was sold and the old Yamaha is still with me! The new 750 was boring. Reliable yes, but slow, quiet, not as good looking.Originally posted by DiverRay View PostWelcome!, but I gotta ask...
