Production Numbers

[dbbrian]

Hello folks. First post - I searched a little but did not find if there is a listing of production numbers for each model.

Also did not see a introduction thread.

Not great at searching forums .

Thanks Greg. I did find that. Just wondering how many were made. For example, the 1978 XS1100E since I may have found one.

There is no definitive list. No one has ever published it that I am aware of. We just count the numbers in our own garages and smile when we see another one on the road.

78 VIN starts at 2H7 000101 and 79 VIN starts at 2H7 020101 so you could guess that anywhere between 1 and 20,000 were built.

And that's only the US ones!

I'll keep reading on here, you guys have put a lot of great info into this forum.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,
Welcome to the XS11.com. This topic has been discussed in the past with some guesses taken but no one seems to really know.
The rarest is the 81 H followed by the MNS ( that should get them going )

Close the loop

Just to close the loop on this thread since I bought a XS1100E...

My VIN is in the range of 2H7-1011xx - so over the 10,000 number.

Its a Canadian bike.

Mines 2h7-10144x with 43441 km's runs like raped ape she goes.

I think on the Canadian, and some other countries, the start number WAS 2H7-1XXXX. I know the US start number was 2H7-00101 for production. I did see SN 10103 about 10 years ago, owned by someone close to here. My first XS, a '78 delivered September of '77, was a 00254 SN.
