    I don't know how many SF's were produced. But I do know that the sf is a 79 special. F- being the model year, and S- being the special. I'd have to think that there were alot more then 1200, Being that here in South Dakota I know of around 9 just in Sioux Falls, 6 in Rapid City, and several more in Ia, and Mn.
    I think that in the General Info column ther is a break down of the models verses years, Like 1977 the XS was tested as, and presumed to be a XS1000. That's what blew the public away because it out performed everything in the 1000 class. During the unvailing, the maufacturer also revieled that it was accually an 1102. The modle tested was the fist 1100 and it was an E model.
    79 came the F model and a new sportier Special ( SF ). 80 came the G model, along with the ( SG ) and something new. A dressed up special with a few mods called the midnight special. 81 brought the H model with the others, ( special, midnight special ) and the last year of production. 82 started the XJ models which had basically the XS motor but there were a few different mods. Now, depending on what state/country these motorcycles were sold in will also regulate how the year is listed on the title. Year of manufacture or year of first sold. I had a 69 Cougar convertable but it was listed as a 70. Any body who knows anything about older cars knows that there were differences in body styes between those two years
    If any info I put here is not correct, then Please someone correct me and also accept my appologies.

      XJ

      The XJ was produced till 1984 for the Canadian market,just so you know. It had a lot more electrical systems to have trouble with in my opinion. I will have another xs some day soon but not an XJ..........................MITCH
