Mysentiments exactly. I can't stand the riding position more than a few minutes. But to be honest with you most younger guys can't either. I've friend that has a 1000 cc Gixxer. He rides with us about 45 minutes and has to take a break. As far as I'm concerned that's a worthless bike.

Dunno about you but I'll always have an Eleven in the stall. They are just great bikes...period. As a matter of fact I gotta make a run to Reno to pick up Zilla. Mr. Matt says he's back in one piece and ready to ROLL! WooHoo!!!!

[bandet01]

the xs1100 is my first bike but if i was going to get a newr bike i was looking at the vmax or the kaw 1200

[MAXIMAN]

Well don't jump on a Max just yet. I hear rumors they are going to redesign it.

[bandet01]

well i might waint for the redesign or are they going to disconut it since it has been the same bike for so long

I love my XS1100H, but as far as new bikes go; I really had my eye on the Yamaha FJR1300, but here recently I have been really drawn to the Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. That is one slick looking bike and every review I have read about it praise its power, handling, and braking.

Since I sometimes ride with a local Star Riders chapter I'm familiar with the Warrior, the only cruiser with an aluminum frame. There's a couple in the chapter with matching Warriors. The wife has aftermarket pipes and air kit and her bike really rocks. Dunno how it'd fair against an XS11 though, haven't ridden with them since I got mine.

Funny, I've got a bone stock XS1100SF. He he he hehehehHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH!!!!!! Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

Well Mike...if it is a stock warrior and the rider is mediocre in skill you should readily thump him. After all ...it's just a V-Twin..

However I've seen some Warriors tricked out that are putting well over 100 ponies to the pavement. So you'll have to know what you're up against.

Hey there Kenobi, also have an XS 1100H and love it. Also have the Honda ST, and ahave ridden the FJR1300. The FJR is an awesome bike, falling into the super tour class. It will stand up on one wheel in any of the first three gears with a swist of the throttle, no clutch! You sit in a little of an attack position, not bad, but not the best as it is not a nuetral position for long distance, least not in my opinion. At 145hp, ceramic lined cyl. etc., it is quick for a sport touring bike. My ST at a 110horse is plenty, and with the Corbin tour seat, bar riser-extentions, makes for a good, comfortable long distace bike, and at 48-53mpg at 80-85mph with two-up, it's plenty for me, rated at 0-100@11sec.(FJR 0-100@7.4sec.) With all that, my 81H still has the best nuetral riding position with the king-queen seat, and gold-wing style bars. (I'm sure having the rode pegs also plays a part for the XS 1100 being comfortable too.)

Well Bonnie's a pretty good rider. Last time I saw her she just had air, exhaust and rejet. She's gotta weigh 250 lbs., I only weigh 150. No telling what she's done to her bike by now though, she's got a real need for speed.

[MAXIMAN]

Sounds likie she has a real need for torque too.
