    So when you're traveling how can you do you know where THE 1101 is? A 1100 doesn't quite exactly define it.

      Actually, the XS1100 has an 1102cc engine from the factory, so the street is always 1 behind......

        I'm not usually a fan of custom bikes, but I particularly like the paint job and the wire wheels.

            I'm afraid I'd get a little too wet trying to ride over there, not from rain mind you...

              Radius squared = 71.5 ÷ 2 = 35.75 x 35.75
              = 1278
              X
              Stroke. = 68.6
              = 87.675
              X
              π. 3.142
              = 275.475
              X
              Number of cylinders = 4
              =. 1101.9
              So it's not actually 1102 is it? I mean, it's clearly moulded in to the cylinders isn't it!Why would the manufacturer say it's 1101 if it's not?
