I am currently looking at this bike here:

(No, I don't like the faring too much either)
The seller describes it as "rustic but healthy" - which may also capture some of the guys on this site I reckon .
I have never come across the XS1100 before so I would like a bit of guidance. Looking at it, I get the impression of something weighty and dated in a way that is just about coming into fashion. Doubtless considered a bit sporty in its day, it still will give good service. That's my impression, based on nothing but a glance at a picture.
So how would you sum it up?
I can't find a "tips for buying a used model" on the forum, so anything on this much appreciated too.
