XS1100 0 Posted January 13, 2012 To be honest your would better off with a 600 Bandit or Fazer but I know what you mean .I bought a XJ550 a few year back as a streetfighter YICS motor was good in there day but what a horrid thing it was after using a 600 bandit for a year before.

Tony nitrous 0 Posted January 13, 2012 If that was in AU id be onto it like a fat kid with a cupcake,Not keen on its current build, but it hasthe potential to be a real monster.The aircooled GSX11 motors are a legend.Turbo's, Nitrous, 1498 big bore's, the onlylimit is your wallet. There's a reason theyruled the drag strips for so long.It also has the potential to be a "classic".The Kat's, ET, EX, EF, etc have a huge following.I bought a similar ET to use alongside my b-King and Hayabusa. On paper the other two should be waaaaay better bikes, in reality youcant quote "fun and class" on a spec sheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
