GazzyG Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 FJR was just too good all-round, so decided to get rid and get back to basics with an old school beast. 1981 XS1100 Midnight Special. Bought her from an enthusiast who looked after her very well. I hope to do him justice, but at the same time this bike is going to get RIDDEN. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I ran an XS1100 back in the day and enjoyed it greatly. The rubber frame was an 'experience' when battering on...... Great bike, took the wife and I all over Britain and Ireland, including a dash from Galway to Belfast (about 180mls) to catch a ferry with only 3 cylinders going. Diagnosed a cracked coil when back home, and I would love another one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyG Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Cheers guys! Really enjoying it thus far. A sturdy beast of a machine. The acid test will be Friday when I take it on a long tour of the continent, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
