May well stick to my Hornet yet as it is a great all rounder with a bigger front sprocket it still has plenty of get up and go. The seat height is the main issue, I have already carved 40mm out of it's throne, may look at a lowering kit.
Maybe I need one of these

the torture machine would be good too.
I think they did a 900/1000cc version of the original XV with the monoshock rear end.... motor is the same though apart from CC in the 750/900/1000/1100 versions.
What did your mate 'hate' about the 1100? I found it a reasonable machine, and certainly far better than the Evo Sportsters HD started producing back then.
