I had an XS1 for 15 years..with out the stupid electric start and ugly disc brake. You don't need the starter...shit, mine would start idling while I was trying to find compression. Carbs are shit, put something else on. The XT750 swingarm is mush beefier, but you'll never find one, but even an RD swingarm is better. I think the XS2 has a split top yoke, the XS1 didn't, so welded on tabs and cut the yoke, then knurled the stauntions. I think the basic handling is pretty good, they just go out of shape a bit if you push them. A speedwobble at 95 mph makes a mess of the seat cover.
