yeah it's an xs1100 with tricked engine and
17 inch radial setup, original xs wheels being
skinny 130 crossply rear and 19 goddam inch skinny
front on lovely skinny flexy forks lol. These old
aircooled beasts weigh about three tons with about
twenty five foot wheelbase and weak wimpy brakes, and you had to hang your ass off the side to get the thing around any sort of corner and great dramas unfolded if you happened to hit a bump mid-turn..
This one with beefy forks, braced-up frame and more
modern stuff all-round handles and rides waay better
but the old tart is still a heavy fkn handful..
Modern carbon/titanium/ computered space-rockets
feel like wee pushbikes compared..
check out my other (shitty older quality -but hey..) vids hooning this musclebike thru the manawatu gorge and saddle roads too..
