Been offered a X11 at a very good price, the only reason I haven't got it already is that I dont really have the room for 4 bikes.
Cant part with ZRX,
The Harley isnt really mine,
Just got the 12R the way I want it.
:hmm:

:idea:

I'll buy a shed!
:happy:

The X-11 is a bloody good bike. I almost bought one when i was playing with Blackbirds. A couple of mates have them & when modded,theyre a monster bike. They go like f**k as standard tho . . . and you CAN make them look nice too. First you have to junk those awful radiator shrouds. . .

Dont be misled by the "naked Blackbird" tag though. They are a completely different bike & are certainly not a naked Blackbird. Its like saying a ZRX is a naked ZZR1100 - theyre THAT different. There are only a handful of parts that are shared between the 2 models & if memory serves,its the wheels,the horrible linked brakes,the silencers,the fork legs & the basic engine block & crankcases.

Different frame,swingarm,tank,seat,bodywork,rear suspension,clocks,exhaust,yolks,rad etc. Engine detuned to 134rwbhp different head with smaller valves,smaller throttle bodies,lower compression & softer cams & only 5 gears in the gearbox. Its a stompmiester though & does have a sense of urgency about it when youre in the mood. . . ha ha yeah,good old bikes . . .:biggrin:
