Description

Barn Find! 1979 Yamaha XS1100 Standard. This bike has been sitting in a barn since 2003 before it came into my shop in 2008. I got the bike running and it shifted through all of the gears well. I may have ridden the bike for 50 miles after I got it running. The bike had a hesitation off of idle and I pulled and cleaned the carbs. The carbs has never had gas back into them as I was injured at work the next day and the bike has sat in my shop since.
These bikes were labeled as 1100s not only for the displacement but they were capable of an 11.0 second Quarter Mile! These were the forerunner of the SUPERBIKES! Cycle Magazine had this to say of the Eleven: "...the XS is a Rolls Royce with a blown Chrysler Hemi motor..." That is because these bikes has the Hemi Head design!!!! You can actually say that you "RIDE" a Hemi! The bike has a Kerker header and comfort grips. These bikes are great to be made into Cafe Racers. The carburetors have been cleaned and has not had any gas to them. The gas in the tank will need to be drained as I am not capable to work on bikes any more do to my health. The bike does not show any signs of road rash to indicate that it was ever laid down. This bike is ready to be serviced, olished and ridden.
This bike is SCARY F A S T !!!! And NOT for people with heart conditions!
