Mate,
you've only got to look around the site.
It's working out very well for so many already.
Not only are there more than a few XSs around but there is a lot of knowledge to go with them and it's being willingly shared around.
I think it's all positive and we are ensuring that this bike will be around for a long time yet.
My son said to his mother a while back, "When Dad goes, I'll help with the shed clean up and take the bike off your hands"
You could almost hear his mind ticking over "How bloody long do I have to wait for the old prick to die? I hope he doesn't prang the bike in the process".
Even he and his wife admit that it looks better than their two GSX 1000Rs.
