I would think its an import
Very tidy (wish my old standard scrubbed like that one) but not my cup of tea. looks like an XJ hybrid?

Yup....XJ, not XS

Any of you guys have any experience with those? Up here i Denmark they are very very rare to see, any idea why? Short production, bad construction or just plain ugly?  ;D

More or less the same as the XS, so still very solid. By the time they came out the rest of the bike world had moved on to GSX1100's and the like. There were better bikes than the XJ for new bike buyers.
