"Up for sale is a great condition XS Eleven, or as commonly known, Xcessive Eleven.
Apart from minor changes to be listed below, this bike is in original condition as sold in 1978

This bike would suit those looking for a truly classic or retro look for either collecting or simply to enjoy on the weekends.
Would also be eligible for historic registration.

It has recently been in for service and tuning, with the engine running well and starting easily.
Tires are at 80% with deep treads and has valid rego expiring Aug 2014.

Non-original parts;
- Handlebars
- Side Mirrors
- Custom Seat
- Additional (small) headlights "

I didn't realise the E model was released in 1978 with 1982 forks on them, slotted front discs, or a 4-1 exhaust????
