is that a leather tank...cozey?

It looks remarkably clean, bet it will feel nice riding a fully faired bike. I seem to always end up buying bikes in the winter, but just means you're all ready to go when spring finally rolls around. Nice connection too with the previous owner also owning the XJ.

That’s gonna be a proper fiend. Congrats. Winter purchases are the best, gets you prepped for summer wandering.
That’s a European road killer.

@Nahguavkire only a couple so far. It’s still in the previous owner’s garage while I sort out my own storage issues.
Obligatory shot of the XJ because PLEASE!!! SOMEONE HELP ME! BUY IT!!!
@jambon I was offered it yesterday at a price I couldn’t refuse. Initially it was swap the XJ + cash, and then the friend just offered me the bike outright for a steal. The XJ’s previous owner actually owned it too, before the current person.
Anyway, it’s happened three months before I planned. I was gonna wait until springtime when I could sell easier and more bikes are available to test. Then, somehow, I bought a rocket-ship.
@Jung I only tested it for five minutes or so and around 90mph, but aside from the slippery seat it was hella comfortable.
Big jump in power and a bit in weight, but hopefully I can survive it!
