@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!
