Just read on another forum about a bloke who has 25 CVO Harleys, but only insures two of them to ride!

A sad end to a great rider. RIP Marco.

Living in Birmingham (for my sins!) and working in the Cotswolds. Have owned 4 XS 650s in the past but currently riding Shadow 1100 or Triumph Speedmaster 80miles per day commute. Always planning the next bike (which will be an XS).

49 but look about 23 due to riding every day for the last 20 odd years!

I had the spin on filter set up on my bike. Great mod and would definitely do the same with my next XS.

I have heard this as well and spoken to an owner who had done it with minimal fuss.

Is looking good. I am looking forward to future posts.

I had a Bandit master cylinder for my front brake on my last XS and that made a difference to the power i.e. it actually stopped the bike!

Hello from Birmingham:) Nice chop.

I have no problem with chopped, bobbed or stock XS's. It was a chopped XS that first got me into them and none of mine have been stock for very long. Although the mods made were to improve the handling more than the looks as the standard 'Specials' didn't handle that well with the original swing...

This was my last XS, sold about 2 years ago to pay for a tattoo backpiece! Was one of three bikes at the time and so I let it go. It had lots of work done to it, handled well and was relatively fast. Only thing was I rode it like a maniac everywhere, which isn't my usual riding...
