Hi:
I'm a new member in the forum and I live in West Florida.
A million years ago, around 1970, I was riding my 1967 Triumph when I saw an XS for the first time. To be honest, I looked at it with some irritation. The Japanese were copying my Triumph!
Then I saw the OHC design and the horizontal crankcase junction, and I was going through the roof with envy.
Being around friends with Triumphs have always prevented me from pursuing one of these beauties. I know it's idiotic but peer pressure is a powerful thing.
I plan to stick around to learn more about the different model years, etc. and maybe I will end up getting myself an XS at last!
