The complete XS1B I bought a couple of months back is definately a XS1B, no doubt about it - frame and engine numbers are matching at S650-0085**
Everything else on it seems to match this except maybe the lower fork yoke.
I also have another frame plus a pile of cycle parts which will build up into a nice period bitsa, but will never resemble a 100% original bike.
Frame number on this one is S650-0127**
I don't have an engine for it yet.
Now does that frame number make it XS1B or XS1F ?
XS1B frame numbers start at S650-007101 and go upto S650-025383 apparently.
XS1F frame numbers start at S650-010101.
So does this mean that anything with a number after this could be either ?
Or am I misunderstanding something quite obvious ?
This might seem a little pedantic but I'd like to know exactly what I've got my hands on.
Neither (according to my information) the XS1B or the XS1F were ever sold in the UK, so it's obviously been imported from somewhere
