Up for sale is my beloved XS. I've owned this bike for a long time. When I purchased the bike, it was stock, I've done a lot of work and have had a lot of fun since then. The bike runes perfect. I know these bikes like the back of my hand. Just changed the oil, good to go for the spring season (and no, there wasn't any bits of the cam chain tensioner in the oil).

"new" means within the last year. Anything else listed is less than three years old.

This bike is solid, not some piece of shit labelled a "cafe racer" built by the last hipster to buy a set of clubmans. Nothing that I have done will you need to undo - I'm not /that/ previous owner.

Bike will include spare parts: front fender, extra exhaust system, oil filters, gaskets, spark plugs, etc

Don't hesitate to ask any questsions. I'm bummed to sell it, but I want a bigger bike for long distance rides, and I'm smart enough to know that I shouldn't own two.
