Default honda x11

anyone had one i've seen a couple today fugly as sin but i dig them real brutish look and look's big and comfy in comparison to the 650 and it's £2500 so a straight swop for the sv could be on the card's really tempted.

Horrible standard aren't they? If you can live with the looks its only the poor Honda linked brakes that would worry me.

I like this one. Lovely exhausts. Dumped the tacky rad plastics and a good lick of paint.

Errrrr under the tacky plastics are horrible metal bits, so no better, awesome machine though, and fortunately the view from the saddle is so much better.

definately not a "look back at" bike when you walk away.

Cheers Mark.

t'is ugly i must admit it's between this a bandit1250 or a sprint st but the sprint's gonna be at least another £2k on top of either the bandit or the honda.

Bloke at work bought one and I loved it. His had a bellypan which made a good difference to its looks (as it did with my SV when I had it). he ended up taking his back to the garage and giving it up as in his words it had a 'slack gear box' I love them!
