It never ceases to amaze how you guys can pick up '03 XX with only 750 miles on it ! .................. I do that in less than a week commuting !

|  From the windy city. I too used to own a V65 Sabre. Nice bike. Strong motor. I had the faring and bags. Great sport tourer. I can remember smoking by many (insert the motorcycle manufacturer of your choice here) sport touring machine. I didn't like the shaft drive and the XX is faster, handles better and looks a lot better. Sounds like you got a great deal as well. Enjoy the XX.

Hi everybody. The guy had the bike for three weeks (750 miles) when he got rearended at a traffic light. This was his first bike and after collecting the price of the repairs from insurance he put it in is garage not fixed. I was talking with some friends about prefering big bikes and this guy tells me to come and check this cbr 1100 with some damage at his house. Rear wheel is cracked, cans are bent, left fairing and left mirror damaged. Everything else is imaculate. After spending $1200 on e-bay and $300 at Honda I have a $4000.00 Blackbird with 750 miles that rides perfect.
