‘For straight line comfort and effortless speeding, there’s little to match it,’ said Bike magazine summing up its first encounter with Yamaha’s XS1100 behemoth back in 1978. Nowadays, a machine weighing in excess of 600lbs, producing 66.5ft/lbs of torque and with a top speed of more than 130mph (a ‘Super Cruiser’ in today’s terminology) would scarcely raise an eyebrow, but with that specification 30 years ago, the XS1100 seemed to have come from another planet. The ultimate transcontinental mile-muncher of its day, the XS1100 featured shaft drive, twin overhead camshafts, triple disc brakes, alloy wheels, electrical accessory power outlet, adjustable suspension, fairing mounts and a surprisingly extensive tool kit. Equipped with leading-link fork and smaller-than-standard rear wheel, this XS1100 outfit is offered from a deceased’s estate and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot. No reserve.
