Description

This 1978 Yamaha XS1100 is a rewarding classic to ride, offering a torquey, relaxed character that suits long country runs and confident motorway cruising alike. The in-line four and shaft drive deliver a smooth, planted feel, while the weight and presence give a reassuring, substantial roadgoing experience.

Low recorded miles and careful presentation make this an appealing choice for collectors or weekend tourers. Exempt from road tax and MOT, it combines straightforward mechanical charm with real everyday usability for those who appreciate a traditional, well-sorted motorcycle.
