You obviously like UGLY then!

Nice motor, I have always liked Blackbirds, (and may end up buying one in the near future to replace my old CBRthou), but the X11 is really ugly.
But because nobody likes 'em, you do get a lot of bike for not much money, (bit like the Falco in that respect), just don't look in any shop windows whilst you're driving through town!

It's one of these 'flawed' bikes. I've always liked it. Ugly? Kind of Buell 1125CR lookalike. So... yes, ugly. :smt003

Has to be quick with that motor Steve. It's a big motor with lots of grunt.
The ZRX was the looker, (I've always liked 'em), the X11 is the goer. Only person I actually know who had one reckons it handles great as well.
Then again, as before, it is a Blackbird with it's kit off.
