***1981 Yamaha XS1100
Midnight Special (1 of only 250 ever made!)***
Fall Special-Low reserve!
For sale is this
awesome Yamaha XS 1100 Midnight Special.
If you are unaware of how rare these actually are, you should probably
do some research before you bid. This is
one of only 500 ever, and one of only 250 for 1981! Not only one of the rarest production
Yamahas ever, one of the rarest production early Super-bikes as
well---EVER!!! Based on the company's
big XS1100 sport-tourer introduced in the late 1970s, the 1981 Yamaha 1100
Midnight Special motorcycle differs from other Super-Bikes of the era in having a
traditional Japanese inline four-cylinder engine rather than the trendy V-twin. It also featured shaft drive, likewise
carried over from the XS. While an
extended fork, teardrop tank, and stepped saddle made it clear this was a
cruiser, the double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine gave it powerful
performance unmatched by contemporary V-twins.
95 BHP and a blistering 112 MPH quarter mile time! Parts that would
normally be chromed were covered in "black chrome," such as the
exhaust pipes and handlebars, or "gold chrome," as were the
air-cleaner cover and rear grab rail. But while the cruiser
trend continued, Yamaha's various Midnight Specials had a fairly short run. And
in the case of the 1100, it was also a small run. With just 250 built
for 1980 and another 250 in 1981, they are rare commodities today. This one is all
original and un-restored, it runs great and has only 24000 miles showing on the
odometer. It’s not perfect but is a VERY
nice survivor. Tires are in great shape,
no leaks anywhere, no unusual engine noises, everything works as it should
including ALL electronics, and still has all of the original equipment. It does have some minor scratches in the
paint but there are no dents in the tank and no cracks in the side covers. Inside the tank is like brand new with zero
sign of any corrosion. Some of the black chrome is showing signs of pitting but nothing is rusty or rotted out. Feel free to call me in advance if you have any questions. Phil 724-866-2571 A $300.00 non-refundable deposit is required immediately upon completion of this auction. Balance can be paid in several ways,after this, based on our conversation. Thanks for looking and bid with confidence! |

Our Magnificent seven
Wed, 16 Feb 2011Remember to dust your Union Jacks down if you happen to be visiting any Grand Prix this year as we have no less than seven youngsters to cheer on in the junior Moto GP classes. I don’t think we’ve ever had this many ‘yoofs’ in the GP paddock so let’s hope they can do the business and bring an end to our long drought of Grand Prix titles. And that could be soon as Scott Redding is already a hot favourite for the 2011 Moto 2 championship on his Marc VDS Suter machine.
