I was forced to sell my custom '03 (US spec) XX to pay some important bills back about 8 years ago. Didn't think after being away from riding all those years I'd be getting back into it. Got the urge again to ride and bought a new left-over Kawasaki Ninja 1000 (1000sx outside the US)a great and fun bike.
I kept thinking how much I missed my '03 XX and how I wished I was in a financial position to have kept it.
So......I started looking for one through different sources and found one in the Detroit, Mich. area , about 11 hours drive from my home near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Bike is a 2001 model in factory red metallic, has only 13,215 original miles on it (not bad for a 17 year old bike), came with new tires, Heli-bar handlebars, full Akrapovic exhaust and a Corbin "Smuggler" solo seat.
No crash damage but a few scratches and a small crack on the right side of the tail section. All for $4300 USD and the owner transported it to my location!
I've got big plans for it and it'll be similar in a lot of ways to my last XX, except this one will be a nice medium blue metallic with a decent amount of silver metallic painted sections as well.
I'm looking forward to the build and can't wait to show pics of the completed project .
I also purchased some Euro accessories for my last XX and hope to rely on members here to provide me with the information to obtain these accessories ( like the aluminum chain guard with "CBR 1100 XX" cut into the side)
Cheers,
Steve
