I actually have a friend that has three excess 11's, the first time I ever saw a XS650 was at a XS rally that he invited me too. I've ridden his XS11 Midnight Special and it's a fun bike. Another reason I'm kind of leaning toward the chopper is because it's very suited to this bike, it's a copy of the old brit twins that got chopped a lot. If I turn it into a tracker or a cafe it's always going to be underpowered, if I turn it into a chop it's not a problem if it's slow and vibrates.
