The XS11 was one of the great motors. What a ridiculous waste.

I think it would be interesting to watch a motor "cease" up  ::)

Man you could make some good money selling squares!  Probably enough for a down payment on a new bike.

Be more fun to leave it filled with oil then pin the throttle back. Would last longer and make it more interesting.

I couldn't destroy any motorcycle for entertainment. Destroying something that was designed for enjoyment. It makes me wonder how many SOHC 4 bikes died that way. Maybe that's what bugs me about it the most. I try to make them live again, rather than kill them.  JMO.
