The X11 was never sent to the States. How about some info on it?

It was a short lived model sold between 1999-2002 but was panned by the critics for being ugly. Thats a matter of opinion but i suppose the standard ones can look a little plain. The one i got has some extras like screen, engine bars, rack and tank cover which add to its imposing stance, i think anyway. Its got a reworked fuel injected blackbird motor and cbs brakes. They removed one of the blackbirds balance shafts and one of the gears from the gearbox. It kicks out 135hp but can easily get to 140hp with exhaust and filter. Its seriously quick reputted to get to 60 in 2.9 secs.
I think it was before its time and would probably sell fairly well now.

The blackbird does 100km in 2.9 with 164 hp. Not sure the X11 would but who knows. It may be a little lighter than the bird maybe ?

Not according to this 0-100km/h (0-60mph) Acceleration ~Top10 over the past amature omnibuses~ - YouTube
The X11 was remapped for more torque lower down than the bird though.
