New addition
Morning all, I thought I would add to this group for the XN85 by letting you know that I am in the process of buying one, could be a lot of trouble let’s hope not.
Anyone already have one, I may need help and advice.
Hope to get it on the road quicker than it took to get the 250 katana going but that is running nicely now.
Wish me luck.

Re: New addition
Not bad at all ...new tubes shouldn't it be tubeless?
I enjoyed the one I rode , not really turbo but very linear ...best described as a turbo in a diesel set up not gti ..
That is to say extra power all through the range ...however the boost gauge is addictive

Re: New addition
I was looking at that, I think you got a bargain, these bikes are really rare.
I used to have a Yamaha XJ650 Turbo, which I loved, and now they are really rare too (both were rare to start with).
Be good to hear how you get on with this one!
