Smooth, comfortable and
luxurious, the eight-valve twin-cylinder XS500D demonstrates that $1550 still
buys an extra-ordinary motorcycle in these days of light and airy dollars.

The XS1 is a mount for the guy who doesn't go
for 750-and-up multis or the 350 that turns 10- jillion revs on the Interstate.

If it's peak horsepower they're after, one lap behind the 465 will quiet them.
