Yamaha XS 1100 Sport
After the XS1100, the XS1100. (In some circles it is known as 'Sport'; however you call it there is no difficulty in distinguishing it from the early model, for it has an all-black finish and a small fairing, or big cowling, around the headlamp.) Brought into Europe for the 1981 season, this big Yamaha was fundamentally unchanged from the original. The engine still put out 95bhp but handling, claimed the makers, had been improved with new rear-suspension units with four-way damping control, and a leading-axle front fork using air pressure up to 15psi. New too on this latest 'Excess' were what Yamaha called italic-spoke wheels, in which the spokes are curved to promote a 'look fast when standing still' look.
