Description from the seller
Offered without reserve price: 1981 Yamaha XS1100 – The Iconic "Eleven"
For sale is my 1981 Yamaha XS1100. This is the legendary shaft-driven super-tourer of the early 80s, famous for its massive torque and comfortable cruising. I have already purchased a new Adventure (ADV) bike, so this classic is ready for its next owner.
Recent Maintenance & Value:
Refurbished Clutch (2025): Just completed with brand new clutch springs for smooth, reliable power delivery.
New Tires (2023): Fresh rubber installed front and rear with plenty of tread remaining.
New Battery: Installed and holding a strong charge.
Mileage: 91,000 km.
Included Extras:
New Clutch Cable: Included as a fresh spare/replacement.
Full Gasket Set: A complete gasket kit is included (excluding the clutch cover gasket, which was used for the recent refurb).
Condition & Potential:
The bike is in good overall condition and serves as a fantastic foundation for a classic enthusiast. To get it 100% road-ready and running at its peak, the carbs need a standard cleaning and the valve clearance should be checked and adjusted.
This is a great opportunity to own a powerful Japanese classic where the most important wear-and-tear items—the tires and the clutch—have already been addressed

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
