Hey All,

I am finally looking to move on from my 1980 GS550E cafe racer, and am thinking about purchasing an S1 or X1. I am always looking for rare, quirky things that no one has and tinkering on them. The fact its American makes it all the better! However, in this instance I am getting a bit nervous because the information online is really lacking on these. I get that production was only 15K total, but I figured there would be more knowledge out there since these are such enthusiast focused bikes. Anyway, my question is as follows: Between the S1 and X1, is there a big difference in reliability or the ability to find parts? I know that the X1 production number is twice as much as the S1. Also, the X1 has the upgraded version of the twin, similar to the S1W, and is EFI instead of carbs. I dont care about power, and carbs arent a big deal to me. I like the look of the S1 better, so I would prefer to buy one, but my biggest worry is finding parts if something were to break.

Also, would you recommend a site to find replacement parts?

Thanks!
Garrett
