Title: XN85 does anyone remember ?
Post by: GSXKING on Wednesday, 19 November 2025, 08:17 AM
We've had an XN85 come through our quarantine facility and until it was cleared I couldn't get near it.
See pics below.
It's quite an interesting story albeit fairly short lifespan.

1153 made now I've seen two.
Tony Armstrong from Springwood Suzuki owned one for many years until recently and someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse, so it was taken out of his collection.

All that complication for 70-80bhp, you'd get that from a cooking 650 starter bike these days. Shows how tech has progressed.
