MSRP on a 2009 Scion xB is $15,750. I don't know if they're actually selling at that price or if you have to pay more though.

You can get xB's for the MSRP right now. granted the base model is pretty bare-bones but you can buy it at that price.

IIRC, the Kawi touring bike (Voyager) was a 6 cylinder. Never really took off but not exactly rare either. I didn't know they made a cruiser/stripper version of it though but I'm not really surprised.

There's enough Voyagers around that if mechanical parts were needed for a resto of this they probably would be pretty easy to dig up.

I took a look at it today. It looks to be a project that's just getting passed from person to person, and unfortunately, I don't have time/space/money for a bike that has a littany of unknown problems from POs. That said, the bike was loving enormous. Even bigger than I was expecting. It didn't feel all too heavy tipping it upright from the kickstand - the upside of having a giant goddamn motor set low in the frame.

O/T I don't suppose you'd have any pics or sound clips, TL?

I was wondering what the hell he meant by "shaved bed" but I think I saw one of those trucks with these little hooks just under the lip of the bed. Maybe he ground 'em off, and now wrongly believes it's a selling point. Yes, I want to give you more money for this truck after you've reduced the usability of the bed.

Or maybe that was a LUV...

Ok, so you have the coin for a 383 conversion, a "Stage 2 shift kit" :wtc:, but no time or money to get it tuned? Sure, I'll be right over. :rolleyes:

He says it has a blower. Where is the pulley for it? And 430 hp from a 383 with a blower is pretty loving lame... You can easily get 400 from a NA 383.

I think it's just a tunnel ram, which is a tuned intake that raises the carb/air cleaner way up. You can put a butterfly set on it, like this guy did, and it looks like a blower to the untrained eye/ear. Usually, however, it fools passersby, and not the owner.

Yeah, in that particular car's case, "blower" = "butterfly scoop on a carb". Seconding the fact that 400hp out of a 383 most certainly does not require a supercharger, and if you're resorting to one on a 383, you had better be looking at 550-600hp, not 400. The 383 plus any decent set of heads (just about anything equivalent or better than L31s or L98s) and a fat cam will hit 400 no problem.
