XS11 changes and clean up

edit

Discussion for improvements to the XS11 page.

There are a few things that stand out.

The categories are a bit awkward. For instance, the history section has reviews in it. Perhaps a "Reception" section would be a better fit for reviews.

There are some misleading statements and historical inaccuracies related to the XS1100. The XS1100 was very enthusiastically received by the motorcycling press at the time. This impression does not clearly come across in the page. For example, there seems to be an impression created by the current entries that it handled terribly. This is not the case. Period sources indicate that the handling of the bike was not much worse than other UJM's of the time, In fact some reviews praised it's high speed handling. Most reviewers did not dwell on the handling and usually found it's positive attributes far out shined it's minor handling deficiencies.

Photographs of the XS11 could use updating and improving.
