Very interesting. Look at how much area that motor takes up? |

No doubt it would be a fun ride. And I think it looks pretty cool. But look at the picture on page 47 and think...1950 technology. Also, you can get something similar today in the XR1200.

The one and only Harley I'd be interested in owning/ riding would be the XR750...

Anybody caught one of the XR-1200 Racing Series events? Really, really good racing. The riders all seem to be loving it too... http://www.vanceandhines.com/xr1200series/about.html $3500 turns your off the floor XR into a competitive racer..... http://www.vanceandhines.com/xr1200series/racekit.html Some great shots of the racing action under the "Media" tab on the header bar at the Vance and Hines site. |
