Default Xr1200

I think this bike looks sick, could be my personal taste as I like the Cafe racer look.

Too bad it's only available in Europe.

Too bad they had to stick that big fugly oil cooler on the port side down-tube. I think they coulda done better than that, from a design perspective.

John 1:14

It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the LORD.
----Abraham Lincoln

Maybe they will have some small details worked out when it makes its way over to the states... whenever that may be

So I don't get it.
How come an American made Sportster is sold only in Europe?
Can anyone please explain that to me.

I rode a pal's XR-1000 a few years ago. Looked cool but didn't feel any faster than a well tuned Sportster.

That's because it wasn't any faster than a regular Sportster. All Harley did was dress up a Sporty to look like a cafe racer and see if anyone would buy them. Any tuning that they did was fairly negligable. Turns out not many people did even though it was a cool looking bike. I would have bought one if I'd had the money at the time.

So what's the deal with this bike other then the upside down forks and big honking mufflers? Can't you make your own version with a stock XL1200 and a Storz Performance kit?
