What success? American dealers will almost pay you to the things off their hands.
And it aint a sportsbike. It's a flat tracker.

I have always puzzled why Harley don't try and use the success of the XR750 in any way at all,it's almost like it doesn't excist,an embaressment,something to be ashamed of.Ok,so they were helped along by the AMA bending the rules their way,but really,very few bikes have been able to take it to the XR750 on the dirt tracks - except of course the fabulous Honda RS750,a copy of an XR.They have never put on a small tank,painted it orange and put on a high pipe,never made a street tracker.
I love it!

This is as close as they've prob got, huh? The XL883R. I too, am very suprised that Harley don't offer something like that Storz bike in their own catalogue. Harley always seem to offer so many variations on their bikes but they are always the same old thing. How about a Vrod done up like that? :niceone:

What's the story with the chain being on the wrong side? Is that just what Harley does sometimes or has the pic been reversed?

Right side drive. It's for the choppers that have big fat rear tires. Helps get rid of the massive primary drive that is needed to get the tranny in the right area to get power to the back wich causes alot of them to be heavy on the left side.

Primary drive is diferent from final drive, you should know that. I'm not sure if what I said before is the whole reason for having a big belt for the primary that's just how it was explained to me by one of the guys at the Ironhorse shop in Dallas. And considering how successfull they are I'm inclined to listen to them.

But it aint a big block mate, or a chopper.
it's a sportster.
Which is why the chain is on the R/H side.

For reasons unknown to me, but none-the-less,
Big Blocks have the final drive on the left hand side (facing the rear of the bike)
Sportsters have it on the right.

Coz that's how Harley build them.
They also had shifters on opposite sides....back in the 60s before the Yanks made everyone do it all the same (heel click and stiff arm salute,freedom of choice....yeah right) Yamaha dirt bikes of the late 70s and 80s had a right side chain...heaps of YZs with no motors around as they used them in karts,but it was a major to put any other motor into them,I had heaps offered to me,but just couldn't be bothered doing the work to put anything else in.
ok,not heaps,more than one??

Anyone ever put a real XR750 onto the road? (By real XR I mean the all alloy, flat track model).
BTW the exhaust pipes on the Storz are on the wrong side, they should be on the left, Also the XR had two "front" cylinder heads, with 2 Mikuni carbs.

Dont forget the lack of front brakes.
Dont forget the lack of front brakes.
Not on the TT - they did left and right and a jump and had brakes.Ever seen a TT race? I've only seen one I caught on Sky once - it's like a flat MX track and they fucking moooove! The jumps are low and long,very fast - there is a corner after the jump and they throw the bike sideways midair and land fully crossed up midcorner....my jaw just dropped,I've never seen anything so bloody fast and dangerous in my life!! In the 70s they used 750s on the TT tracks,in the 90s the Rotax bikes,dunno what they do now.
Harley had the XR1000 motor - and made a bloody custom out of it!
That's pretty cool, but I have to say, I do still have a soft spot for the Screaming Eagle :love: Mmmm Orange
