Now I'm not normally a HD fan, but....

And high left hand pipes...but you can't make a good job of that with standard heads.

A mate of mine has an XR1000 with low staggered right hand pipes - what a total waste of XR heads! Someone went to a lot of trouble to make them look like a standard Sportster.

I betcha the aftermarket companies in Yankland are already designing bits for it.
ie...Corbin, V&H, Dynojet etc etc....

sacrilege!
Nothing but high pipes on XR's should be allowed!

As I've "heard" that you "know" someone from Welly Motorcycles you might be able to get the "inside info" on if/when these will be released.
Love to see one in the flesh (metal).

[nudemetalz]

the only thing I will do to mine when it arrives is put spoked wheels on it. black rims, black hubs, cut slicks, debaffle the zorst. sorted.

You mean like the Storz XR1200.....nice !!!!

(Betcha Motu and CFWB drool over this...)

Make that three !!!

The website says you can buy them as turnkey (about US$25K) or as a kit for a 1200 Sporty. They recommend the 1200R.
The only performance mods seem to be the aircleaner and pipes, but I guess if you would spend that sort of money you'd maybe put in some Screaming Eagle parts as well.

mmmmmmmmm flat trackers........looks like the big brother to the buel blast 500

[HenryDorsetCase]

Street trackers are a better street weapon motards I reckon,they carry weight further forward than a dirt bike which helps pushing hard in corners.My XLV750 carried a hell of a lot of weight forward,and was the best handling ''dirt'' bike I've ever ridden.Streettrackers are still a sub culture.so it's good to see a manufacturer pick them up....but Harley make the real thing! Almost like the guys in the design dept never walk into the competition shop.

I hope to make a streettracker one day,just looking for the donor bike....gotta be a big twin,min of 650.

there was a TRX 850 motor on tardme last week.


just saying.

The factory one looks better to me.

I like both.
My opinion is that the Storz version is a traditional/modern way of a "XR750 Replica" and the 2007 XR1200 is a modern/modern approach to an "XR750 replica".

The Harley one will have all of the latest improvements to the V2 which would be an advantage.

Still it's horses for courses.

Good move bro. Those mags look a bit lego. Love the look otherwise.

I suspect thinks would even up a lot once the hideous Storz sticker on the tank was peeled off
