Guess the simple answer is..... Bring back the XR1200X

THAT was a decent performing bike that I would have owned.

Nah, got the MT-01, performance standard is pretty much the same, just one revs slow and torquey, the other is a bit more 'rev loving'.......

... even before HD purchased Buell...Buell purchased the Sporty engines from HD obviously...so really...the things not really just a Harley? Seriously?

Up until 1995 they were purchased from HD. Two major engineering upgrades on the motors by Buell in 1995, and again in 1998, veer from the start point of the block and are certainly not "standard HD".

and are certainly not "standard HD".

Correct. On another note completely (well sort of)...I'd fucking love an XB12RR. Have been offered a ride on a mates one a couple of times at race meets...but I'm too scared to ride it in case I fuck it.

So just what does a genuine XR750 on full chat sound like? Like this of course...HORN!

I see Nichole Mees in Harley leathers there, she normally has pink leathers - I hope she has a factory ride.

!339cc and 150hp. Never seen one but there can't be much to making one shirly?

Heads will be stock, yes? Cylinders? Not much else is that hard to do mate.

Love to hear a 2 valve pushrod twin going nuts - British twins, BMW twins, Harleys, it's a good noise going for it.
