Ignore the nonbelievers, pure blasphemy. Put it on Ebay and that will shut them the fu k up.

You guys need to check out Cycle World magazine, and the Cycle World forums (you'll ahve to join I think)

Peter Egan has written a few columns last year about "keepers" and among them (others including the square case 900SS Ducati) was the XLCR.

In my March issue there is a pic of him in his garae with the XLCR, so he did get one.

In the CW forums there is a 10 page + thread about XLCR's: provenance, slagging matches, value, "You're a jerk" "No, you're an even bigger jerk" comments..... its great. Dig thru the dross though, and there are pearls of wisdom (hmmmmm what other forum do I know that is like that??)

Anyway, for a US perspective it will be worth a look
I would say.

No one has ever doubted this is a highly collectable bike and - dare i say it a tremedously brave bike by HD. I can actually remember when they were released and like the rest of the world I was gobsmacked.

The question is - whats it worth? A better question is - what does one cost?

Hi all I also have an original xlcr that I'm looking to sell later this year. The bike was left to me by my father who passed away last year and just wondered if anyone could give me an indication of what it might be worth in N.Z?
Details are as follows
One owner,
Original purchase documents
Powder coated rims
2 factory seats
Travelled approx 20,000 kilometres.
Cheers

Cool looking bike, but I'm not too sure if you'd class it as a collector's item.

Nah bollocks. I have seen two and one was listed on tardme a couple years ago.
