Harley at last have produced a sports bike.

[riffer]

See I'm in the eviable position of having a missus that's (possibly) more into bikes than I am. It's ME that's the voice of reason in our house.

I think WE need one of those babe........

Might actually look good with a sidecar mate.

Fuck off, I'd have a "Cross bones" if I was going to have a Harley outfit.

I was talking with Steve Bron last weekend at Manfeild and he was actually in the proccess of building a road going race style outfit. Now THAT would be a hoot. They tested one in PB about ten years ago and it looked fucken cool.

XR750 is the most successful race bike ever - mind you when most of the bikes in that class are XR750's that is no surprise

My friend has an XR750 but it has been bored out to 900cc

i could see you on one of those Keith

Brewki If they had have put a decent seat on the thing. I might have taken one for a test ride. I will wait and hear big Daves review of it. I'm sure he will be impartial with his findings.

As far as dedicated Harley trolls are concerned you can't hold a candle to Huck Farley in his prime.

Why thankyou for the compliment. Old git will get better as he goes along. No one has given him a wined up yet to see what he's got.

Don't know about that plastic panel under the seat though - no doubt there will be bling.

Firstly, regardless of what Harley or Eric Buell say, it's far from a "Sports" bike. .

Regardless of what WT says, Buell makes a great sports bike.
Harley even did a pretty good one in the FXDX.

What WT means is in fact a track bike these days.

Buell do indeed make superb Sports bikes mates. I'm looking very forward to slinging a leg over the new water cooled critter when you do a story on it

What I'm saying, is regardless of who sez wot, the XR1200 is nowhere friggen NEAR a sportsbike.

Whats really interesting about it is that it will not be for sale in the USA - its designed for the European market.

HD probably still remember the big flop of their last XR replica in the early 80's (I think). The funny thing about that is they are now worth huge dollars as they are very rare.

You're not thinking of the XLCR are ya? Rather than an XR. XRs were never a flop but the XLCRfailed miserably.

And if that is the machine you're thinking of, they're actually not very valuable at all. Check Ebay.

I'm a sick cunt, I know, but I still lust after an XLCR1000. Bloody beautifull.

I was 19.
I had a brand spankin new black and gold SR500 with a bikini fairing and drop bars because it was as close as I could afford to a XLCR.
I read that brochure more than any other. I'd still have it in a box somewhere.

Everything with an AMF badge on it flopped.

Story is in this month's KR - or as it's been out a while...

I'd still pick the Harley Buell motor over the rotax buell motor.
What is better sport these days - flogging a low/mid power unit - or idling 5k off the powerband on a fire breather - huh? huh?
