Some find that to be a good lookin' bike. I don't get it. How the heck would that thing handle in the dirt with that rake angle?
Pretender. ::022::

Yeah it's not s'possed to be a dirt bike ... more a funky take on a different look. I just like stuff like that ... always liked the Zero Engineering bikes as well. Purely the form not the function apart from a bike that rolls.

There are bits and pieces on these that I really like and will consider for my Thunderbird.

I thought the same thing when the XR1200 came out. I did some wrenching on XR750's back in the 70's and I always wanted a street legal XR, so I had to have the 1200. Sold it with 700 miles on the clock. It had that "cool" factor, but was no fun to ride. YMMV.

Throw on some flat track tires on her and go round and round at speed sideways. ::001::

I always wanted a street legal XR too and almost bought the 1200. Then I found out about the ethanol induced swelling/leaking gas tanks that Harley wouldn't address out of warranty. A flashback to my '05 Ducati made me buy a Street Triple instead. No regrets.

A motorcycle friend has a very nice XR1200 and I am hoping he will want to sell it. That would be a fun motorcycle.
