I got an email from a colleague at Harley Davidson. Depending on when you read this, it’s actually breaking news (and the photos are not on the HD website).
I wanted to let you in on the excitement at Harley-Davidson regarding the release of the XR1200 in the U.S.! Inspired by the legendary XR750, the XR1200 is the newest member of the Sportster family, and comes to the U.S. following its Europe-only release back in April.
As you may know, the XR750 was the most dominating American dirt track racing motorcycle of all-time, earning the Number One plate in an unprecedented 26 AMA flat track seasons. In fact, as a tribute to the XR750, there is a pre-sale of only 750 XR1200 models from 12/1 – 12/15.
This bike has gotten sensational reviews in the envious US press as well as “over there.” After much bitching and moaning, it’s coming home, though I imagine it will be a tall ask to actually park one in your garage.
