This bike is the sportiest of the bikes as far as Harley Davidson goes. The XR was introduced three years ago and unfortunately for us (the United States) we have been behind the curb in comparison to Europe. Unluckily the Europeans have gotten the upgraded version since it has come out and the United States has not. But fortunately for this year they will be selling the X in American stores.
The new fork that is going to be used on the XR1200 is the same fork that is used on the Suzuki GSXR1000, which being a race bike, and a nice one at that you can bet that it is nice. It is also lighter the last fork that was used. The rear suspension can be adjusted both ways so if you like better cornering ability or adjust it a little softer so that you get a smoother ride.
While this doesn’t get into the sport or race class in my book this looks like a real fun bike. And for a rider that would be looking for a comfortable position with still some cornering ability this bike would be a blast. Plus it still has that great Harley sound which is always music to my ears.
