Harley Davidson XR1200 at the Birmingham NEC

Written: 25/10/2006 : 11:47. Read 19127 times (10/day).

First seen at Intermot in Cologne earlier this month, the UK showing at the NEC is to allow Harley-Davidson to gauge media and public reaction to a new kind of Harley-Davidson – one with an emphasis on performance, handling and sporting style.

As we told previously, the development goals for the XR 1200 Prototype were clear: to make Harley-Davidson’s most powerful regular production, European specification, air-cooled V-Twin engine; give excellent handling, suspension and braking, all fine-tuned for European roads; and carry the styling inspired by the Motor Company’s legendary XR 750 dirt track race bike.

- 1200cc high performance powertrain finished in as-cast silver powdercoat
- Specially developed sports tuned Showa® suspension including 43mm inverted front forks
- High performance Nissin® brakes
- Downdraft fuel injection and electronically controlled active air intake system
- Specially developed Dunlop® Qualifier tyres (front 120/70ZR18; rear 180/55ZR17)
- XR 750-inspired styling and livery
- Unique lightweight cast wheels with dirt track-inspired design
- Ergonomics designed around the average height European customer

With around 85-90hp expected from the 1200cc, downdraft fuel injected engine, coupled with a generous lean angle, the XR 1200 Prototype could certainly become the best handling Harley-Davidson regular production machine ever seen.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
