It debuted at Springfield but did not win it.
For a while they were only making 1940’s tech motorcycles. It’s good that now they’re making ‘70s era bikes.
Pinging HL27! thought you might be interested....
Next week is Isle of Man TT. Won’t see Harleys there.
I have been a huge flat track fane for many years, even a sponsoring amateur flat track rider that won an AMA Amatuer National Championship.
But most of my sponsoring and tuning activity has been in AMA road racing having been involved with a father and then his son who were and are AMA Pro Roadracers. Those here that are familiar with AMA Roadracing should reconize the names Marvin and Cory West.
Any how I am looking forward to seeing this bike at first time running of the AMA Oklahoma City Mile in about 3 weeks at Remington Park!!!
OH YEAH BABY!!! Nice ride!!!
I always loved the look & sound of the XR750, but from people who tried to run them on the streets, I had heard nothing but nightmares.
For a while, I seriously gave thought to getting one of Mert Lawwill’s “XR-1200s,” but I believe he quit building and selling them before I could really afford it.
The replicas that HD was selling (XR1000, XR1200) really weren’t very good reps, and way over-priced for what you got

Looks like a 1980's era Yamaha, imo.
That's a looooooong time.
I used to watch them race at the San Jose Mile track before it was shut down. Lots of fun!
Two wheels + high speeds =
A lot more than road rash.
I can’t accept a liquid cooled Harley.
