Not a bad looking, honest machine.

i have read alot about this and most all writers think it could be harley's best.

It could be the only Harley I ever own. I grew up on AMA flat track racing. It goes deep into my scooter psyche. I watch my On Any Sunday dvd way more than I should. There is probably a 12 step program about flat track racing I should look into. It's all American and the base of hundreds of racers... many who have become World Champions in other venues of bike racing. Hell, it's the Rock and Roll equivalent to bike racing!

It pains me to admit this, but that bike is bad ass

not a bad looking bike...i'm happy to see them do something like this.  i thought the nightster was pretty cool, but this is way better.  just wish those cans ended a bit higher up, ala the S2/4r

Good job H.D.!
I could actualy see buying that...

You want some Termi's with that?

Even better

Daaaaaaaaamn! This is looking more and more like the 1978 XLCR style offering. Saw some of those on ebay recently for 8-10k. All this needs is the cafe racing bubble fairing like a Paul Smart, a little CF here and there, clip ons and I'd grind the back of that biotch in some twisties ala THC style any day. And when the breakage inevitably happens you won't have to spend an apendage to get parts.  As the Dodge boys said...Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Go Americans!

That looks pretty sweet!

Contrary to common belief, someone at Harley can actually make a bike for the rest of us. Will wonders never cease?

if i had the extra 10k at this moment that would be the bike, Termi pipes (cant wait to see if Supertrapp makes a Flat track replica system for this!!  ) Flat track race seat and some Go fast goodies for the motor... price isnt bad neither at 10k 










Oh yes they have also a Race Series in France, Spain and italy

apparently only recently did they make it available on this side of the pond.

I know why they bought MV Agusta. Makes sense. They wanted a euro bike company under their corporate umbrella to cheat on the import tariffs and set up a production facility over their. But why in the hell did they make the bike that everyone in the States has been crying for since the '77 XLCR cafe racer for the euro market only? Were they trying to piss off their US customer base? Seems like they have done a good job of that.

Damn. That is one good looking pig. I would ride the shit out of that...
