Description
When it was released, the Harley-Davidson XLCR (CR stood for Cafe Racer) was supposed to be an instant success powered by Harley’s most powerful production engine to date. It was a jet black departure from HD’s usual chrome fare. It didn’t sell well at all – now it’s a cult classic.
Designed by Willie G. Davidson, this bike was supposed to be a black beauty featuring HD’s most powerful production engine yet. The lovely siamese exhaust and bikini fairing were very unique – this was quite the (nearly) chrome-less departure for Harley.
Powered by the 997cc Sportster engine and built on a significantly reworked frame, the XLCR produced 61 horsepower, reached a top speed of 106 mph, and weighed approximately 485 pounds wet. For further details about the XLCR, visit Motorcycle Classics here.
This example is VIN: 7F11032H8. The seller purchased the bike five years ago from Mecum.
During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 500 miles. The odometer shows 40,900 miles.
