For those in the know, the XR1200 was an unexpected joy from Milwaukee, the land of big twins and relaxed riding styles. Clearly drawing inspiration from the legendary XR750, Harley-Davidson released the XR1200 in Europe only at first, though US riders cried foul and the bike was quickly offered here as well.
Lots of people complained that the bike was only available in Europe, but not many actually got their checkbooks out once the bikes were available in American dealers. The model was discontinued after 2012 and it’s been a cult classic ever since thanks to the power delivery of the 1,203cc V-Twin engine and unexpected handling. Paul Dean of Cycle World said, “it isn’t just the best Sportster ever, it’s perhaps the best Harley ever. It has the best chassis, suspension, brakes, cornering clearance, backroad handling and overall performance of any street-going H-D, with wonderful styling cues from the XR750 racebike and the original XLs of the late Fifties. Whether just bopping along the freeways or bombing down twisty backroads, I had more fun on the XR than I ever imagined a Sportster could allow.”
