Harley's new XR1200 1 Month ago  
Thought this looked kind of retro/racey... HD's new mid-year release:
HD XR1200
...if you're into the sportster look (which I'm not really) Looks like HD is slowly moving into the sportbike circuit (along with Buell)

Wow. Did AMF buy HD again?!

That's what the logo on the tank, and the shape of it remind me of.

Not my cup of tea, but whatever..

I'm sure it is just to try and capture some of the Vmax crowd.

I didn't think much of it either.
But that 3 wheeler they got now that is sweet looking and I don't even like trikes.
