Try it out and let us know what you think of the suspension, brakes, and accelleration. |
They come in black as well as silver too.

Adrenaline Moto did a really slick XR1200 project:

Not everything is a super sport. Unless you are doing lots of track days, NO ONE can use all that their repli-racer has to offer on the street.
Sometimes having a bike that is spec'd for the street provides you with just that viscreal experience that a bike tuned for the track can't offer. |
That is sick!
As far as street machines...some get it, some don't. There's always gonna be people who are gonna knock a Harley only b/c it's a Harley. Most of those same people have never even ridden one...but will talk shit till they are blue in the face.
Forget the fact that modern day HD's have Showa suspension, Brembo brakes, slipper clutches, fly-by-wire throttle, etc.
