I'm thinking that this model is going to be sold out the first year and that's gonna be it. The enthusiasts will snap them up on the first release and next year it'll be on the show room being mocked by the rest of the Wild Hoggers as girlie bikes.

It's the first HD with an inverted fork. Widely touted as the best handling, best performing Harley Davidson EVAR!

it's a damn harley, and from the sounds of XR1200 I'm gonna guess that it's the Sporty 1200 motor in a XR750 body style. But if it were a 750, I'd actually ponder riding it.
