More like the early 80's VT500/600 Hondas
Great base for Flattrackers

Have you ridden an XR1200 Oldyzman? They are the only modern Harley I would have in the shed.
The new 750 even looks like the old Honda engine.
Cheers, Grahame

I owned a XR1200x Pipes, filter and chip kept it for less than a year, i should have looked into it before i fell in love with the look and concept. I think the XR1200 and X was an attempt on the euro market fro HD, It was a flop.
My honda hornet 900 was much more fun and so was my HD lowrider.

Fair enough. I haven't ridden one more than 50k's, but I liked it enough to make the above statement. I liked it more than the XB Buell's. Street Triple Triumph is my pick ATM but will look at the new Yammie Triple.

I have a new Yam Triple it is tremendous
Nearly the best bike I have ever ridden
I am sure it will be once I hack a crashy into a flattracker
