That's no street tracker Steve, it's a genuine KR750 Harley flat tracker, the predecessor to the XR750. They were the last of the sidevalve racing Harleys. If the photo Paul posted taken at Broadford in, I presume 2010 and the one I posted of the bike hanging in a bar in St Louis in 2012 are the same bike the mystery deepens as to whether there are two or if it had gone back to America.
Back in 1995 I had a ride on our friend Marsh Runyon's KR Harley up the road and back at his home in Fresno CA. I was surprised how quick such a basic bike could go. I think Yamaico Pete may have had a blurt on it as well on another occasion. The bike was actually set up for motocross, an earlier version of the motocross XR900 he bought here to race at the Ravenswood Nats in 92
(bottom photo). Cool bloke with a lot of cool bikes and cars.
Big Marsh, Dan Rouit and Marsh's Harley Panhead bobber that he built around a motor he found buried in the desert full of bullet holes. I don't usually like chopper/ bobbers much but this bike looks just right.
