I have xr1200 2010. Very good and reliable bike. Owned now almost 4 years. Pleasure to ride ;)
Yes it is!
I just bought an 08 XR1200, the suspension isn't great but I like it a lot. I've had dozens of bikes including other Harley, this one might be a keeper.
You should!
well 2008 was a little while ago, things might need to be replaced/rebuilt etc.
I'd hang onto it and congrats on the purchase. Here in bike-mad southern PA they are extremely rare.
I'm retired from Harley Davidson and acquired four XR1200's in the past few years. Sitting on them as investments but also because they're incredibly enjoyable, pleasant and fun bikes to ride. Bomb proof drivelines and very appealing to the eye. A slightly more upscale exhaust and a simple tune and you're right at 100HP at the crank.
Would love to own one myself. What type would you recommend as an investment standpoint? The first version or the ''x''?
@@droommotor Investment-wise, it's tough to say. Many are partial to the motor and swing arm "natural finish" mirroring the XR750 which they're fashioned after. Others find the X model with "blacked out" mostly everything, to have more of a Vincent Black Shadow look to it. Suspension on the X just a tad more upscale than prior years. One thing the non-X models have going for them is the Mirage Orange Pearl color which is wildly popular and never available on the X. I'd look for an orange one but really....you'd be happy with any XR. I can search for you if you'd like. Location???
@@frankcastle5294I’m in Lancaster pa looking to get my hands on one of these
@@dylanpage4106 Leola here. I've owned XR1200's for over 10 years now and still own 3 and have never seen another one around here other than mine. Got an email? I'll help you find one.
Good review brother. Information and no rubbish.
Thanks man! This is one of my older videos! I think I got better with time!
I know on paper the new sportster s's should make easy work of the XR's but in the real world its not the big of a difference.
That’s true.. and the question is.. is that one a real sportster?
@@droommotorThe XR1200 is for sure, the new ones? Not in my eyes and i'm far from alone in that regards.
Wrong! Swap out the exhaust, add a tuner and filter. I put 90HP at the rear. I have the Dyno sheet to prove. They still race them today in the Super Hooligan Class. 3 raced this year at Daytona in March. You will not see any XL 1200 or 48s out there. They never even crack the motors on these bikes. They are set up perfectly from the factory with Buell leftover parts. I also have a 2021 KTM 890DukeR. The XR is way more fun to ride. They both race against each other in the Super Hooligan Class. The 890 is faster and lighter. It is so easy to ride. Just like all the sportbikes today. It is way, way, way, way more fun riding bikes without electronics. Old school. The electronics control the bikes not the rider. Even if you "shut them off" they are still on.
@@KevXRDuke yep, the XR is the bike so many wanted Harley to build but so many have no clue they even exist or that they are not just another sporty. Mine put down 93 rwhp with just exhaust. thundermax ecm and filter. I'm sure I can pick up a few more hp on it with a cam change but at the sacrifice of driveability. I think the XR's are pretty much spot on stock.
Mooi
Die highway steps zien er heel relaxed uit, zelfgemaakt?
In dit geval geen highway steps maar gewoon op de beugel gaan leunen ;)
Recently in California, XR1200 with less than 300 miles on it sold for about $14k. It sure looks very pretty.
That is one lucky owner!
@@droommotor not sure how thats lucky as thats WAY over priced. You can find nice low mileage XR 1200's for 5-7k all day long. Maybe not 300 miles but under 6k miles for sure, no way i'd pay much over 8k for any XR and it better have a ton of options and add on's for that price. Thats where the real value is in these bikes, the factory options and add ons.
The people who own "regular" Sportsters think it is the same! They never rode an XR. The XR is way better bike and around 20HP more from the factory. Anybody that knows a thing or 2 about Harleys ...that is a lot!!! That would almost be double in Japanese bikes. Most Harleys are around 50 or 60HP. Plus the brakes are the same as a CBR600rr. I buy the same pads. The Showa inverted forks and totally different fuel injection. Plus Harleys version of a ram air induction. The gas tank is plastic to save weight. Like Ducati did at the time. Those are just a few of the things they seperate it from a "regular" Sportster.
there is more different between a XR and a normal sporty then there is the same.
indeed indeed!
You nailed it Sir.
im luv my honda 125s.. till 3x big trucks almost pushed off the interstate/ bought the savage650.. luv all but vibration ! belt or shaft -cause sick of chains! i like air cooled basic bikes - want do commute- good gas - 90mph be perfect. need some weight so good on highway- need some wind block- need automatic... considered scooter- but they plastic- abs- computers and switches and wires unesary crap and cant fix them yourself. thinking smoothe would come from 4 piston- homdamatic maybe550 ? still good gas - lastly - i love quiet and smoothe- but... strange thing is - i love sound of high RPM. wish was air cooled high rpm! any ideas what i need ??????
The Honda rebel with DCT! Only the chain is an issue
and HD had Buell
Yeah.. to bad its gone
Blijft jammergenoeg een traag zwaar ding...
Voor Harley begrippen is de motor licht en heeft die vermogen zat! Maar dat is voor Harley begrippen 😎
@@droommotor heb een getunede gehad... mis hem wel... was uniek maar ben blij dat ik gewisseld heb voor m'n mv agusta
