Did anybody else see XR1200 on Harley's Facebook? Looked Buelish.

Check out this link. These are a good base platform. Don't yell at me, but you have to remember our Buell Xb power trains came from the sporty design. Buells were more improved. Where Harley has gone wrong for year's is their marketing. Just like when they had Buell, I believe if they were marketed correctly Buell would still be made today. They are making the same bad decisions with the xr1200. With the exception of the racing circuit then again many people don't even know about it. Harley has really went the wrong direction they support the whole wannabe a badass biker thing( which I don't even get). I believe they have really lost track of their heritage which was as a racer. Just my two cents!

nope
from my post @ 2:15
xtreme is right, they make a good platform to build upon. In stock form they don't have great suspension. When you put Ohlins on it and add a good pipe, yea you end up spending too much but you get a very good unique bike (if you are into that sort of thing).
The Harley dudes didn't like it, the Harley dealerships didn't push it, and Harley Corporate didn't promote it much. They treated it like the red-headed step child in their line-up (like it was the new Buell). It didn't sell too well. It's being discontinued after 2012.
It's basically a Harley for non-Harley riders. It has decent performance and decent brakes (something that Harley riders don't care about). I like it. It's not for everyone that's for sure.
