XR1200 - my next bike?

[RogueRebel]

Thats a good looking bike. The tail is interesting... is that a HD part or an aftermarket piece?

Thank you
That's the corbin 2 up seat. It was the nearest thing i could get as a bench seat while i was scrambling around in it

 

[RogueRebel]

It will look similiar to this when i get done

Looks like a cross between a Buell xb12 s and R, nice looking !

Oh ok, so the Corbin seat is covering up the tail on the bike? Very cool!

It comes with it's own tail and the seat goes farther back so i had to do some modifications to make the luggage rack work with the corbin seat

Factory tail

Two up tail

Solo tail

I'd personally wait till the new Indian FTR1200 is out, that thing is pretty sweet...

The concept is sweet, lets hope they dont fudge it up like victory did with the 154 or 156 what ever it was called(came out as the octane) or harley did the vr1000 (turned into a vrod)
I want the ftr1200 so bad and i hope it doesnt turn into some lame scout model and i also hope it puts a fire under HD to make a new and improved xr1200

Very nice, John! Congrats! Sounds like it was a hell of a find...and just down the road, too...time to play the lottery!

And this just in about the FTR1200. Indian announced that it is going into production in 2019!

John, awesome find. That thing looks like a lot of fun. maybe I'll come up this fall and take it for a rip and destroy it's resale value..lol. James, I've been eyeball hustling that Indian for some time now, amazing looking machine. It's doing well on the dirt tracks from what I hear.

You found it in black, awesome find John! I am jealous!! Wally, you still riding the RC or did you retire it?

 

[wickedchop]

Yeah Rich, retired the big Honda. Had some suspension problems last time and we made a decision that the bike is becoming more and more rare, especially with Nicky's passing so we will restore it back to street duty. Building this monster right now, should be an insane track/race weapon. Excuse my shop, looks like a bomb went off in there!

i'll be waiting wally. it's no race bike but sure is fun to ride. i never road a rubber mounted sportster series bike but incredibly smooth for what they are. thanks for the compliment josh....ricky....james. appreciate it. i'll get a a few better pics.
on that Indian.....JAMES....if polaris can get the MSRP in under 12K they'll sell and sell huge. no reason they can't as the major components are scout and tooling paid for ages ago plus all the rest done in-house. cheapen up the suspension a bit and the 12K mark certainly do-able. one of the coolest bikes in decades. i LOVE seeing AMERICAN manufacturing and ingenuity that the rest of the world lusts after.
