Default I don't speak the lingo.

From the cover of Moto Journal: http://www.moto-journal.fr/index_mj.jsp
I don't ahve a subscription but if you look at the cover and the 2012 headline, there is a VR750R. Looks like a VR motor in a Super Motard kind of bike. Shorter wheelbase than V-Rod. Could be an interesting ride. Maybe the MoCo wasn't asleep and just coloring sheet metal to make new models. Now that Sportster, Touring and Trike are out, maybe there are some other changes in Dyna and Softail. Looks like the French have let out a little VR leak.

They released the XR1200 in Europe first. Maybe this one's only for the European market. Sure doesn't look like something Harley would build.

Looks like the V-Rod mill in a naked bike with mid mount pegs. It's about time Harley did more with that motor. Time and market interest will tell if this model hits U.S. shores.
