Thanks for the post.
LOL! I find it sacreligous to attempt making a Sportster into a poor-performingRice Burner, but to each his own I guess. I think the XL1200R is a much classier, and classic, looking bike with the dual "shorties", and I believe it to be one of the best all-around cruisers on the road. Two upswept exhaust pipes and mufflers, and wheelies, just don't float my boat.

Like the XR or not, the fact that Harley-****ing-Davidson, the company that sells AMERICAN TRADITION like it's a tangible product, would *NOT* sell *ANY* model here (and here, FIRST) is a kick square in the nuts. Especially to the guys who swear up and down that the only reason they have a Harley is because they're the only viable domestic manufacturer. If I were more in love with my principles, I'd sell my Harleys and write a "strongly worded letter" to the powers that be. Of course, I'm more realistic and practical about life and just find it amusing more than anything.
Fact is, Harley buyers (as a culture, not individually) tend to shun anything that steps outside their narrow, poorly-constrained little-box-view of the biking world. Which is a true shame.
