I like the XR, but that would be one hell of a move for that bike. If they want to do that ideally they should just bolt the XR motor in to an XB12R chassis.

HD already has all the tooling and equiptment to make the buells, woulnt be too hard of a stretch of the imagination to see them using the already designed and produced buells used.

Yeh I brought that up on page 9.

Again I expect to see an xr with a rim mounted front brake, and an under slung muffler. Possibly some ingenious way of holding fuel too.

(just the front brake in this one)


Anyway we are all arguing and agreeing with eachother
