Cafe racer never do anything for me. I just cant see the appeal as they always look so uncomfortable.

It's a shame HD never made a proper 'roadster' style motorcycle (think Triumph Twin), the closest they got was the sportster, but that still had raked out forks.
The XR1200 is nearly there, but a bit too modern looking (for an HD), but a nice simple looking thing with sensible geometry would have been a winnder for the European market, imho.

The tank is a little too "low profile" for me, if I'm being picky. That engine is huge for it's output though.

I had one and besides the weight, it handled really well. What made me sell it was the catalogue of faults not expected on a one year old bike. It pissed me off no end.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 6:48 pm It's a shame HD never made a proper 'roadster' style motorcycle (think Triumph Twin), the closest they got was the sportster, but that still had raked out forks.

You'd need bollock armour if you were keen to ride that one. Looks well,in a Vincent kinda way.
