LA PODEROSA: HARLEY-DAVIDSON XR1200X ENDURO

Post by weeksy »

Some days i struggle with 'what to go with'. Today there was a stunning XT500 but what's the point in that, all everyone is going to say is "yeah, love it".

It won't bring any debate or discussion. So instead, we have this.

I suppose the question is, how well would it do in an actual enduro? It looks a bit of a 'because we can' exercise to me.

It'd be hopeless in an Enduro, but so would most off road styled bikes.

I like it, looks like it would be fun to ride, I suspect in reality it's long and heavy.

I like the standard XR1200.

It always looks huge in pictures, but if you stand next to one irl they're actually quite compact.

That one just looks like a stock XR12 with jacked up suspension and a silly front mudguard.

I rather like that.

Probably not very practical but it looks OK(ish).

As a poster bike it looks cool,the acid test would be riding it to see if it's yet another form over function.
