Default Harley-Davidson XR1200

So I swung by my nearets HD/Buell dealer yesterday to score some free loot. What do they have on the sales floor...but an orange XR1200. Now, I love this bike. But seeing it in person...what a gorgeous machine. I want one NOW. Just wish I had the cash.

Couldn't buy the bike, so I got my free Buell tire pressure gauge and bought a Buell hat.

I love this bike. My brother is seriously considering one. I saw one in a a magazine with high mounted termi's on it. Looked great.

I'm not likely to ever own one, but I would ride it. It is the only Harley that I would really consider owning.
