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.

Saw one at my Buell dealer about a month ago. Pretty cool, and reasonably comfy too.

Looks like a Harley interpretation of the Honda Nighthawk 750.
