·Hello everyone I'm Rick from the great state of Texas
I moved from a BMW K1200 RS to the XR 1200 I have never owned are even thought about owning a Harley before the XR
When I seen it on the net one day I told my buddy that if it came to the US I would have one. The first one I seen was mine by the end of the day. I have to admit this is the only bike purchase I've made with out a test ride based on looks alone I just knew it was for me. On the ride home from the dealer ship I was wondering if this was the bike for me, but the more I ride it the better I like it. It viberates rides stiff the the lights aren't that good and the 3000 rpm range sucks. The stock tires have great grip for 2000 miles. I purchased the bike 01/24/09 and have replaced tires; installed a chin spoiler; xeid's; wind screen; tank bag, tail bag and grips. The wind screen is useless without the head lamp deflector oh I also installed the Piaa head light great improvment. With all the things I listed wrong with the bikel I love it for some reason I guess it's because of the low end performace and the fact you can go thru 30 mph corners at 75 mph without scraping the pegs this thing is so much fun to ride I can overlook the little things.
