As Uma said... I test rode one and a vrod.
http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=14236 I'm probably one of the biggest pro HD guys here. I love HD's but I can agree with you on the XR. I was expecting more out of it. A buell motor even out of the XB would be a better way of going. I didn't like how it felt top hvy like a dirt bike. The crazy part is that the nightster feels faster than the XR. Considerably. I'm not sure about the exact differences between the motors/heads. Further, I even rode the nightster to my demo ride... so it was easy to make this comparison. If I could buy any HD right now, it would be a nightrod. HANDS DOWN. May not be what you're looking for, so sorry it's no help. |

I feel the retro vibe now and then, but it isnt the cafe racer, its the Mad Max GS1100 / Kawi Z1 thing. 4 bell mouth carbs and a dust bin fairing like the 'goose' or 'Bubba Zenetti' rode in Mad Max.

I test drove a V-rod. 6 months or so later bought the VFR.

F yeah. If you want a true old school cafe, bobber, or dirt track racer... it MUST have a kick start to be the ulitimate sexy.
