2009 Harley Davidson XR1200 – Motorbike Bicycle
The XR1200 is Harley-Davidson’s new ‘hot rod’ standard motorcycle. t draws frequent attention. Harley-Davidson emphasizes the performance aspects of the XR1200, so we’ll dive right in and share our findings. The XR1200 is well-behaved on the back roads. The XR1200′s brakes are a pleasant and welcome surprise: a solid feel and powerful bite provide excellent stopping power with minimal fade even under repeated hard braking. The XR1200 is a narrow and nimble bike despite its higher than average weight (about 580 pounds ready to ride). The Evolution motor’s low-end grunt makes squirting through traffic, overtaking cars and dealing with stop-and-go traffic a painless proposition. During city riding, the Dunlop Qualifier tires provided a stable, confidence-inspiring ride; no wiggles, jiggles or noticeable sensitivity to road surface irregularities. Moderate cross winds did not upset the XR1200 at highway speeds. The XR1200 is comfortable at freeway speeds and the seating was perfect for commute-length rides. I found the XR1200 to be comfortable even during an all-day ride covering over 350 miles.
