The XR 750, A Freaking Legend of the Motorcycle World!

[@andrewhanson5942]

Yes, but what you are not remembering is that the Harley-controlled AMA made all of the superior competition illegal to compete in dirt track. If ya can't beat 'em, just pass a few rules to keep them off the track. Remember that?

This is the way of Harley Davidson 😅. Did it with drag racing as well.

[@donniebaker5984]

yOU ARE A LIER AND LETS BET SOME MONEY. The contenders have always been BSA Triumph Norton and it was just the other way around Ama allowed Triumph BSA and Norton to run oversize cylinders to make them 750cc...today an air cooled triumph is a 1000cc ktms are allowed 900cc

The best and most popular bike of its' type , and you could;d not buy one , not unless you were worthy , and part of the inner circle .

[@donniebaker5984]

Team Harley was not in the habit of giving away all their secrets to the competition let alone allow them to have a bike that could beat theirs... since 2020 you can buy an XG750R from Vance & Hines World Headquarters in Brownsburg Indiana. Price is around $38,000 and it's a genuine Harley-Davidson with the Harley-Davidson logos on it... And comparison you can buy the FTR750 indian for around $50,000

Yes, I know the animation of the iron vs aluminum is on the rods and pistons instead of the actual cylinder heads, that animation looked cooler than just showing you a picture of the heads themselves. Any animation suggestions for video please leave them here!

[@thakery5720]

That animation ignores the 'knife and fork' type connecting rods sharing the single crank pin......

Correction, 36 MM carbs, not 36 cc.

The XR750 is dirt track racing

[@veedubklown]

Thanks for making a video about a weird harley. There's quite a few more, and I particularly enjoy the XR750. Also the goofy remakes like the XR1000, XR1200. Also the V-Rod destroyer, and the goofy water-cooled bike from the 80's or 90's. They've given you plenty to make content about XD

[@johncraveiro3128]

YOU DON't HAVE CLUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@donniebaker5984]

The v-rod destroyer is goofy fast at 9.6 in the 1320. Vs the goofy Hayabusa at 9.7 in the 1320. The XR1000 is a goofy street legal version of Lucifer's hammer that won the battle of the other goofy twins five years in a row at Daytona

[@rosstisbury1626]

HD could have made a road legal de tuned version and stayed relavent or made more Sporters etc . . lost opportunity

[@kurtfoulke5130]

Now try to tell the difference between an XR 750 & an 883 Sportster !
This video was lame 👎

[@stephengibbs4372]

How right you are, 50% of what they showed were dressed up evo sportsters.
