I just bought one of these...I am a rock star...I’m Bill fnn Murray. I will own it forever.
Fun review mate. Thanks for the insights!
You got a couple things wrong. The engine borrows a lot of parts from Eric Buells parts bin. Heads, cam, special intake, exhaust, light flywheel. They make about 90hp stock. With stock gearing only a v rod will run away in the 1/4 mile. Nothing else HD makes or made will touch it. I own a 2011 X model. They made less than 500 XRs in the states in 2011 and 12 each year. Total US production was about 3600 bikes. Most are 2009s.
How does the windshield do? Or does it put it i into your face?
I have a set of cortec bags for mine. It's basically a sport touring bike.
Excellent man ! 🤘🏻
Awesome review, i felt like i was riding the bike (and enjoying), soon i`ll probably be an owner of a 2012 XR1200, tks!
Looking to get back into riding and this one is at the top of the list!
What did you end up getting??
How did the windshield work? Did it provide some wind protection at least?
Shame you didn't try the XRx model with showa adjustable suspension front and floating front discs.
Most negative feedback on the XR1200 was the suspension that didn't keep up with European/Asian bikes, Harley listened and upgraded the forks on the XR1200x.
Nice review!
Agreed! I've heard amazing things about the xr1200x! Maybe one of these days we'll get one of those unicorns in the dealership and I'll get to throw it around a bit
@@MaverickHarleyDavidson it looks like that bike already has the floating rotors from an X bike on it and an upgraded shifter that is much more positive than the stock shifter. From what you said it has the "Scotty mod" in the primary. Nicely done bike. Mine never fails to bring a smile to my face even after a good 500 mile day of riding. I am guessing you are in Texas so take that bike to the twisted sisters and you would have a blast!
Man I wish they would bring them back. They have that cool XR 750 look. I love the white ones.
They well be making another. And it looks fabulous. Tap in Motobob: is Harley-Davidson building a cafe racer and flat tracker?
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o the 1250custom is the flat tracker (a bunch of sites say 1275cc but it is 1250) and it may be replacing the sportster in the long run. I would hate to see it go after all these years but HD has to do some big stuff to stay with the competition.
Trying to find a place that has the risers for the handlebars for 2009 XR 1200 is anybody watching this video know where I can get those risers they got to be staggered thank you
I hear it's hard to find parts for the XR1200 in the U.S.
I have an 09 that someone put the adjustable front and rear shocks on it. Powercommander too. Its a cool bike. I still got the stock gearing though and may not change it. I just rev the crap out of it.
Art Vandelay cheers cobber :-)
Blowing away big twins since 1957.
Great bike and that was an awesome review! At the end when you put the kickstand down --- I found that super awkward too when I rode it! Is it located in some weird spot? You almost have to stand up too push it all the way forward. Trying to decide if it's a deal breaker. Best Regards.
THANKS! I wouldn't say it's a dealbreaker for me, I'm sure it's annoying to me since I don't own one and Harley hasn't produced it in years so I am not accustomed to it. If it is a dealbreaker for someone I would have them consider the new Roadster. The XR1200 itself is a good enough bike that I could easily overlook the kickstand positioning
You would get used to it. I did..
What type of windshield is that?? iLike it 👍
good vibes
i just bougth one kind this .. just so nice bike
Hi bro nice bike 😎👍
It’s a great Bike
Hate the exhaust . . Should have been a 2 into 1 setup.
Check out the one they seem to be about to make.
You are likely talking about the 1250 custom? That is gonna be a cool bike!
Why Harley stopped to make the XR1200?????
because they couldnt keep up with an suzuki sv650
@@mottthehoople693 fuuukkkk yeahhhh.
@@goodmantruth8185 fact
Because apparently this bike did not sell well.
Sales unfortunately. It was on the high end of pricing for Sportsters.
I wonder how it would fair against the new Indian FTR 1200?
You know you really shouldn't get high before riding! Lol
So, Is this your first time riding a motorcycle? I love all of the "not so technical" information or whatever. Better hurry, you're going to be late getting back to work at McDonald's
More like late getting to Mom's basement to play video games. He's not gonna flip burgers when he can get the Biden Welfare.
You kinda sold me on buying this
awesome!!!
@Art Vandelay done! I bought an 09 black. Getting it on tuesday! Excited about my first HD.
You were right! Its uniquely American, but a blast to ride. That exhaust note is visceral when accelerating down freeways.
in the last 35 years i have owned around 200 motorbikes , the xr1200 is without doubt the shitest motorbike i have ever ridden full stop
why?
@@mrbrunse way too long for b roads, way too heavy, vibrates like a washing machine with a brick in it, way too low geared 55 mph cruise ffs. croc o shit. my tr1 which was 30 years older was 10 times a xr1200
Check to see if someone put a pea under the seat on you.
You are full of shit. 200 bikes my ass.
@@KevXRDuke why bs? my buddy is 50 and has owned close to 75. he has 50 or so in his eight car garage. he stopped buying when his kids went to college and went to Lamborghinis and Ferraris.
not a match for a buell anywhere...HD certainly fucked up
Buells were definitely fun to ride! I wonder how the upcoming streetfighter will stack up
