More pics of the XR1200 here: http://www.xrdna.com Good looking bike. I have a Sportster 1200 now, just for putting around. I think that HD isn't in a hurry to sell them here because they know their American market. I don't believe that the Vrod is selling well here either and this would compete for the few people interested in a sportier HD. It is odd, or perhaps I am odd, in that many of the bikes that I like (Vstrom, naked sportbikes, dual sports, etc.) seem to be niche bikes here in the US. -Barron --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Horton Oliphant wrote:
