MCN Roadtest: Harley Davidson XR1200 group test

[choopdewoot]

did i see someone get a kneedown on the harley? or am i insane

[jake011386]

harley davidson xr1200 looks great but would it be a an ok beginners bike?

[rayvelasquez267]

@jake011386 it depends on how much of a beginner you are. if you've never ridden a motorcycle, no. learn on a 250 you'll have more fun and won't drop the bike 10 times. if you take a motorcycle class on 250's or can ride a friends 250cc sport bike or 600-750cc cruiser and feel comfortable with the clutch( never stall the bike off a red light) and the braking (even in emergencies) then yes. it depends on you! if you feel comfortable riding a motorcycle in any situation then yes.

@jake011386 I would say no, start on a 250.

Get a haircut, you damned euro trash hippie!

What a load of crap! MCN testers are a bunch of arseholes. If it doesn't make 180bhp, it's no good. Well, I've just got a new 1200 Griso, and it is ace!

@mguyvig

Well, you have to say that, otherwise you would have to admit you have been a fool, Maybe you will realise it, when you have standed out there, in no where, several times, and have to push it home.

[Birdmanofbrize]

Pure drivell. blah blah blah...you either want one make or another. I'd be over the moon with either of em. Get a test ride instead of listening to these arse bandits.zzzzzzzzzz.

I'd like to see a road test of the Harley Davidson 1200N (Nightster). I certainly looks and sounds good and I found it quite an enjoyable road test. Best with Vance and Hines tail pipes and Stage 1 kit I believe.

Pity that the XR1200 isn't sold in the US.

[questyfilms]
