The original street racer by H-D was the 1984-85 XR-1000. Much closer to the real XR-750 and much, much lighter that this (ahem) Sportster. If you really want to ride something that is the closest to the real thing, check out SHR's Grand National. www.grandnationalreplica.com This bike seems a little too much, too late.

I prefer to keep to the right so I have the option of running down the side of them. Scary in the wet (especially with with cats-eyes and white lines) but effective, at least for me... so far a?
