The Buells are totally different animals. Triumph also makes the modern 3 cyl water buffalos in addition to the oil/air colled classic twins. No Tiger sales were affected by the Scrambler.

My nephews XR750 would look really cool with lights. Have seen some in the past and they are cool, Not to sure about therealiability in the XR motor if it is set up to run the Dirt Tracks. Not sure how long the motor would last on the street. Mind you they wouldnt be running 125 mph for 20 laps either. But those motors run on the edge to win !!!
There is an impressive video on this page:

RE: Harley Scrambler.
I once had a 1967 Norton P-11 Scrambler. Thing had a rear sprocket dang near as big as the rim. It was a freakin' beast! Might've topped out at 80 mph with the gearing, but it did that 0 to 80 in about 3.267 milliseconds! 
Kidding aside, when I could keep it running without shaking the electrics to death, it was a blast. We'd take it out the some dunes near Va Beach where a buncha guys rode their li'l "sissy" 2 stroke dirt bikes. Got some strange looks when we unloaded the beast. I'd let some of the dirt guys take it for a spin and they'd roll back in with the biggest ol' grin on their faces.
It wouldn't have beat any of the hot 2 strokes "real" dirt bikes 'cause it was way heavy, and almost impossible to handle. But it just flat out was a blast to try and ride. That 750's low end grunt would like to rip your arms off if it got hooked up good.

RE: Harley Scrambler.
I get to see quite a few of the old 441s and other classic dirt iron at the Diamond Don Rainey meet here in Jefferson, TX. Pretty cool watching the old 4 strokes terain' it up along the bayou.
The one time I rode a Victor I immediately thought of that P-11. The Norton was way more powerful, but too heavy for a scrawny 150# younker to man-handle. The 441 waseasier to ride, and that made it lots more fun.
Funny how both these have the caveat "when it ran".

You won't need a kit (well, as long as you live overseas), Harley has already announced this bike will be released in Europe, it debuted in Germany.

Very cool bike, but isn't that kit expensive by the time you finish?
