Road Legal XR750 Flat Tracker is the Real Deal
By Robert Bacon

Is there a Harley-Davidson fan out there who hasn't dreamed of owning a bike like this?

Harley does need something to counter that new Indian FTR1200. Now its entirely possible they are counting on their new water cooled line to do just that with the street fighter model they exhibited

I'd be curious to find out how they handled on the road with that sort of rake, or rather lack of it.

When I was younger that’s the Harley I wanted. At 67, I’m afraid my time for street-legal dirt bikes has passed.

That's awesome! I think the 750 Street should have gone for a dirt track look. I don't think dealers would be able to keep them in stock if they got it right, and kept the price down.

Good question... In some places, is it legal to ride without lights during the day?
