Default XR1200 Seen at Bike Show

I went to the UK's national Motorcycle Show yesterday and H-D were showing three of the prototype XR1200s on the stand.

Bit disappointed to be honest - quite a bit of flimsy plastic around and some of the parts looked to have a very cheap finish to them. All considered, not quite my thing! Things might improve should production begin, but on this showing it appeared to be more like something from the far East!
