Default XLR 1200 Prototype

Any of you sportser guys know anything about the status of the XLR 1200 Sportser prototype HD is thinking about building? I've read some articles about this bike, but have heard nothing about a possible introduction of the bike.

There are a few threads in this forum talking about it already. Its loosley modeled after the XR750 with new technology and styling changes sprikled on top. It's targeted at and will be released in the European market. Their receptiveness to it will decide its future for Europe and beyond.

Harley playing around with prototypes is nothing new. Confirming the existance of one prior to its release is new.

Go to www.xrdna.com for some cool videos and photos. I heard the AMA Ford Flattrack Series manager will have one next year for track inspections. If you attend one of these races you will be able to see one there. Go to www.amaflattrack.com for schedule.
