2009 Harley-Davidson XR1200
Registration no. GY58KZG
Frame no. 5HD1LA6159K412716
Engine no. LA69412716

Introduced in 2008, the XR1200 was styled like Harley-Davidson's XR750 flat-track racers, which have dominated that branch of US motorcycle sport since time immemorial. It was first seen in prototype form at the 2006 Cologne Show, the resulting favourable reaction encouraging H-D to commit to full production. The XR1200 was a member of the long-running Sportster family, though with its riding dynamics further refined to enable it to compete with other retro-style 'nakeds' such as Ducati's GT1000 and Moto Guzzi's Griso. Indeed, the XR1200 was of special significance for Harley-Davidson as it was designed exclusively to meet the needs of the European market. The Milwaukee manufacturer would seem to have succeeded in its goal, MCN declaring that the XR1200, 'performs and handles better than any Harley before.' The fuel-injected version of Harley's familiar air-cooled v-twin engine had an increased compression ratio, raised rev ceiling and 2-into-1-into-2 exhaust system, resulting in a maximum power output of 90bhp and 74ft/lbs of torque.

The vendor describes this example as being in excellent condition and recently started. It has only covered 6,861 miles since new, the current second owner having acquired it in February 2017 and riding it for a mere 1,800 miles. The last service, which included a new rear tyre, was carried out at Warrs in May 2017. The most recent MOT was valid until May 2018, after which it was declared SORN and carefully stored. Included in the history file is the original Shaw Harley Davidson purchase invoice, a 2008 Sportster Models owner's manual, a Warrs invoice, V5C, an old-style V5C, and a collection of previous MOT certificates. Please note that the V5C does not correctly record the engine number.
