Harley Davidson XR1200?
I have been riding my 250cc honda nighthawk for about a year now. I am interested in getting a Harley sportster xr1200. If i test drive this, how big of a difference would the acceleration be? is it going to be mind boggling and throw me off or controllable? thanks
The XR1200 is a great bike. It has good solid power that will get you 0-60 faster than anything on 4 wheels that cost under about $100,000. It has decent suspension, and decent brakes. It’s heavy, but it wears its weight well. Everything I have read about it says it’s a really fun sporty standard. I think it’s overpriced at the MSRP, but it’s still a great motorcycle. If I had the cash, I would probably have one right now.
It will be a big change from your Nighthawk, but I still think it’s a great choice for your next bike.
If you don’t want to spend that kind of money, I see ’04 and later 1200R Sportsters in the $5,000 range. They are similar, not as good, but much cheaper.
Good luck.
