RMCR Concept bike

I kinda like it. I wonder if it's porky. May not be too bad if they get it below 500lbs. 450 would be awesome.

Harley-Davidson RMCR Cafe Racer - The Bullitt

Is the Harley-Davidson RMCR cafe racer the modern XLCR Harley should actually build? Carbon fiber, Revolution Max, and serious intent.

Put bags on it and take it racing

They only made the original cofin tank café model with the siamese exhaust for 2 years, I believe. 1978-79(?)
I'm not a Harley guy, but I have a deep history and passion with and for this particular motorcycle.

Totally dig it except I would ditch the mini lolipop fairing and put a bit More flat trackish bars on it.

Nightster is 491# ready to ride

I like it! The Revolution Max 1250 is a sweet motor with 150HP. Yeah, put some bags on it, although I do have a set of custom made leather bags I could toss on it.
Had 'em made so they'd hold 2 - 12 packs.

They should also make a version that looks a little like the VR1000.

if you're gonna buy a $19K HD sport bike, maybe buy a used V4S instead....?

 

[SFMCjohn]

if I wuz gonna get a used Ducati I’d go for a V4R or the Panigale V4 SP2, myself—but I don’t think I could get a factory-paint black one, so it’s the $19k H-D for me, I guess.

plus, the used Italian bikes just don’t ring the emotional bell that those of us who remember seeing brand-new XLCRs enjoy. no accounting for emotional stuff with motorcycles, I suppose?

Looks very CG high

Looks very CG high

Maybe, but once you get all that WEIGHT compressed into a corner, it might go round rather well.
We'll have to see.

Pretty sure most of the "tank" is mostly the air box for the Rev Max 1250 motor.
Probably like the "Nightster", fuel tank is under the hinged seat.

Now as for that 1994 - VR1000...

seem to recall the VR1000 was a street bike in Poland? for homologation purposes, I guess …

Correct. They shipped them over, and shipped them back.

V-Rod still looking for a home, , ,
All the way to a dirt bike, and back to road racing,
Still short of a Glide, , ,

I think Parker or Springsteen kept one. I got close to one at Road America when my friend Chris Carr was riding one. Interesting bike to look over.

I like it. If they make what is essentially a buell again id be all over it
