Bulldog-BT1100

As some of my friends were buzzing about the new Harley XR 1200, I've tried one some days ago. Big disappointment. A combination of nice things with missed ones. The engine feels good but driving position is unnatural to me, gearbox too short for all those hp (110kmph 4000rpm), sozius chair a joke inclined a bit backwards, exhaust pipes fixed with a black long stick at the rear side. Like the designers were some talented guys too busy to smoke and drink coffee and missed the deadline for their project. I do not see many customers for this foxocamel. Like Buell wouldn't be in the same courtyard to inspire from. Bulldog is way better at a fraction of the 11000 euros for the XR. The poor selling of this XR will be a good reason for Harley to stay out of the real bikes world. I saw some statistics showing that all major moto brands are going down as market share in Germany except HD, which grew 17% last year. So many are in need for some living room decoration?

Hi Tik,

As Johnny Teabag would say, 'Harley Davidson' also known as 'Hardly Developed Son!'.

Now I'll be in trouble!
