Very nice.

WOW!

Damn, and to think I could have bought one of those brand new. If I only had a better job when I was in high school........................

Why no price?

Probably the old " if you need to ask you can't afford it" deal.:laugh

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!??!? how much? wait, no price!! ah!

Forgive me for my ignorance, but did they come stock like that with dual carbs? I like it.

My history of Harley book shows one just like that with twin carbs and sock A/C. Sweet.

Cool find. I wonder where it has been hiding all these year. It looks like someone has taken good care of it.

The reason there are almost no XR-1000's left is that they explode when ridden hard and there are no parts through normal channels, at best its a collector piece. the only cure for that engine is drop it off with an XR-750 expert with about seven thousand dollars (remember no parts), after that it might be reliable to 6500 RPM.
How do I know, my good friend and ex-AMA pro racer Mike Dignan played out this drama with his XR-1000 about four years ago, the result was scary fast and it handled just like a Sportster.

Yes. It was a two year only bike back about 1984.

XR heads/carbs/exhaust on unique cylinders that bolted to an iron Sportster bottom end...

Something like 3,000 were built.

All the magazines tested them and raved about them at the time. I think I still have a Cycle World with a test including Jay Springsteen.

Many of them were hotrodded. Not many stock ones around...

Cool - it's one of the late orange and black ones. Pretty rare as most were painted gray. Back in about 1990 a local dealer here had two for sale - one mechanically stock with a custom paint job, and the other one with the factory "off road use only" racing kit (bigger carbs, racing megaphone exhaust, etc.). I could have bought either for about $7000 at the time, but I didn't have $7000.....:frownone

That's the bomb! Literally.

Hi Frenchie

Best wishes

In France, XR1000 and XLCR are the most expensive sportsters....
