You lucky bastard! Did you manage to find out the weight of the bike? Also, on the right side is a black piece with the HD logo on it. On a closeup photo it seems to have a bunch of tubes entering into it. Is that a catch can?

I'm guessing it's the throttle body cover.



So Bert, you as the first XLF member on the XR1200...I don't believe it. I mean, I know those test riders HAVE to be members. ;):D

Did you notice they assembled it without proper instructions. The dang fools put the forks on upside down. And furthermore, they mounted the air cleaner up under the right side of the gas tank. ...amateurs




hahaha
Looks great

Bert,

Just curious how tall you are? And how did you feel the bike fit you? It looks like a fairly upright riding position from your picture.

I am 5'8" It fit just fine.

Hey Bert I just thought maybe we should have another pic of you to get an idea of how tall you are-

I held onto this in case of need for blackmail material :roflblack

How does the seat feel Bert? Do you think it would be pretty comfortable? Also how is the seating position?
