SuMo or RC8- what else could it be?

I'll leaning towards the latter, but either would be a lot of fun...

I took a drive up to Victorville last Sunday, Cajon Pass and the surrounding mountains had a lot of snow.

Continued to see a friend at the local shop up there, where he's General Manager.

My friend Dave, I used to roadrace with him at Willow Springs and haven't seen him for a long time, was great to see him....he used to be GM at San Diego Harley.

I saw this new XR1200R on the floor............

Actually, I ordered one of 750 made for the US the first round, from a shop in Las Vegas. They told me it would be in January or February, so I was thinking maybe March. Well, much to my surprise I got a call a week later, saying my bike just came off the truck in Vegas. I ordered it in Vegas because I was told it might be months before the California models would be approved. I delayed picking the bike up in Vegas a week, and during that week, one of Dave's sales guys from Victorville Harley called me and said they had a CA bike on the floor and the guy who ordered it bailed on the deal, so I figured better to buy from my friend's shop and also buy a CA bike so I wouldn't have to deal with Nevada registered bike.

Finally Harley has built a bike that has some good performance and handling characteristics and 90 HP. I also got a full 7 year warranty on it.

Here's a few more from when I had it on display at my house and my friend's came over for bike night.

Merry Christmas to me, and to y'all !!

Now I'm dieing to get it out on the twisties, the bike is supposed to work pretty good. BTW, it has Dunlop Qualifiers on it, and the rear is a 180......same size as most sportbikes. Now I can't wait to smoke some sportbikes on this thing :o

Wow! Everything I read said they weren't coming (staying in) to the US. Glad to see I'm not as updated as I thought. Outstanding reviews. Congrats and have fun!

It will look just fine with me trying to keep up with you on the twisties on my VMax.... but then again... you might loose me in the twisties but you will have to show me what it's got down deep to make up for it in the straightaways :blink:

NICE bike, let's ride soon!

Found this today and I could not help myself and laugh my ass off when I saw it.

I thought of your post here and just had to have a little fun and share it with you and the rest here... :lol:

Seriously, I like the music so much I added it to my MP3 player to listen to next time I ride! B)

CHEERS!
