Likely a Derby, here is Baldy's review of Harley's new 1250cc Adventure bike.

Decent review. Sounds impressive.

Now, where's that sportbike they've been taunting us with???

Wow! Sounds like Harley has a contender in a category I never would have imagined. Nice work.  

(edit) And shoot me for a heretic, but hydraulic valves sound delightful.

When you work on your own bikes (and others), hydraulic valves are appreciated.

Doesn't sound 1/2 bad for a Hardley...

Might be the best bike Harley has ever built besides the XR750. Both built for purpose.

My search engine skills have been found wanting, but I distinctly remember a Peter Egan column from the late 70s (probably?) begging HD executives to listen to the engineers & designers at the company - not to mention customers - who desperately wanted Harley to create a road-going version of the XR750. That would have been a very cool bike...

The XR1000 was close, but not quite there. I've always wanted an XR750 road bike.

Wasn't that one pretty much a Sportster with the XR750 heads and a breathtaking pricetag?

If you know who Kevin is, you know the deal.

 Nice.

Kevin rocks.

Basically. As I recall they were a decent performer stock but were easily tweaked. I was looking to buy one many years ago, but the prices were ridiculous at the time. I can about imagine how ludicrous they are now.
