Seller's Description
1984 Harley-Davidson XR1000. This motorcycle has zero miles on the clock and is in original condition. It was bought new in the usa by a Harley-Davidson dealer and kept in his own private collection until a few years ago when he retired. These machines were produced in very limited numbers and are ultra rare, more so that it has zero miles. $30,000 firm With limited time and money in 1969, Harley-Davidson's racing manager Dick O'Brien and his team used elements of existing designs to put together a new OHV racer, but rather than start from scratch they decided to modify their existing OHV racer: the Sportster-based 900 cc (55 cu in) XLR magneto-equipped race engine with a 3.0000 in (7.620 cm) bore and a 3.8125 in (9.684 cm) stroke. The engine was again re-designed for 1972 with an all-aluminum head and cylinder package with bigger bore and shorter stroke for the same 750cc displacement. The frame and the running gear were held over from the KRTT racer, with a Ceriani front fork and two Girling rear shocks.[8] The fuel tank, fenders, and rear seat/fender combination were fiberglass, with a snap down seat cover over a foam cushion.To comply with AMA homologation rules, two hundred examples were made and could be had upon request at Harley-Davidson dealers. As with the KR, customers began asking for a street-legal XR from its debut. Harley-Davidson finally introduced the Sportster XR-1000 street bike 13 years after the XR-750 racer. The XR-1000 used XR-750 heads, but kept the Sportster engine, frame and other parts. The XR-1000 was discontinued after only two years,
