Harley unveils new dirt bike model in America
Published December 1, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson Inc. today announced that it is making its new XR1200 dirt track racing motorcycle model available for sale in the United States.
Inspired by the XR750, the most dominating American dirt track racing motorcycle of all-time, the XR1200 was initially designed and launched only in European markets in April.
The XR2200 features technical innovation to provide potent street performance and handling. Harley-Davidson dirt track racers Scott Parker and Rich King participated in the XR1200 development.
"The XR1200 is an exciting motorcycle with an aggressive attitude," said Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson's vice president of core customer marketing. "This bike will provide the performance and distinct style demanded by uncompromising riders. In fact, hundreds of XR1200s were ordered by enthusiastic customers before we really even promoted it."
The XR1200 is available in black, orange pearl and pewter denim colors. The motorcycle has a suggested retail price of $10,799.
