Engine
The air-cooled 1202cc is all torque – 74ftlb of it – with not a lot more horsepower to top off the lowdown punt, but then it is based on the 1200 Sportster but with higher compression and upswept, high volume 2:1:2 exhausts.
Ride and Handling
The addition of Showa pig piston forks and piggyback shocks puts the accomplished XR1200 onto another rung of the handling ladder. There’s a lot more feedback from front and rear wheels and the front end feels considerably more settled on the brakes. At the same time it is supple enough to rubbish the Queen’s crumbling highways. This means you can actually wring every last drop of performance from the XR1200X and make use of it. Or simply enjoy the slow revving nature of the bike with an improved, polished even, ride quality.
Equipment
The XR1200 scores 2 out of 3 for equipment in its review because of its very basic spec. The 1200X nets another mark because of the very capable – very desirable – Showa suspension.
Quality and Reliability
The Harley-Davidson chassis range is slowly but surely getting updated. Better brakes and suspension figure highly, as per the XR1200 and XR1200X. But somewhere along the line H-D have forgotten about the simple things like why is the clutch cable flapping in the breeze; why are the footpegs and foot controls so chunky-ugly yet so loose, and so on?
Harley-Davidson has come up with a promising addition to the 2010 model year, the 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200X motorcycle.
The motorcycle will be launched in the European, American and Middle Eastern markets, in 2010.
Harley-Davidson’s 2010 model line-up will also include an updated Electra Glide, Fat Boy, and an all-new Dyna Wide Glide model.
The Harley-Davidson XR1200 series was launched in 2008, and was inspired by the very popular Harley-Davidson XR750.
“Inspired by one of the world’s most successful racing machines, the iconic XR750, the XR1200X range was born out of a desire for a street smart Harley-Davidson motorcycle that is just as dominant through the twisties,” the company has said.
Combining American and European styles, the 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200X motorcycle was designed to provide its riders with the sheer pleasure of riding.
Equipped with fuel-injected, high-torque 1202cc engines with precision-cooled cylinder heads and impressive torque via a 5 speed gearbox, the Harley-Davidson XR1200 series has been very popular.
The Harley-Davidson XR1200X motorcycle features blacked-out engine casing, fully-adjustable 43 mm upside-down forks, and a matte black tail, fully adjustable twin rear shock absorbers, tank and mudguards giving it an aggressive look.
It also features higher specification Showa suspension, powerful Nissin front brakes with 4 piston calipers and 292mm patented uniform expansion rotors, and superb rider ergonomics designed for an European male rider of average height.
The Harley-Davidson XR1200X motorcycle has an upswept, high-volume 2-1-2 Straight shot exhaust system finished in Black Denim.
In terms of style, the 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200X motorcycle is an all-black model, with a completely black powertrain, exhaust and other components, giving it a mean look.
The motorcycle has wide low-rise handlebars, semi-rear seat footrests, a seat height of 795 mm, and standard pillion seat and passenger footrests.
The 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200X motorcycle is equipped with a white-faced tachometer, digital speedometer, dual tripmeter, and clock.
The motorcycle also comes with a hands-free Smart Security System, hazard warning lights that can be operated by using turn signal controls, and an aluminium alloy fuel filler.
The motorcycle has Dunlop Qualifier D209 tyres (front 120/70ZR18; rear 180/55ZR17) exclusively developed for the 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200X, lightweight cast wheels with a 3-spoke design and orange pinstripe.
Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson Vice President said, “This new-product roll-out is simply an expression of our enthusiasm for motorcycling.”
“Like everyone, we are working and living in a challenging environment these days, but our passion for creating and riding great bikes is still at full throttle,” he added.

MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS Brooks, LeBoeuf, Bennett, Foster & Gwartney, P.A. www.tallahasseeattorneys.com Our Tallahassee personal injury attorneys have over 100 years of combined legal experience handling serious personal injury and wrongful death cases in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Florida automobile accidents are governed by a no-fault law. Every Florida resident and certain non-residents that own a motor vehicle are required to purchase no-fault automobile insurance. Florida's no-fault automobile insurance contains Personal Injury Protection benefits, frequently called PIP benefits, to protect you when you have been injured in an accident. Regardless of who was at fault for your accident, your PIP insurance will usually pay most of your medical bills. The benefits payable will depend on the amount and type of coverage that you have purchased. For example, under a basic no-fault policy in Florida, your own insurance company will pay 80% of your reasonable and necessary medical expenses, and 60% of your lost wages, up to $10,000. In addition to medical expenses and lost wages, your PIP benefits may also pay for prescriptions or household help, if recommended by a doctor, plus travel expenses associated with your medical treatments. However, if you have purchased an insurance policy with a deductible, your insurance company will not pay for any of your medical bills, prescriptions or lost wages until you have met your deductible amount In addition to the benefits you are entitled to receive from your own insurance company, you may also be entitled to benefits from the party at fault for your accident. Under Florida law, the at-fault party is responsible for any property damages sustained in the accident. You may also be entitled to expenses for a rental car for a reasonable period of time. If you receive serious injuries from an accident that results in some form of permanent injury, such as scarring, or permanent physical impairment, Florida law entitles you, or your personal representative, to bring a claim against the at-fault party. This way, you can recover the full extent of your damages above and beyond the benefits provided by your No-Fault coverage. These additional damages include items such as past and future pain and suffering, lost wages, damage to your wage earning capacity, and future medical expenses. If you're married at the time of the accident, and you have permanent injuries, your spouse may be entitled to damages as a result of your injury. In addition, if you purchased uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy, you may be able to recover additional funds for your damages if they exceed the policy limits of the at-fault party, or if the other driver was uninsured. Because the laws governing personal injury cases can be very complicated and confusing, it is essential that you seek the advice of an attorney if you have any questions. A lawyer can assist you in obtaining all of the benefits that you are entitled to under Florida law. If you decide to represent yourself following an accident and are offered money by an insurance company, it is vital that you carefully read and understand any documents that you are asked to sign in exchange for the money. If you sign a general release you will be prohibited from seeking additional money in the future, even if your injuries are more serious than you originally thought. |
