1984 Harley-Davidson XR1000
From the Allen Vintage Motorcycle Museum collection. A near perfect example
of this collectible classic. A total of only 1170 miles on the bike. Certainly
one of the finest examples in the world of this rare classic.
Produced in very limited numbers, the XR1000 is regarded by many as one of Harley
Davidson's best motorcycles. Based on the standard Sportster, the engine was highly
modified and used cylinder heads and twin Dell'Orto carburetors from the XR750 race bike.
The motorcycle was frighteningly fast but was discontinued after only two years of limited
production making it, today, a highly desirable collector piece.
