Was at HD dealership today picking up come gaskets to service S3T. White XR1200X was sitting in dealership. I know there are a few HD haters on this site but that bike looked pretty SWEEEET. Test rode a 2009 a while back. Was not near as fast as my Buell. Thought a while about a black 2009 that they were going to sell me for $9K, but decided to keep the Buell. Think I still will keep the Buell, but if I had to buy a new HD......

Still a porker, with a shot-glass fuel tank.

If I get another HD (I rode the pi$$ outta my '96 FLHP for years), it'll be something DESIGNED to be a porker, not a porker masquerading as a "sporty" bike.

But that won't be for a few long years yet...between my S2 with both sets of bags, and the Uly with OEM Journey bags and 50L Journey topcase, I have all the touring capability I could ever need.

Yeah, give HD about forty years and they'll catch up to '90s Buell tuber technology.....maybe.

According to the specs, it's 100 lbs heavier than an S3 and about 20hp less. I hear Harley is coming out with it's own line of vitamins to keep their geriatric owners healthy enough to ride.

Maybe HD could build a special bike for Geritol complete with daily compartments to hold their customer's meds.
