I must say . . . my XR-1000 was one of my favorite motorcycles . . . . along with my XLCR (I bought them both the same day) that I have ever owned.

I saw that, it's beautiful! Not in my price range right now...

Too bad it's being run up by a 0 feedback bidder

It would be the pinnacle of irony if someone bought it, parted it out, and put the motor in their Buell.

Not advocating, just pointing out that destroying a rare thing to create something less rare is generally pretty f'ing stupid.

Ironically, the only thing special about that bike is the motor, whereas on a Buell the motor is generally the only thing NOT special :P.

The letdown was the old gear box, not real strong.
A friend has one & an Cl cafe racer iron head love seeing them though

That's not entirely out of the question. A number of RR1000s died for XR1000 restorations and parts. Some of those RR1000 chassis are bound to still be out there. Where else would somebody get a proper engine to restore the bike? An XR would probably have to die to make that happen.
