Harley Davidson XLCR Motorcycle Cafe Racer - Canyon Ride

One of my favorite motorcycles is this 1977 Harley Davidson XLCR. When the Cafe Racer popularity exploded in the mid 1970's, Harley Davidson wanted to get into the action and did so with this Willy G. design. Though not really competitive with the best of the European bikes, it was a significant leap forward for Harley in terms of both performance and certainly design. It was the first Sportster with triple disc brakes and good suspension components that made it a lot of fun in the twisties. It's 1000 CC iron head motor pulled like a freight train. Very few of these were sold in 1977 and 1978 and they became instant classics and collectables. So come along for the morning ride in the canyon and enjoy the sights and sounds!

    I remember seeing them on the road in 77 and 78. My Kawasaki 900 and KZ1000 would put them to shame any time and cost a lot less to buy. But I think they are good looking bikes, just too slow and heavy to compete with other bikes.

    For a well-maintained XLCR in this day and age, a subscription seems a small thing to ask. Done and dusted.

    Beautiful bike, again! But agree with the peanut gallery on BaT, the music was a poor choice. Nothing over that, but Motorhead "Built for speed" or "Ace of Spades" would be a good choice, but some classic Bachman Turner Overdrive, Credence, Deep purple Burn would be great, but Highway star would really fit well. Nobody gonna take my girl I'm gonna keep her to the end Nobody gonna have my girl She stays close on every bend Ooh she's a killing machine She's got everything Like a moving mouth body control And everything I love her I need her I seed her Yeah she turns me on Alright hold on tight I'm a highway star Nobody gonna take my head I got speed inside my brain Nobody gonna steal my head Now that I'm on the road again Ooh I'm in heaven again I've got everything Like a moving ground an open road And everything I love it and I need it I seed it V twin is all mine Alright hold on tight I'm a highway star Nobody gonna take my ride I'm gonna race it to the ground Nobody gonna beat my bike It's gonna break the speed of sound Ooh it's a killing machine It's got everything Like a driving power big fat tires And everything I love it and I need it I bleed it Yeah it's a mad hurricane Alright hold on tight I'm a highway star I'm a highway star I'm a highway star

    I ride an XLCR and it doesn't need any sound other than that Ironhead thrashing away. Believe me.

    I think these are possibly the worst looking motorcycles Harley ever made. Willie G. couldn’t make up his mind if he wanted a flat tracker or a road racer. He got neither and now we know why they only made them for 2 years. Having said that, this is a nicely preserved example.
