Harley-Davidson XR1200 coming home to USA?
Harley just purchased the rights to use the XR1200 name in America from Storz Performance. Could this mean Harley will sell the XR750-inspired performance bike in the country of its origin? The XR1200 has been declared a Europe-only model by the company, despite being manufactured in Missouri and calls from American enthusiasts of form and function for the model to be sold here. Storz was using the name to sell a flat track performance kit for the 1200 Sportster. via Motorcycle.com

That is full of awesome. It would be great to see Harley bring the "sporty" Sportster to the states. I've read nothing but good things and positive reviews about the XR.
Harley is starting to interest me. The vrod is less awful than everything in the last ten years, Buell's got a Rotax, they talk of buying MV Augusta, and I thought the XR1200 was a winner from its inception. Right on.
It's really going to boggle the mind if they don't bring it in.
Uh, they're kind of already in Kansas City, aren't they?
