With the AMA rule changes introduced in 1969 the Harley Davidson KR became obsolete. The XR was introduced in 1970 and went on to become the most successful model in AMA history. Originally fitted with cast iron heads, a redesign in 1972 saw an all alloy motor with a revised bore/stroke. 82hp at 7,700rpm. Dry weight 134kg. Top speed 185kph. This a 1975 model and has been restored to the specification it finished its racing career. The frame, motor, wheels & tank are original.
