One Owner – 1978 Harley-Davidson XLCR

In America, Cafe Racer by Abhi6 Comments

The XLCR is a Harley that I can’t help featuring, mainly because of how different it was from everything else they were building at the time. It was also one of the many bikes in history that was initially hailed as an instant collector bike…that no one bought. Designed by Willie G. Davidson, this bike was supposed to be a black beauty featuring HD’s most powerful production engine yet. The lovely siamese exhaust and bikini fairing were very unique – this was quite the (nearly) chrome-less departure for Harley.

This specific XLCR is being offered by Valentina’s Garage but it’s had just one owner and has 6,359 miles on the odometer. This low mileage was partially due to the fact that the bike spent 15 years in storage, but it’s claimed to be all original and run like new. It even has the original tires, which the seller suggests you replace if you want to put some more miles on this cafe racer. Note that while the bike is claimed to be all original, it’s been completely disassembled, professionally painted, and reassembled.
