The haters \u2013 in my experience \u2013 were a generation who spent as much time banging-on about why it should have a VR motor in it as moaning about how anachronistic the venerable 4-valve OHV XL motor was in a modern format.<\/p>\n<p>This just might be the answer. It certainly takes Harley into a completely new place and will give their detractors something to think about, especially if the new motor is an evolved VR motor, with decent power on tap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2159\" src=\"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-862x575.jpg 862w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3a.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many described the XR1200 as being the best Sportster that Harley ever made \u2013 certainly in terms of its engine \u2013 but it didn&#8217;t break &#8230; <\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/a-new-xr-for-those-who-couldnt-get-over-the-last-one-being-based-on-a-sportster\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-harley-davidson"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo3.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9yyfo-yX","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2167"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2168,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2167\/revisions\/2168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/american-v.cso2w.com\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
