2011 Harley-Davidson XR 1200X Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Harley-Davidson XR 1200X utilizes a 1201.3 cc (73.3 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 88.9 x 96.8 mm (3.5 x 3.8 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the XR 1200X measures 259.9 kg (573 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 742 mm (29.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,524 mm (60 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13.25-liter (3.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.17 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 256 km (159 miles) between fill-ups.
