Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200 relies on a 1202 cc (73.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 3,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 74.9 HP per liter and a 3,300 rpm working window between peak torque (3,700 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the XR1200 measures 250 kg (551 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 765 mm (30.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,515 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.3-liter (3.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
