1983 Harley-Davidson XR-1000 Sporster

Vehicle Description

This is a rare 1983 Harley XR-1000 built in February 22,1983, the 23rd XR built out of 1748 produced during a 2 year production run. This particular bike was 1 of 41 to receive the Harley black and orange paint scheme as all others were painted slate gray. This motorcycle was first used by Harley-Davidson as a “show vehicle”, this means that it was used by different departments for pictures, to show to the dealer at the dealer show and comes with a letter of authenticity from Harley Davidson verifying this information. This motorcycle was originally sold through Robison Harley-Davidson in Daytona Beach Fl. and was sold on April 13, 1983. This motorcycle has now had four owners.

The XR-1000 was Harley’s street version of the famous XR-750 dirt-tracker. Each XR-1000 came with the same dual carb heads as the 750 race bike and were all ported and polished by West Coast Performance guru Jerry Branch….right from the factory. At 70hp, the XR-1000 was Harley’s highest performance offering, and Allan Girdler in the Harley’s Buyers Guide gave it his highest 4 star rating for investment purpose. At nearly $7,000.00., the XR’s were much costlier than the crotch rockets from across the water.
