Here's my favorite Sportster, although I also like the café jobs. I got to ride one for a few days and it's handling and braking were amazing. Speed and acceleration were adequate, not up to the CB's level.
The XR may be a collector's item in a decade or two. The XR 750s from the '70's sure are. Right now you can get an XR1200 pretty cheap.
When the XR1200 first came out in the US, I was close to buying one but the foot pegs were right where my shins and calves landed when I was holding the bike up. I thought I could buy rearsets to fix the situation but I never pulled the trigger on the bike. The XR1200 is pretty affordable now, as you say, and possibly I should reconsider and pick one up?
