Harley-Davidson has opted to make a few tweaks to its sportbike-flavored Sportster, the XR1200 for the 2011 model year, and thus the XR1200X is born.

Introduced now for foreign markets, the re-suspended and re-stoppered XR1200X will be available next year for those of us in the good ol’ USA. The upgrades include fully-adjustable Showa front and rear suspension and improved front brakes.

As most of you are already aware, Doug Keim Creative Cycles is working with the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. / RIDES-XXL Magazines to build several ‘Celebrity’ bikes.   So I called a friend of mine over at Avon Tyres, Sukoshi Fahey, and asked her if Avon Tyres would like to work with Creative Cycles and become the official tire supplier to the ‘celebrity’ bikes that were being built by Creative Cycles. Sukoshi ran it up the ladder and came back with a ‘YES’.  In past years,  Avon Tyre has supplied many tires to us for the various high profile bikes we have built over the years.  So this was a great opportunity to be able to work with Avon and Sukoshi once again.  Now ALL of the Doug Keim Creative Cycles built Harley-Davidson Motor Co. / RIDES-XXL Magazine bikes we will be assembled wearing Avon Tyres.  I would like to personally say ‘THANK YOU’ for their continued support of not only our work, but these builds as well.
