The Appeal
The Harley-Davidson XLCR1000 is unique in the range of models built by the famous Milwaukee company, in that it is definitely not built on the same 'laid-back' lines as its tourer stable-mates.
The ‘CR’ part of the title stands for ‘Café Racer’, and the bike’s appearance is radically different to more familiar Harleys.
Styling changes included a ‘bikini’ fairing, a slim front fender, a reshaped fuel tank, a pillion-free seat and the distinctive two-into-two ‘siamesed’ exhaust.

The café racer movement began in the UK in the 1950s, born out of the rock’n’roll scene. Fast, lightweight bikes, usually Triumphs or Nortons at the time, were stripped of unnecessary adornments and launched a new sub-culture that was soon to spread around the world.
Harley-Davidson’s chief designer, Willie G Davidson, had his eye on the scene and it’s suggested that he first designed the XLCR 1000 as a bike for his own use.

Not popular with customers on its launch in 1977, the model survived in the Harley range for just two years, but was something of a ‘poster bike’ for enthusiasts in the 1980s and by the end of the twentieth century it had become a collectors’ item.
With only three thousand examples produced, the bike is now sought-after and values continue to increase.

The History and Paperwork
- Part of a collection
- Matching numbers
- Largely unmolested, original example
- 6743 miles
- 2 sets of keys
This bike is being sold by the vendor on behalf of a collector, who is reducing the size of his stable of rare and unusual bikes.
Sadly, there is no paperwork at all for this example, but the current owner bought it from a Midlands company who had imported it from the USA as a project.
It’s been in storage for the last few years and doesn’t currently run, although the electrics all seem to function correctly with no attempt to start it. It’s not currently UK-registered.

It’s a matching-numbers bike, though, with only 6743 miles on the odometer.
The Condition
- In need of care and attention
- Mostly original
The bike is in need of some care and attention, as is evident from the pictures.
It is in largely original condition, although the wheels have been painted.
It is in largely original condition, although the wheels have been painted.
There’s no seat - although it is on the way in delivery, the fairing is broken, the badges are missing from the fuel tank and there’s a significant chip in the paint on the tank. The reflector from the front left fork is missing.
With so few bikes in existence, parts can be tricky to obtain and hence the vendor is selling this as a ‘spares or repair’ project.
The Mechanics
- 997cc V-twin engine
- 4-speed transmission
- Not currently in working order
- Has compression
- Gears engage
- Most parts present
Although not as quick as some contemporary Japanese bikes, the XLCR1000 was capable of covering the standing quarter-mile in around twelve seconds, and would remain the fastest bike in the Harley range until the launch of the XR1000, some six years later.
The bike is not currently in working order; there are no keys with it, although the vendor confirms that it has compression and the gears all engage. The chain and brake discs are somewhat rusty.
Summary
An increasingly rare bike, that was a milestone in Harley-Davidson history and has a dedicated following, the XLCR 1000 is a collectors’ item and current values reflect this.
While in need of some care and attention, this is a largely original example that the vendor is selling with a reserve that reflects its condition.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
