1978 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle in Scottsdale, Arizona for sale in Scottsdale, AZ
Vehicle Description The term Cafe Racer was originally a European term coined in the early 1960s for wannabe riders trying to emulate road racers but were often found parked outside local cafes or pubs.
It evolved into a subculture of riders with motorcycles modified for speed and handling rather than comfort.
Bodywork and control layout often mimicked that of a contemporary Grand Prix racing bike.
The XLCR was Harley-Davidson's entry into that marketplace.
This 1978 example is finished in black with matte black exhaust pipes.
It's powered by a 1000cc V-twin engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.
From the Larry Winkler Collection.
