I'd suggest not trying this if you have the black-w/white pinstriped (fast) model. The R1200R decal IS under the clearcoat. It would be quite the mess if you managed to get it to start coming off..

True - But, not being loyal to any particular motorcycle marque I'll admit that the Harley Night Train was on my short list when I was bike shopping in 2007. The Beemer won out, but I'd still like one of those big black retro bikes in the garage someday.

Harley doesn't really consider the Night Train retro. It has all of their latest wizardry.

I'm just sayin'.

IMHO - all Harleys (except the V-Rod) are retro. Not a dig just IMHO.

I do like the look of certain Harleys. They have a way of designing motorcycles which have a mechanical beauty all their own. Its just when I sit on one or hear one, I do not want one with one exception. The new V-Rod, if I was a motorcycle collector, would be in my garage.

Has anyone seen an R with no stickers and no tank BMW badge? Maybe a mini farkle to smooth out the spot where the BMW badge was?
