The 2013 Harley-Davidson XR 1200 by Zen Motorcycles is a true blend of form, function, and speed. Created by Laurent with the goal of building a beautiful Café Racer that could also conquer the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats, this motorcycle is more than just a showpiece—it's a statement of engineering excellence and racing spirit. As Laurent himself puts it, the bike was designed to be both an eye-catching work of art and a reliable machine for the road, capable of withstanding the demands of racing.
This XR 1200 made a spectacular debut at the AMD World Championship in Germany, where it took first prize in the “Street Performance” category. Following this triumph, it embarked on a remarkable journey, traveling 2,000 km from San Francisco to Wendover, Utah, before competing in the 2013 Bonneville Speed Week. After several attempts, the bike achieved a record in the 1350 M-PBG class, cementing its status as a high-performance machine.
With over 1,000 hours of work dedicated to crafting and perfecting every component, this motorcycle is a masterpiece of both design and engineering. Whether it's cruising on the road (legal in certain countries) or racing at the highest level, the 2013 Harley-Davidson XR 1200 by Zen Motorcycles is a rare and exceptional machine that combines reliability, beauty, and speed in one stunning package.
