Saw this on Ride Apart...

I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the rules for Moto GP, just enjoy watching it if its on TV, but I don't see any bike that HD makes that could be used for Moto GP...

A V-Rod doesn't seem to have ideal geometry for a Moto GP bike...

They must be paying Rossi a ton of money to leave Yamaha...

I think the date on that story may be a clue as too its authenticity...

Couldn't they use the XR1200R? It's not exactly a superbike, in fact, it's pretty far from one, but I think it's the closest they can get without Buell.

It's an April fools joke, they hate harley's over there.

But Harley was a huge name in racing back in the day.

I nearly got caught on one about running the Bathurst 1000km backwards round the track, i was very much excited till i realised it was already April 1st in Oz ha.

April Fools, of course.

Nevertheless, the VR1000 is worth mentioning. It was never competitive, but it was a factory Harley-Davidson purpose-built for AMA Superbike.
