Looks like they did some pretty radical mods to the Street 750, in order to turn it into a flat tracker.

Crank up the volume, and listen to these 750's sing.

Thanks for the link - very cool video.

I read somewhere that Vance & Hines did most of the mods.

those are the Street 750's they were talking about using? At least the ice racing 750's looked like streets...

thats awesome, but as living on said, the above looks better, at least they still look like streets. I think it's important to keep them looking as close as they were in their most basic form

The flattrackers were built that way using special construction chassis for the sole purpose of handling properly while racing straight on, and sliding sideways on dirt.
H-D is certainly doing this to attract young people (the market they are after) to the excitement of flattrack racing (which they have a lengthy history of participation) along with and more importantly seeing and hearing the potential of their new powertrain the XG750.

seriously they would do well for themselves to sell those to the public. The type of bike that buell no longer sells Every other brand capitalizes on their racing pedigree yet Harley seems shy about it...

C'mon think about those a street fighter, imagine HD Street 500 Roadster vs Yamaha fz09 you want to talk about pulling in a new audience that's your avenue right there!

The New XG750 engine really has potential.
