About this model
About the Harley Davidson Café Racer
The Harley-Davidson XLCR Café Racer is an iconic departure from Harley's cruiser tradition, produced from 1977 to 1978. Designed by Willie G. Davidson, it grafts café racer bodywork onto the Sportster XL platform: a black bikini fairing, siamese exhaust, low bars, and a solo seat with rear cowl. The 1000 cc OHV Ironhead V-twin produces modest power, but the riding experience and silhouette are unlike anything else in the Harley lineup.
A commercial disappointment at launch, the XLCR has since become a highly coveted collector's piece. It targets riders seeking a historically significant and visually distinct Harley. The low clip-ons and compact seating position demand a more sport-oriented rider compared to conventional Harley ergonomics. A natural comparison point is the early Ducati café racers of the same era.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the Ironhead top-end for oil leaks around cylinder head bolts; the aluminium head on an iron barrel can warp if the engine has been overheated.
- Inspect the original bikini fairing and tail section for cracks or repairs; these are model-specific parts, scarce and expensive to replace.
- Examine the wiring harness for dry-rot and poor connections; the points-less ignition on later XLCRs is more reliable, but check connector condition.
- Assess the chrome siamese exhaust system; this drag-pipe setup is unique to the model and a full restoration is costly.
- Ask about primary chain and gearbox service history; worn sprockets and neglected primary chain adjustment are common areas of deferred maintenance.
