1958 XLC

Postby hennesse » Mon Sep 08, 2014 9:31 am

I'm wondering how many 1958 XLC bikes were made, as I never see or hear of any (not that I see or hear of many 1958 XLCHs for that matter).

A low-compression racing engine seems a little counter-intuitive.

Any thoughts?

JMHO, They were Invested in the KR,KRTT and KHRM's to the point of it just not being worth the time and money. That's a very narrow,nitch market and the R&D would have been far more expensive then the K's,which had a loyal following and multi-year head start on them. Again,just my Opinion,but from a money stand point,it makes sense.
