If you’re into going too fast on two wheels, chances are the name Terry Vance<\/a> has crossed your radar a time or two. The pilot of Need-for-Speed Duo Vance & Hines spread the word recently from Daytona International Speedway that a new spec series featuring the Harley Davidson XR-1200<\/a> will run this year along with select AMA road racing<\/a> events.<\/p>\n

The Vance & Hines XR-1200 Series, as it is officially being called, will kick off at Road America<\/a> this June in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, coincidentally, very close to Harley Davidson’s headquarters. Hmm. Question: How can one guarantee a Harley clad in Vance & Hines goodies will win races this year? Answer: You guessed it, the above-mentioned series is born. Looking on the bright side, at least the current economic state was taken into account when pricing the race kit.<\/p>\n

For a mere $3,500, potential racers will get full exhaust and fuel management systems and race body work that includes a number plate, solo-seat and tail section, as well as the belly-pan valance. But wait, that’s not all. A 17-inch front wheel and matching front fender, steering damper, oil cooler relocation package and race graphics is also on the menu. Now that’s what we call a deal! Of course it will be available to the public as a street legal kit as well. The claim to fame is that anyone with an XR and a dream can get involved without significant investment.<\/p>\n

Fact is, some top talent has made its way through the ranks as the result of spec class racing. Add to that, who doesn’t like to watch a good Boxer Cup<\/a> from time to time? It can be fun when the playing field is leveled a bit. Let’s hope the action is strong and the series spreads beyond it’s slated current boundaries (east of the Mississippi only) to give everyone a chance to hear the ever pleasant sounds of a big twin bouncing off the rev limiter at race-track near you.<\/p>\n
