Grand National First Edition

Grand National First Edition

It’s not hard to build a flat tracker that performs well and looks good. But it’s tricky to make one that’s street legal too. SHR has shown the way with its Grand National Replica a rip-roarin’ tribute to the Harley XR750. The spec sheet looks tempting: for starters: this motorcycle weighs 380 lbs and is running a 1200 cc 105 hp Buell XB motor. That engine is wrapped in a custom TIG-welded 4130 cromoly frame available in nickel chrome or painted finishes. The other components are equally solid: the 19” wheels controls and brakes are from Performance Machine the bars from K&N the muffler from Supertrapp and the rear mono shock is from Penske. SHR is a Minnesota outfit run by Bill Hofmeister a former Canadian National Champion (Expert 750 Class) with 38 years of Pro class racing under his belt. So you can assume that this Harley is pretty well sorted. It’s a limited edition of just 25 and as SHR’s ads note “It performs better than a 401K.” What would you rather put your money towards?
