In fact, no other race car or motorcycle has won as many races over such a long time period. And the victories continue today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the legendary XR-750 from its development in 1970, when it was created to replace the aging KR. The first XRs used iron cylinder heads and barrels-and were painfully slow. By 1972, the motorcycles were redesigned with aluminum heads and barrels, and the XR-750 took home the trophies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFound here is the development of the XR-750 with a technical analysis of the complete motorcycle, detailing specifications, modifications, innovations, and aftermarket components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is also the story of the men who designed, tuned and raced the XR-750. It was their engineering skill, iron-willed riding and tuning secrets that made the motorcycle a winner. The ranks include Jay Springsteen, Dick O'Brien, Bill Werner, Scott Parker, Cal Rayborn, Mert Lawwill, the Brelsford brothers, Gary Scott, Ricky Graham, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into three parts, the motorcycle's development, the season-by-season race championships, and how the pros make the bikes go-and go fast. More than 300 photos tell the inside story of the XR-750 on the dirt track, the XR-750 and XR-1000 on the street and XRTT on the road-race circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllan Girdler writes of the Harley-Davidson XR-750 with passion, enthusiasm and firsthand experience.
