Checking the results, a Harley-Davidson led most of the 25 lap main but the rider had an incident with the eventual winner and had an accident, he got up, got back into the race and finished 6th. A Harley did finish 4th. Neither of these riders were on the factory Harley-Davidson bikes, the GX750R. Both were independents, riding XR750s. Though old, the XR is still competitive. It is a legendary bike, that still has allot of fight in it, but it is getting long in the tooth, though still competitive and it will be around for a number of years and will likely get a few more wins before it is completely retired, (it has been raced since the early 1970s) The factory felt the need for a new design, to better compete with Indian and the other brands, that are fielding new bikes. The fact that the XR750 is still competitive and was literally holding off Indian's best, is a testament to how good this bike is and has always been! The factory team, riding GX750Rs, finished 10th, 11th and 15th. Like I said, they have ALLOT of work to do!
