Here's a nifty and impressive proof that Harley's XR1200R Sportster was not evil enough: UK's amazing Shaw Speed & Custom bestowed their magic on such a bike and transferred it so it became well-worthy of receiving another hard-earned R to the suffix slot.
Sporty already, the XR1200R still leaves plenty of room for improvements, so Shaw S&C went ahead and added some performance tuning to the v-twin, making it even more nervous and less forgiving with the unskilled rider. If the original bike was evil and in no way suitable for inexperienced riders, the RR version is even more savage.

For track us, Shaw Speed & Custom added a pro-grade carbon fiber belly pan which is a nifty visual match with the rest of the bike, and which also leaves plenty of room for sponsor decals.

A racing-grade 2-into-1-into-2 exhaust in carbon fiber is also present, alongside multiple other carbon parts. Also on the performance side, the XR1200R got a carbon rear brake rotor, Öhlins gas-charged rear shocks, while the Vance&Hines fully digital dash with carbon accents stresses out the sporty attire of the bike.

Add in a single headlight protruding through the number plate, ProTaper bars and a bright green racing livery for a complete package with will definitely shine at the track.
