Up for auction is a superb and rare photo of the great Scott Parker with his Harley-Davidson XR 750 factory racing bike.<br>Dirt track racing is a tough and demanding game. These days, but in the past as well. Its practitioners are a hearty breed. They have a few heroes, Scott Parker is definitely one of them.<br>Before he went professional he was one of the most dominant forces ever in amateur racing. In 1979, aged 17, he became the youngest rider ever to gain eligibility for the A.M.A. Camel Pro Series Dirt Track racing. He won two Nationals during his rookie season. He gained a reputation as a fearless competitor who was almost impossible to beat when everything clicked.<br>The HD XR750 is without doubt Harley-Davidsons most successful racing motorcycle ever. It still is an all-conquering XR750 dirt track race bike. The XR750 first raced in the<br>United States<br>national series in 1972. The bike has achieved phenomenal success on the<br>US<br>oval dirt track race circuit including three successive national victories from 1976 to 1978 for Jay Springsteen and five in a row for Scott Parker from 1994 to 1998. The H-D XR 750 was made even more famous by Evel Knievel. Knievel not only raced the bikes, it was an XR750 that he used for most of his spectacular record breaking jumps.<br>The bike is still going strong today, in the year 2000 the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) championship was again won on a Harley-Davidson XR750, this time the winning racer was Joe Kopp. A shake-up in the sport for 2001, which allowed 1000cc entries, presented a new challenge for the standard setting XR750, but its superior handling ability and proven reliability was often enough to beat the competition.<br>It is a very nice<br>non period<br>photo that reflects a great era in Harley motorcycle racing history in a wonderful way, it definitely is a classic shot. It is rare to obtain a photo like this, especially because of the nice large format of approx. 8" x 11" (20 x 28cm), which makes it perfect for framing.<br>It is great the way it is, and would look gorgeous when framed.
