Love em both ..... but I would definitely go with the XR . The newer models (like the one pictured are much better with the improved front fork brakes and all black color).
Always been a Bonnie fan (have a '76) but as much as I hate to admit it there is just something about that XR that I really like....nod goes to the hog.

Never saw one in person yet but people have told me they look very small.
they just look real weird in person its hard to explain almost like individual people designed everything that stuck it all together... stuff just doesnt seem to go together if you catch my drift.
Xr for sure but I'm not a fan of the blacked out Harley's...they need at least some chrome, I'm not a chrome fanatic but a Harley isn't the same without it
I've ridden a ton of Harley's old and new and they're great, can't beat the sound and feel.

Triumph all the way everyday! Not a fan of the XR, I like the idea of the XR but there is something about the way they executed it that doesn't look right to me.
I was at the local HD dealer picking up some Buell parts last week, they have a satin black sportster on the floor marked off by barricades. I asked the parts guy if they sold match paint as I really liked the look of that satin. He went off on a rant about how the paint & clear were garbage. He took me over and showed me all the damage caused by people sitting on the bike. The tank had marks all over it from customers just getting on and off, they decided to rope it off in hopes to keep people off of it.

sounds about right... your typical HD quality there!

Back in '05 the ex's father ordered a Electra Glide FLXH$$$$ in a beautiful dark cherry. We were out in his garage having some beers as he showcased his beautiful pig. After looking at it for a few minutes I realized it had a pinstripe on the L/H hard bag and side cover, the R/H had none.
There QA department must consist of blind monkeys.

My father owns two, one screaming eagle fat boy and one police special ultra glide
The polices special is like riding your living room couch down the street, doesn't vibrate at all, the screaming eagle vibrates but it doesn't matter because it's as fast as my 919 and has an awesome riding position if you're just going out to cruise around and make some noise
