XA42 IRL

The Harley-Davidson XA in reality

The Harley-Davidson XA was a flat-twin shaft drive motorcycle made by Harley-Davidson for the US Army during World War II. During WWII, the US Army asked Harley-Davidson to design a specification of a motorcycle much like the BMW R75 used by German forces, with shaft drive, a boxer engine, and several other features that made the BMWs exceptionally reliable and low-maintenance machines. When production had begun, the Jeep had become the Army's general-purpose vehicle of choice, ending production after only 1000 XAs were produced.

"The XA42 is a quick and nimble vehicle that gets you to the action fast. A teammate can provide cover fire in the machinegun-equipped sidecar."

— Tooltip, XA42 Motorcycle

"This motorcycle does the trick for swift one- or two-person transport over medium distances. Although typically unarmed and unarmoured, this XA/42 is equipped with a mounter sidear and powerful machine gun that lets a seated passenger blast away at the enemy."
