Description

The 2009 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 delivers classic V-twin character with an engaging and confidence-inspiring ride. The air-cooled 1200cc engine and five-speed gearbox provide relaxed, tractable torque that suits both easy urban cruising and more spirited country roads. The fitted Vance & Hines exhaust gives the bike a commanding, authentic soundtrack without overwhelming the ride.

Practical and approachable, the Sportster’s manageable seat height and predictable handling make it simple to manoeuvre in town and park with ease. Chrome detailing, a turbine-style air filter and solid hydraulic disc brakes add style and reassurance, making this a characterful machine for everyday enjoyment.
