Description

The 2018 Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight delivers classic cruiser character with a torquey 1,202cc V-twin that makes city riding and open-road blasts equally satisfying. Its low-slung profile and responsive low-end punch give an engaging, easy-to-ride feel—confident at low speeds yet eager when you open the throttle.

With only 6,761 miles and a tidy grey finish, this Forty-Eight blends iconic style with everyday usability. The solo seating and compact footprint make parking and short commutes simple, while the well-maintained condition ensures reliable weekend touring. A great choice for a rider seeking personality and practicality in one package.
