About Harley-Davidson® Sportster® Motorcycles

Mar. 9 2020 Miscellaneous By ___

Harley-Davidson has quite the impressive line of motorcycle families, but perhaps their most iconic one is the Sportster family. These bikes were originally introduced in the 1950s and they have more than withstood the test of time. Still popular with all sorts of riders to this day, the Sportster motorcycles have come to embody the soul of the brand’s classic American style.

SuperLow®

Made to maintain a beefy performance up and down city streets, the SuperLow™ models have a low-set frame that provides riders with a unique experience and an easy ride due to the lower center of gravity and low-slung bucket seat. Don’t forget the long-travel rear suspension and the easy-grip handlebars that make sure to round things out for a comfortable riding position. 

An 883cc air-cooled Evolution® engine offers superior power and low-end torque for maximum control. Emulsion rear shocks will cushion you over every bump, along with the reliable and stable foundation brake system.

Iron 883™ & 1200™

Those who prefer their bikes to have a throwback look should look into the stylish Iron 883 and the Iron 1200 models. These Sportster motorcycles bring a lot to the table, including a blacked-out finish for that signature old-school look when cruising the city streets. 

The lowered rear and front suspensions provide a confident and comfortable ride but still manage to offer impressive levels of responsiveness to rider input. Both the 883cc and 1200cc Evolution engines make it so the Iron Sportsters can soar down the street with air-cooled power. You’ll also enjoy a classic Café Solo seat, retro tank art and mini-ape handlebars.

Forty-Eight®

As you may guess by its name, the Forty-Eight offers a classic 1948 style peanut tank with a smooth shape. This Sportster motorcycle also comes with plenty of power thanks to its iconic air-cooled V-Twin engine housed in a low frame for all the satisfying torque you should expect when riding a Harley motorcycle. 

The customizations on this Sportster motorcycle are reminiscent of the 70s rebellious biker culture, including the slammed handlebars that require an aggressive riding posture and a fat MT90 front tire. 

Roadster™

You’ll be riding on pure smoke and steel with the Roadster as this bike comes equipped with a 1200cc engine. There are the 43mm front suspension, inverted forks and dual disc front brakes with floating rotors that come together to form the ideal responsive riding experience. You won’t want to get off this Sportster motorcycle when your ride is over. Slammed handlebars and a classic finish will surely turn heads wherever you choose to ride.

The Sportster family has attracted new and veteran riders all over America for decades. As long as Harley-Davidson continues to improve this family each year, riding enthusiasts will continue getting pumped up about these incredible bikes. As your local Sportster dealer, we know there’s much more to these bikes than we can mention here. So why not come down to St. Charles Harley-Davidson and see these beasts for yourself?
