Harley Davidson Sportster Motorcycles

The Sportser model from Harley Davidson is the bike that typifies what Harley motorcycles are all about. Tradition, power and stunning looks has given the Sportster range a life since 1957. Today - they are as popular as ever with superb online deals for both new and used models.

The new Sportster range is happy to live up to its live-wire and exciting reputation. The engines of the Sportster’s range vary from 883cc to an impressive 1200cc Evolution engine. It comes equipped with a 3.3 gallon fuel tank, but you can increase this to a 4.5 gallon tank if you desire, but it will cost more. The most welcoming recent introduction to the Sportster range is the reduced clutch effort which of course makes riding easier and opens all the models to a wider range of motorcycle riders. The narrow frame of all the Sportster’s makes them more agile which again improves its ride-ability.

There are seven models within the Sportster family, all of the models in the family start with the code XL. The entry level motorcycle is the XL 883; it packs an 883cc engine and has fantastic agility providing excellent performance for motorcyclists for over fifty years. The 883 has mid-range foot pedals and a low riding classic solo seat with powdered silver styling which makes it particularly pleasing on the eye. The XL 883C Custom is also available with features such as aluminium wheel spokes, a passenger seat and forward mounted foot pedals. The next step up is the XL 1200L Low, it has a 1200cc Evolution engine and closer solo seat to the handlebars to make rider somewhat easier.
