Overview

Introducing the 2021 Harley-Davidson Iron 1200, a striking custom-cruiser that beautifully blends classic styling with modern engineering. Positioned within Harley's Sportster lineup, the Iron 1200 stands out with its raw, minimalist aesthetic, capturing the hearts of both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. At an MSRP starting at $9,999, this bike invites you to embrace the open road without compromising on the iconic heritage that Harley-Davidson is known for. With an aggressive stance and a commanding presence, the Iron 1200 is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement. At the heart of the Iron 1200 lies a powerful 1202cc V2 engine, delivering a robust 99 Nm of torque at just 3,500 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse provides an exhilarating riding experience, allowing for smooth acceleration and confident overtaking on the highway. The engine's compression ratio of 10.0:1 and electronic sequential port fuel injection ensure optimal performance, making every ride as thrilling as it is efficient, with a fuel consumption rate of 4.90 liters per 100 km (or an impressive 48 mpg). Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, the Iron 1200 offers a seamless blend of power and control, making it ideal for both city cruising and long-distance adventures. The Iron 1200 is equipped with features that enhance both comfort and safety. Its inverted front fork and twin shocks in the rear provide a responsive ride, absorbing bumps with ease while maintaining stability on the road. The bike's low seat height of 653 mm (25.7 inches) makes it accessible for riders of various heights, while the optional ABS on the dual-piston disc brakes ensures confident stopping power. The stylish minimalist design is complemented by a selection of bold color options, including Vivid Black and Stone Washed White Pearl, allowing riders to express their individuality. With a fuel tank capacity of 12.50 liters (3.30 gallons), the Iron 1200 is ready to take you on those long, sunlit rides. **

Pros

  • Iconic Styling: The Iron 1200’s classic looks, combined with modern performance, make it a standout in the custom-cruiser category.
  • Strong Engine Performance: With a robust torque output and efficient fuel consumption, it offers both power and economy for diverse riding scenarios.

Cons

  • Limited Passenger Comfort: The minimalist seat design may not provide sufficient comfort for long rides with a passenger.
  • Weighty Feel: At 248.1 kg (547.0 pounds), some riders may find the Iron 1200 feels heavy, especially during slow maneuvers.
  • Basic Technology Features: While it offers essential features, it lacks some of the advanced tech found in newer models, which may not appeal to tech-savvy riders.
