Overview

Introducing the 2014 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom, a quintessential blend of classic American cruiser aesthetics and modern engineering prowess. Positioned in the custom-cruiser category, this motorcycle commands attention and respect on the road. With a starting price of $10,649, the Sportster 1200 Custom is designed for riders seeking an exhilarating ride without sacrificing comfort or style. Its striking presence is complemented by a plethora of color options, from the rich Amber Whiskey to the sleek Vivid Black, allowing you to express your individuality every time you hit the highway. At the heart of the Sportster 1200 Custom lies a robust V2, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 1201.25 ccm. This powerhouse delivers a remarkable torque of 107.12 Nm at just 3,250 RPM, providing the kind of low-end grunt that makes city cruising and highway merging a breeze. With a 6-speed gearbox that optimizes power delivery and a belt final drive that ensures smooth transitions, the ride is as satisfying as it is responsive. Impressively, the Sportster achieves a fuel consumption of just 2.08 liters per 100 km, translating to an outstanding 113.09 mpg. This makes it not only a pleasure to ride but also a wallet-friendly choice for long-distance journeys. The Sportster 1200 Custom is packed with features that enhance both rider comfort and technical performance. Its low seat height of 676 mm makes it accessible for riders of all sizes, while the carefully engineered rake of 29.9° and a trail of 60 mm ensure a stable and confident ride. The motorcycle is equipped with single disc brakes at both the front and rear, providing reliable stopping power when needed. Additionally, the electric starter and Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system offer modern convenience, ensuring a seamless experience whether you’re starting up for a Sunday ride or navigating through urban traffic. **

Pros

  • Stunning Design: Classic cruiser aesthetics with customizable color options that appeal to a broad range of riders.
  • Strong Performance: Powerful engine with impressive torque and fuel efficiency for an exhilarating riding experience.
  • Comfort and Accessibility: Low seat height and ergonomic design make it suitable for riders of varying heights and experience levels.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of just 2.80 liters, longer rides may necessitate more frequent stops.
  • Weight Consideration: At 250.8 kg (553 lbs), it may feel heavy to some riders, especially at low speeds or during maneuvering.
  • Single Disc Brakes: While effective, some riders may prefer dual disc brakes for enhanced stopping power, particularly in more demanding riding scenarios.
