Overview
Introducing the 2016 Harley-Davidson Sportster SuperLow 1200T, a motorcycle that perfectly bridges the gap between the classic Sportster lineage and the comfort-driven touring experience. This model stands out in the Harley-Davidson lineup, specifically designed for riders seeking a versatile and approachable machine. With a starting price of $11,799, the SuperLow 1200T is an ideal choice for riders who crave the iconic Harley experience without sacrificing comfort or practicality. This bike offers a unique blend of agility and long-distance capability, making it an excellent companion for weekend getaways or daily commutes. At the heart of the SuperLow 1200T is a robust 1200cc V2 engine that delivers a commendable 67.05 horsepower and a torque output of 96 Nm. This power translates into a responsive ride, especially at highway speeds, allowing riders to effortlessly cruise through open roads or navigate city streets. The six-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifting, while the air-cooled engine maintains a classic Harley character. With a fuel consumption rate of 4.90 liters per 100 km (48 mpg), this motorcycle is efficient enough for longer trips, making it a practical option for touring enthusiasts. The low seat height of 705 mm (27.8 inches) and a weight of 263 kg (579.8 pounds) enhances maneuverability, instilling confidence in riders of all sizes. The SuperLow 1200T comes packed with features designed to enhance both comfort and convenience. One of the standout elements is the adjustable windscreen, providing protection from the elements during longer rides. The bike also boasts a fuel capacity of 17.03 liters, ensuring fewer stops at gas stations and more time on the road. Front and rear disc brakes, with optional ABS, offer reliable stopping power, while the telescopic front fork and twin shock rear suspension work in harmony to provide a smooth and stable ride, even on uneven terrain. The variety of color options—from Deep Jade Pearl to Velocity Red Sunglo—allows riders to express their personality while enjoying a timeless design that Harley-Davidson is celebrated for. **
