Overview

Introducing the 2010 Harley-Davidson XL 1200C Sportster 1200 Custom, a quintessential blend of classic American motorcycle heritage and modern engineering. Positioned in the custom-cruiser category, this iconic ride invites enthusiasts to experience the open road in style and comfort. With a price tag of $9,999, it strikes a balance between affordability and the premium craftsmanship that Harley-Davidson is renowned for. The XL 1200C stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to delivering a ride that is not only visually stunning but also a joy to operate, making it a popular choice among riders who appreciate both aesthetics and performance. At the heart of the Sportster 1200 Custom lies a robust 1202 cc V-twin engine, delivering a torque-rich performance that resonates with the classic Harley sound. Producing 98 Nm of torque at a low 3200 RPM, this four-stroke powerhouse ensures exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling ride. The air-cooled engine features electronic sequential port fuel injection (ESPFI), which enhances fuel efficiency while maintaining that signature Harley responsiveness. Coupled with a smooth 5-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, the XL 1200C offers a riding experience that is both engaging and effortless, whether you're cruising through city streets or embarking on longer journeys. The Sportster 1200C's design is a feast for the eyes, combining chrome accents with a blacked-out engine for that classic custom look. The motorcycle is equipped with stainless steel low-rise handlebars and forward-mounted footpegs that enhance rider comfort on extended rides. The one-piece two-up Sportster® classic seat provides ample support for both the rider and passenger, while the low-profile rear shocks ensure a plush ride. With a ground clearance of 135 mm and a seat height of just 710 mm, it offers accessibility for riders of various heights. The attention to detail in features such as the chrome bullet headlamp and low-profile front fender further exemplifies Harley's craftsmanship and commitment to style. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The V-twin engine delivers impressive torque and acceleration, making it a joy to ride.
  • Classic Custom Aesthetics: The combination of chrome details and blacked-out components creates a timeless motorcycle appearance.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: With forward-mounted footpegs and a supportive seat, the Sportster 1200C ensures a comfortable ride for both the rider and passenger.

Cons

  • Weight: At 255 kg (562.2 pounds), it may feel heavy for some riders, especially at low speeds or during maneuvers.
  • Limited Suspension Travel: The rear suspension travel of just 54 mm may not absorb bumps as effectively as other cruisers in its class.
  • Less Modern Features: While it has the essentials, it lacks some of the high-tech features found in newer models, which may be a drawback for tech-savvy riders.
