Harley-Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight

Introducing the 2011 Harley-Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of custom cruising with a nod to classic styling and modern performance. Positioned within Harley's iconic Sportster lineup, the Forty-Eight is designed for those who seek both performance and individuality. With its muscular stance, low seat height, and a price tag starting at $10,499 (depending on country and accessories), this bike appeals to both seasoned riders and newcomers who want to make a statement on the road. At the heart of the Forty-Eight is a robust 1201.25 cc V2 engine that delivers an exhilarating 107 Nm of torque at 4,000 RPM. This powerplant is perfectly paired with a 5-speed transmission and an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) system that ensures smooth power delivery and impressive fuel efficiency of about 49.52 mpg. Whether cruising through city streets or carving up winding country roads, the bike's agile handling is supported by its mild steel tubular frame and 30° rake, allowing for confidence-inspiring stability. With a seat height of just 26 inches, riders can easily plant their feet, making it an inviting choice for those who may be shorter in stature. The Forty-Eight is not just about power; it boasts an array of features that enhance both comfort and performance. Its distinctive styling is complemented by a stylishly minimalist design that features a 7.95-liter fuel tank and a striking assortment of color options, including Vivid Black, Brilliant Silver Pearl, and Sedona Orange. The bike's front suspension utilizes a 39 mm fork for a smooth ride, while the dual-adjustable rear coil-over suspension allows customization of preload settings. With modern conveniences like electric start and a 24-month unlimited mileage warranty in the US, the Forty-Eight combines classic aesthetics with contemporary technology. **
