Armed with 1,200-cubic-centimeters worth of Milwaukee muscle generating loads of torque and covered in a black powder coat. A descendant of the Motor Company’s race program. Ready to claim its inheritance on any flat surface it can find. Out front you’ve got a wide, flat handlebar that makes it a joy to throw the bike into corners. The overall effect is easy on the eyes, and even easier to ride down the road. For those who truly want to put that to the test, the tank now holds 4.5 gallons for added range. Nothing impacts the gut like raw power and time-honored shape.

For 2008 you have the option of the full, serialized Anniversary treatment shown here. But even before the 105th came along, the 1200 Custom had earned its place in history. The most powerful engine in the Sportster® line gets the full chrome treatment here, along with a vibration isolation system. You ride with forward controls. There’s a sleek 4.5-gallon fuel tank. Chrome bullet headlamp and handlebar riser. So much custom, you’ll want to share. So a two-up seat comes standard.
