Carrying on a tradition started in 1957, the Sportster family continues its evolution, providing quick, responsive handling, a flat torque curve and raw, racy style.

This year, all Sportster models receive the popular bullet-style turn signals first introduced in 2000 on the FXSTD. In addition, a more rigid exhaust flange connects the exhaust system to the cylinder heads, providing improved styling and a more durable exhaust system. Finally, a new fuel shut off valve provides a more tactile feel between the on and off setting, and enhanced styling.

The Sportster 883, 883 Hugger® and Sportster 1200 continue to bring new riders into the sport, and introducing them to the world of Harley-Davidson by combining fun and value. The XL Sportster 883 Custom returns with forward foot controls, custom handlebar risers and a sporty two-up seat.

Or out of a high-dollar custom builder’s garage. Feast your eyes on the big 240-millimeter rear tire. Run them forward all the way to the 37.5-degree raked out front end. The look is pure hard tail custom. The new Rockertail™ suspension features a fender suspended right over the rear tire with no visible supports. New stop-turn-tail lights keep the rear end uncluttered. You’ve got a new cast aluminum take on our venerable horseshoe oil tank. Ghost flames on the paint. Chrome on the exposed steel. You could look forever, but then you’d miss the main attraction. We used our experience in chassis dynamics to bring a premium ride to the radical long custom. Add in the Softail® family’s trademark hidden suspension and counterbalanced Twin Cam 96B™ engine. It’s the reason why highways are endless.

Stripped-off parts. Drilled metal. Primer. A bike that gets down to the bare bones of what motorcycling is all about. The old-school chopped front fender and retro air cleaner cover. The smooth lowered suspension, closer to the road than any other Softail®. An air-cooled, rigid mounted, 1,584 cubic-centimeter Twin Cam 96B™ balanced engine, with a blacked-out finish that's pure badass. Strip down a bike to what really matters. You'll feel it in your bones.
