Harley Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight (2011)

Harley Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight (2011)

The all-new Forty-Eight is an urban brawler that exudes attitude from every angle, its fat, balloon tires and all-steel peanut tank a perfect blend of style and aggression.

Its custom touches define this bulldog of a bike, with a slammed speedometer, under bar mounted mirrors, and 26-inch seat height combining for a low profile stance. The menacing look is completed by the peanut tank, big 16-inch wheels, and chopped front fender.

Under the skin, the Forty-Eight boasts a powerful Evolution V-Twin powertrain with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), delivering a robust and responsive ride. And when you need to slow down, the chrome shorty dual exhaust with slash-cut mufflers and forward foot controls come into play.

With its combination of style, power, and attitude, the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight is sure to leave a lasting impression on any road it conquers.
