Harley Davidson XL 1200C Sportster Custom (2004 - 2005)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200C Sportster Custom is a potent performer that combines style with substance. Its 1200cc Evolution engine, boasting high-compression cylinder heads and high-performance cams, delivers a strong punch in the low-end torque department.
