The unbridled essence of a true sport motorcycle – that’s what the Harley-Davidson XLH 1200 Sportster embodies.
Its 1200cc Evolution V-Twin engine delivers an abundance of torque, revving with a deep, throaty growl that’s unmistakably Harley. The Sportster’s slender frame and low-rise handlebar invite aggressive riding positions, while its narrow tank and classic solo seat exude timeless style.
With the introduction of new high-contact ratio cam gears and a high efficiency oil pump, the 2001 model year Sportsters boast improved engine refinement and reduced oil consumption. Additionally, Dunlop Harley-Davidson Series tires provide enhanced grip and handling capabilities.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just discovering the thrill of two-wheeled excitement, the XLH 1200 Sportster offers an unparalleled riding experience that’s both exhilarating and accessible.
