Harley Davidson FXS Blackline (2012)

Harley Davidson FXS Blackline (2012)

The Harley-Davidson FXS Blackline is a stripped-down, high-octane take on the classic Softail design.

Key elements of the bobber movement have been distilled into its raw, unadulterated style. A high-and-tight rear fender sits atop a 144mm tire, emphasizing an authentic hardtail profile, while the Softail rear suspension mimics vintage lines with modern comfort hidden beneath.

The rigid powertrain creates a solid connection between rider and engine, allowing for tight packaging that brings the rider closer to the power. The result is a bike that’s both comfortable and raw, where classic lines meet modern sensibilities in perfect harmony.

It’s a pure ride experience, untainted by unnecessary extras, letting you connect with the road on your own terms. And what better way to do so than on a Harley-Davidson?
