Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 (2020 – 2021)

Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 (2020 - 2021)

The Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 embodies the Dark Custom style with its blacked-out, stripped-down look that makes a bold understatement.

Its nimble handling, trademark rumble, and 70s retro-vibe tank put an exclamation point on it, delivering a modern take on what’s been putting big grins on Sportster riders’ faces for decades. The authentic 70s-inspired tank graphic is a nod to its heritage, while the Fists in the wind attitude with black Mini-Apes and Cafe solo seat evoke a sense of freedom.

With a powerful 1200cc engine at your command, you’ll experience an unforgettably fun ride, delivering tons of torque that’s perfect for carving through urban grids. The nine-spoke wheels are black as night from rim to rubber, complementing the Dark Custom look perfectly. And with its fixed speed screen and conservative rise and bend for rider comfort, this bike is designed to be ridden hard.

This motorcycle has a rich history, having been reimagined countless times since its introduction in 1957 – from bobber to chopper, scrambler to caf racer, and everything in between. With its perfect combination of size, power, and character, the Sportster Iron 1200 is an irresistible ride that will put you firmly in control.
