Harley Davidson XL 1200C Sportster Custom (2009 – 2010)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200C Sportster Custom is a masterclass in understated elegance and raw power. Its chrome-slotted disc cast aluminum rear wheel and polished fuel tank console exude style, while its forward controls and pull-back handlebar riser put the rider in a comfortable cruising position.

With a lighter weight and refined engine highlights, this American V-Twin is a true showstopper. The Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) powertrain delivers flat torque curve performance, while the rubber-mounted frame reduces vibration for a smooth ride.

The Sportster Custom’s responsive handling and classic styling cues make it an unbeatable combination of style and substance. Whether you’re carving up twisties or cruising down the highway, this bike is sure to leave a lasting impression that will leave you saying “I’ve never felt so free on two wheels.
