Harley Davidson XL 1200V Seventy Two (2014 – 2015)

Harley Davidson XL 1200V Seventy Two (2014 - 2015)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200V Seventy-Two is an unapologetic throwback to the rebellious spirit of ’70s choppers, reimagined for the modern rider.

Its authentic low-rider attitude is amplified by a Sportster-inspired 2.1-gallon fuel tank, narrow whitewall tires, and Chrome Steel Laced wheels, creating a radical custom look that’s equal parts nostalgic and bold.

But beneath its stripped-down aesthetic lies a potent air-cooled Evolution 1200 cc V-Twin engine, delivering a peak torque of 73 ft-lbs at 3500 rpm through Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI).

The Seventy-Two is more than just a tribute to the past – it’s a testament to Harley-Davidson’s commitment to crafting motorcycles that embody the spirit of freedom and adventure.

With its raw, unbridled power and timeless design, this bike is ready to take you on the ride of a lifetime.
