Harley Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight (2010)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200X Forty-Eight is a raw and unbridled riding experience that embodies the spirit of a classic custom motorcycle.

With its rugged, bulldog-like stance and low profile, this new Sportster model exudes an air of rebelliousness and freedom. The Evolution 1200cc V-Twin engine, with its blacked-out and polished rubber-mounted components, unleashes a torrent of power and performance that’s simply intoxicating.

Riding the Forty-Eight is like getting behind the wheel of a hot rod, with the wind rushing past you and the rumble of the V-Twin engine echoing through your veins. Its low solo seat, under-bar mounted mirrors, and fat balloon tires all contribute to its chiseled customization and aggressive stance.

At Harley-Davidson, they say that the Forty-Eight is “ready to ride as a radical custom and also primed to take on its rider’s character and personality.” We can attest to this – the Forty-Eight is an extension of you, your style, and your rebellious spirit.
