2006 Motorcycles Used HARLEY-DAVIDSON XL1200C SPORTSTER

Sportster 1200 Custom. For decades, un could best be defined as a potent engine sitting dead center in a strong, gile frame with nothing but miles of winding asphalt ahead. As long as we keep building and refining the Sportster, hat definition will stay true. If you’ve never swung a leg over, ou should. Once astride, wist the throttle and feel the V-Twin generate mounds of torque. It’s a satisfying rush that hits you right in the pit of your stomach. We rubber-mounted the engine to the frame for a more comfortable ride — no road is unfamiliar territory, o journey too far. And though riding a Sportster has always been a blast, e keep finding more ways to make things even more rider friendly. We redesigned the transmission so it shifts smoother. Take a quick trip through the gears and you’ll no doubt appreciate the near-effortless clutch. There’s also improved kickstand ergonomics — now the bike is easier to reach and lift. The pure American street machine just keeps getting better. Something about the 1200 Custom pulls you in. At first glance, ou see it in the swept-back handlebar, ullback riser and bullet-style headlight. But you can’t quite put your finger on it. Then you check out the wheels. Chrome Slotted Disc with wide tire in back. Laced wheel up front. Center stage sits the 4.5-gallon tank. The machine takes over your thoughts. In the saddle, ou feel it in the forward foot controls and low seat. But thumb the starter to the rubber-mounted, lack powder-coated, hrome-covered Evolution® engine and there’s simply no mistaking what made the 1200 Custom legendary. One ride and you’ll know. The spirit of the Sportster definitely lives on.
