Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 1200C Custom 2017

Even as a used machine, the XL 1200C Sportster with its air-cooled Evolution V2 still offers the typical Harley Sportster feeling, but also comfort and practicality thanks to forward-mounted detents and electronic fuel injection. The brakes do require an anticipatory riding style, but otherwise the Sportster Custom is a quite agile, nippy chopper. The riding experience is underpinned by a beautiful, easily perceptible but not obtrusive roaring sound from the rear silencer.

Great, powerful engine

Beautiful sound

Relaxed ergonomics

Agile turn-in behaviour despite large front wheel

Beautiful workmanship

Weak front brake

saddle sits through quite quickly
