HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER ROADSTER
WWW.HARLEY-DAVIDSON.COM
Harley's Forty-Eight is the
bulldog of the Sportster
pack. Powered by the
1200cc Evolution engine,
its larger diameter 49mm
front forks, adjustable
rear suspension, and cast
aluminium wheels with
floating discs add plenty
of handling ability to its
beefier style.
The Roadster is a more
performance-oriented
production Sporty, thanks
to its 1200cc mill, 43mm
inverted front forks, dual
disc brakes, and adjustable
rear suspension and a
speedo with tach. H-D gave
it an aggressive riding
stance without sacrificing
comfort, too.
