HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER SUPERLOW 1200T
If
ever a motorcycle could turn a trip to the corner store into a cross-country
trek, the SuperLow 1200T model is the one. You’ve got a light, nimble frame for
easy handling. Detachable windshield and lockable saddlebags for the open road.
A new seat for all-day comfort. And a low center of gravity coupled with an
all-new suspension that lets you eat tight city traffic and twisting miles of
highway with equal ease. Fire it up. See where it takes you.
When
the first Sportster motorcycle roared onto the scene in 1957 the world had
never seen anything like it. Rawboned, powerful and looking for action. The
styling cues that lit up the street in those early years would soon become a
part of everything from race bikes to outlaw choppers as they spread throughout
the motorcycling world. Take a look at the offering for 2016 and one thing
becomes instantly clear. The best way to get the style that made the Sportster
motorcycle famous is to get a Sportster motorcycle of your own. The narrow
frame is more agile than ever. The rumbling V-Twin and muscular front end feel
more powerful than ever. The flawless steel and jewel-like fuel tank reveal
their authentic American motorcycle roots in every inch of detail.
The
Evolution engine riding in the nimble Sportster frame is a prime example of the
power, durability and proven reliability The Motor Company was built on. Born
from the legendary Shovelhead and Ironhead engines, it’s been the power at the
center of a Sportster motorcycle since 1984. Its overhead valve design and
four-cam gear train have their roots in the company’s race program, and you
know it when you feel the surge of brute torque that accompanies every twist of
the throttle. The air-cooled V-Twin design with a compact one-piece
crankcase/transmission fits the narrow Sportster profile like a fist in a
fingerless glove. We began with a strong, trouble-free design. Then gave it
constant refinement to bring us to the modern powerplant of today. A testament
to the unwavering hunger for advancement in motor technology that has always
driven Harley-Davidson.
What
the eye sees and the rider feels on a Sportster motorcycle goes deep beneath
the surface. Which is where you’ll find some our latest technology hard at
work. The immaculate styling is due in part to an integrated electrical system
that reduces wiring harnesses, switches, relays and fuses. The new seats
throughout the Sportster line are built out of 21 century materials to feel
plush and look minimalist at the same time. The new suspension systems are a
marvel, with cartridge damping up front and an adjustable cartridge emulsion
system in back. The one thing you won’t find on a Sportster motorcycle is any
gizmos. Technology is there for one reason and one reason only. To make the
motorcycle even more honest, enduring and satisfying for the rider.
The
street is the home turf of the Sportster motorcycle, and a narrow, agile frame
wrapped around a strong V-Twin engine has always been its calling card. To see
how far we’ve taken this basic equation, get in the saddle of any 2016
Sportster model.
