Overview

Introducing the 2007 Harley-Davidson XL1200C Sportster Custom, a striking example of the legendary American motorcycle manufacturer’s commitment to style and performance. Positioned within the custom-cruiser category, the XL1200C blends the classic Harley-Davidson aesthetics with modern engineering, making it an appealing choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers looking for a stylish entry into the world of cruising. At a price point of $9,695, it stands as a testament to Harley's ability to deliver a motorcycle that not only looks good but also offers a compelling ride. At the heart of the XL1200C is its robust Evolution V2 engine, boasting a displacement of 1199.61 ccm (73.20 cubic inches) that delivers an impressive torque of 107.25 Nm at 4,000 RPM. This powerplant is designed for those who crave a thrilling ride, providing the acceleration needed for spirited cruising, while maintaining a smooth and comfortable experience. The air-cooled engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, ensuring seamless gear transitions and a responsive ride. With a fuel consumption of just 4.11 liters per 100 km (approximately 57.23 mpg), this motorcycle offers an efficient option for long rides, allowing you to enjoy the open road with fewer stops at the pump. The XL1200C is not just about raw power; it also comes equipped with an array of features that enhance both comfort and style. The bike's low seat height of 711 mm (28.0 inches) ensures that riders of various heights can enjoy a comfortable riding position, while the available vibrant color options—including Vivid Black, Black Cherry Pearl, and Fire Red Pearl—allow for personal expression. The single-disc brakes at both the front and rear, complemented by a dual-piston setup in the front, provide reliable stopping power, while the bike's elegant lines and chrome accents ensure it turns heads wherever you go. Additionally, the bike's rake of 30.1° lends it a relaxed geometry that enhances stability during long rides. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: Classic Harley-Davidson aesthetics with modern touches make it visually appealing.
  • Strong Performance: The Evolution engine delivers impressive torque and efficiency for an exhilarating ride.
  • Comfortable Ride: Low seat height and well-designed ergonomics cater to a wide range of riders.

Cons
