Forty-Eight 2018

Technical Data and Prices

Low-slung dark custom attitude with heavy-hitting style

The first time the world saw this iconic 2.1-gallon gas tank was in 1948. But the world has never seen it sitting atop anything quite like this.

For decades, the Sportster models have offered a successful synthesis of pithy power, easy handling and a sleek look. Beginners appreciate the character of the machines, as they make joining the big Harley-Davidson family easy, and experienced bikers enjoy the great driving fun they offer.

9-Speichen Leichtmetallgussräder

Ein Satz schwarzer Hardcore-Felgen mit gefrästen Akzenten sorgt für zusätzlichen Charakter. Die Felgen sind aus leichtem Aluminiumguss gefertigt, damit sich das Fahren auch mit dem schweren, schwarzen Gummi drumherum leicht und wendig gestaltet.

Klassischer 7,9 Liter Tank

Ein klassischer Peanut Tank verleiht der Maschine den niedrigen, massiven Bulldog Look und sorgt dafür, dass der fette Motor und der knochige Stil des schlanken Sportster Rahmens gut sichtbar sind.

Breites Vorderrad

Custom Gummi, das an die Bobber Kultur der 1950er Jahre erinnert. Eine bullige Frontpartie mit einem großen, breiten MT90-Reifen sorgt auf den ersten Blick für eine dominante Präsenz und gleitet bei gutem Handling sanft über die Straßen.

1200ccm air-cooled  Evolution engine

An iconic V-Twin engine that is renowned for its massive low-end torque and soul-satisfying sound. Lightweight aluminium heads and cylinders improve air-cooling efficiency.
