The most dynamic of all Harleys

Is she a women motorcycle? Yes! Is it a men’s bike? Yes! Is it the most dynamic of all Harleys? Yes! And since 2004 it has been a lot better. Harley-Davidson XL 1200 Sportster – one for all.

The Japanese would have given the thing a completely new name and created a huge magic at the presentation. Americans are cooler there. At least when it comes to the Sportster. It’s been called that since 1957, and why should you change anything just because a facelift is a few sizes larger and a practically completely new model comes out? Even. The change to the 2004 vintage was for the Harley-Davidson XL 1200 Sportster a quantum leap. A previously somewhat phlegmatic and now and then quite annoying vibrator turned into a pleasantly lively fun device that practically only passes on good vibrations to the crew.

The secret of success: The Evolution-Twin, which has been heavily redesigned in most of its more than 400 parts, is no longer rigid, but is vibration-decoupled in the frame via silent blocks and push rods. In a completely new and significantly more torsion-resistant frame. Less fidgety, 16 percent more power, better shock absorbers and decent brakes – never before has a Harley-Davidson Sportster felt so lively and moved so cheerfully. And that despite 30 kilos more weight compared to the previous model. Free, compared to the rest of the Harley program, the Sporty, which is now available in X versions, is still a lightweight and in terms of price-performance ratio by far the best offer in the program of the Americans.

sightseeing

With the change to the 2004 model, the already very reliable Evolution Sportster made another big step towards being “practically indestructible” – there are simply no typical quirks known. The Sporty usually only sees the workshop when the service appointments are due every 8,000 kilometers. But then there is a classic Sportster problem. And that means “owner who loves to renovate with limited manual skills”. Most new Sportster buyers are from (Japanese) third-party brands and are new to Harley. Which does not prevent some of them from loading their first Harley-Davidson XL 1200 Sportster with loads of cheap accessories. This can then take revenge, for example, with “individual” electrical wiring. The most important sightseeing tip by far is therefore: especially examine the quality (and, if necessary, entry) of conversions. This is especially true for the exhaust systems from the accessory trade.

Market situation

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200 Sportster is new and also used much more popular than its 883 sister, which is reflected in a very high price level. There are practically no really good second-hand copies available for less than 6500 euros. Within the series, the custom variant takes the top position in terms of inventory and demand. This is followed by the Nightster, the first real “men’s sportster”. The low version is almost exclusively requested by women. Both sexes can be enthusiastic about the Forty-Eight. The demand is extremely high, the second-hand supply (still) rather low – practically nothing goes below ten million. The Roadster is a real insider tip: The most active sportster by far and most sensibly equipped with front double disc brakes and a complete cockpit is a case for connoisseurs who are specifically looking for this model and no other and who place particular value on a somewhat more dynamic country road pace . The following applies to all models: The change from carburettor to injection (from model year 2007) is rewarded with an extra charge of around 500 euros.
