Harley-Davidson XLH Sportster 1200 1998

Menus

In 98, the Sportster 1200 benefited from engine upgrades which restored its health. New cylinder heads and camshafts, bigger carbs, and here is the American twin more torquey and generous in the mid-revs. This evolution gives it more energy, and more enthusiasm to travel in the city, a place where we frequently descend low in the towers..

Braking has also been revised, offering everything you would expect from this type of custom-sport. Critics can continue to claim that a Harley-Davidson has no brakes; they would just have to try the Sportster to run out of arguments. Showing off on board and soaking up the Harley spirit requires certain sacrifices. First of all, don’t plan to take a big trip to show it to your friends who live 500 meters away. Autonomy is derisory, and there is no question of continuing the TGV. The twin (mounted rigid in the frame until 2004) offers you unrestrained vibrations. Suddenly, we are not encouraged to exceed the limits on highways. Either way, it’s not designed to hang around. Not too tempted by arson either, because the machine welcomes you in a relaxed and comfortable position. So, take advantage of the essentials: its lively big twin and its timeless look..
