– 2002 Harley-Davidson XL 1200S Sportster 1200 Sport

If ever a bike embodied the name Sportster®, it’s the 1200S Sportster Sport. Black ceramic-coated pipes, hot cams, and dual-spark ignition send a strong performance message. As do the triple disc brakes and premium, fully adjustable suspension. The Sportster 1200 Sport features a unique, tough look with its eye-catching powertrain and black satin ceramic coated exhaust system. This aerospace coating technology provides the exhaust finish with high temperature and corrosion resistance. The fully adjustable cartridge-type front forks, fully adjustable gas reservoir shocks in the back, triple disc brakes, and sport compound performance tires all add to the exhilaration.
