you maintain control during braking events, especially those that happen
in less than optimum conditions. Engineering and styling worked together
to make sure the system is not only designed and carefully tested to work
superbly, but that it is also engineered not to interfere with style. ABS is
available as an option on all 2014 Sportster

model overview
With its fat, balloon tires, solo seat, and all-steel peanut
tank, the best-selling Forty-Eight
®
motorcycle is ready
to rip through any scene. This low-slung urban brawler
drips attitude and cruises down the road with a 1200 cc
Evolution
®
engine giving it true Harley-Davidson soul.
Custom touches define this bulldog of a bike. A slammed,
drag-style handlebar with under-mount mirrors, slammed
speedometer, and 26-inch seat height offer a low profile
and an aggressive riding position. The blacked-out engine
and big 16-inch wheels combine for a menacing look.
The 2014 Forty-Eight
®
motorcycle sports some notable
upgrades that include a new brake system, new electrical
system, and new exhaust system.
Impulsive and headstrong, the Forty-Eight
®
motorcycle is a
dominating presence in bare-bones, radical custom styling.
