Harley-Davidson XL 1200 SPORTSTER LOW 2006

Tell us what you think of this XL 1200 SPORTSTER LOW 2006

presentation of the XL 1200 SPORTSTER LOW 2006

the Sportster LOW is the perfect addition to Harley's 1200 range. This name goes hand in hand with a lowered seat that drops to 667 mm, 46 mm less than on the 1200 Roadster. The Low seems to have been designed for generous stages, as evidenced by its 17-liter fuel tank, Badlander seat, close Pullback handlebars and centrally positioned footrests. The riding position becomes less 'rican, more "old continent", still for the pleasure of feeling the big Milwaukee twin. Mounted on silent-blocks, the mill gets a black and chrome surface treatment, a smoother clutch and a new transmission. These last two points benefit the entire 2006 Sportster range. Available in 8 colors, the 1200 Sportster Low will make its debut just before spring 2006.

Voyou Model 2008

Bought new in 2007, very happy, I'm 70 years old and it suits me perfectly for short trips. I've been down south and it's less comfortable than my Honda 750 vfc, otherwise no particular worries 11/05/2023 11:02 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Voyou

bond007 Model 2006

in the end, I kept the 2006 sportster so as not to switch to the dyna on the fat, because what a pleasure with the carburettor, the sreaming eagle sound which is nowhere to be found in the range . easy to handle, playful, bewitching long trips and not at all tiring despite my 60+ years of age! Why look elsewhere, even though I've tried them all since 2010! 01/16/2011 18:17 Rating : 5/5 Respond to bond007

choucas-1 Model 2006

i fell for it too", the white and black version, one of her most beautiful dresses in my opinion
since then, 8,000 km on the handlebars in 6 months, and I'm still in the mood
a hell of a kick, great acceleration and monumental torque
and its look, ha its look, i've lost count of the compliments, the looks, the kids i invite to ride it
a noise that would shake the walls of Jerichho (vance & hines), you can hear me coming from 1 km away (true)
i plan to keep it for 3 or 4 years, then move on to the street bob, or the dyna super glide
Best regards. 11/14/2008 21:51 Rating : 5/5 Respond to choucas-1

jimi Model 2006

The favorite in the sportster range, the happy medium for those who couldn't quite find what they were looking for between roadster and custom.When I saw a photo of it, I said: if I buy a 1200, it'll be this one.When I saw it, I bought it.Beautiful, easy to handle, I'm waiting for the break-in to be finished.Oh sure, the sound of the original pots? Well, I'll do what everyone else does... 06/29/2006 22:14 Rating : 5/5 Respond to jimi

thierry Model 2006

I'm going to get it next week. I opted for the white and black color, which gives the bike a retro feel. If only we could ride without helmets for the noise it makes ... 06/18/2006 11:43 Rating : 5/5 Respond to thierry

it's a pity the beauty lost a front disc, but you can always fit a big tank on a 1200 R .... 03/26/2006 16:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to flatonze

guilguy Model 2006

i've come to browse the whole range and I've fallen for this model for its price and its 2006 performance will be Harley Davidson. Hi to all bikers. 01/03/2006 03:26 Rating : 5/5 Respond to guilguy

guigui Model 2006

Not at all reasonable, but it's so appealing. It's simple, it's beautiful, it vibrates (a little less so since the "silent bloc"). 12/07/2005 21:06 Rating : 5/5 Respond to guigui
