Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson XL Sportster 1200 Custom CB 2015 Black & Classic
presentation of the XL Sportster 1200 Custom CB 2015
the Sportster 1200 Custom built up a real little family in 2013... and brings with it its limited editions in 2014 and 2015. There's a standard version, the CA, and a darker version, the CB. Based on the classic XL 1200 Custom, the CB gains height with its mini Ape-Hanger handlebars, and depth with its Black Denim color scheme. This matte black extends over a large part of the machine, from the spoked rims to the engine casings, not forgetting the bodywork. But chrome fans rest assured: the bike isn't all black, and some parts shine with contrast. For 2015, a "Charcola Pearl" brightens up the XL 1200 CB's exterior.
Few changes in appearance, but when you switch from a Sportster CA to a CB, you change your style as much as your ride. Just goes to show that the Sportster is still capable of many surprises.
