presentation of the 1200 Sportster Iron 2020
If you wanted to keep the spirit of the Iron, but with more watts in your shorts, you'd have to take a big step up to the Fat Bob or Low Rider. Harley is going to reconcile all punch lovers with this new 1200 Iron. The Sportster gains "black" stripes and a personality that will displease only one player... the 883.
why is that? Because the 1200 offers a whole lot more for a whole lot more money. Engine-wise alone, this Sportster is no longer in the same league. With almost 10 mkg of torque at just 3,500 rpm, the Evolution twin delivers 36% more torque. Where the 883 leaves big-spoon fans hungry, the brother will put more cream on the dessert. Power-wise, the scales tip without hesitation at 67 hp, 15 more than theoriginal Iron.
So it's just a question of the engine? No, look closely. Here, the little cap has been replaced by a small windscreen. The riding position will also be different, with the addition of mini-ape handlebars. As for the seat provided by the Café Solo saddle, it's a change of register, with a less paunchy front end and a rear end designed to handle recoil. But fans rest assured, this is an Iron, and it shows.

could there be a more worthy exponent of the vintage spirit than Harley? Locked into this niche and sulfated with authenticity, MoCo further affirms its attachment to the great era of easy-riders with very 70's graphics on the tank. With this Sportster 1200 Iron, you get out the goggles for the West Coast, show off and warm up the rubber.
