Harley-Davidson XL1200R Sportster

This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history – one of the most recognized and reliable of the Harley range – the Sportster. Not only is this a piece of history, it’s a modern model meaning the mileage is low and the machinery is in top condition, cutting down on maintenance costs.

The 1202cc engine has that typical Harley kidney-thumping throb to it, and the sleek design and rubber-mounted Evolution engine makes it the perfect ride for touring or in-town use. Possessing the familiar teardrop shape, this bike has modern advantages on a vintage body – all the style of the Harley range and the robust reputation of their design go together to make the Sportster one of the most popular of their bikes.

High-compression, high-flow heads and performance cams mean this machine runs harder and faster than ever and the handling is much improved due to the new stronger back axle.

This bike has been thoroughly checked over by our staff and has only 2300 miles on it. If you want to give it a closer look (and who wouldn’t!) feel free to drop into our showroom or get in contact.

Be sure to check out the May 2005 issue where Eric Bass fills three pages (p 52-54) on the awesome Rocket III. The article begins with a humorous contemplation on the inspiration for the Rocket III and turns serious with the discussion of the Rocket III’s performance statistics. The folks at Cruising Rider love the fact that not only does the Rocket III offer quick acceleration, but the power the engine produces is very practical and makes for an exciting cruiser!

We have all watched extreme bikers on tracks hanging from the sides of their bikes, but its not the kind of positioning suited to urban riding and a low-risk biking career.

When cornering, your body position should be centred as you lean your bike, with your head either on or just inside the centre line. You can make things easy on your brain by tilting your head to match the horizon line.

A common mistake is pulling on your bike and letting it drag you around corners, whereas a better technique is definitely to stay tense, using your stomach muscles and arms to steer the bike instead of merely holding on to it. That’s what the steering bar is for - not as a support bar.

Experiment with foot position, it’s best to keep your toes on the footpegs, especially your inner foot.

There are occassional times when leaning off centre on your bike can be helpful, say when the road surface is slippery and you don’t want to lean your bike (thereby losing some traction and tyre contact). Quick steering movements and emergency avoidance will benefit from this too.

As with everything, it’s well worth building on tips such as these and working out what is going to be best for you, in terms both of safety and comfort.
