2007 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom Motorcycle reviews

Update on my Sporty. Added Samson Hellraiser Exhaust with Screaming Eagle Cone Siper filter and fuel pak and the difference is soooo much better. My bike finally looks, sounds and performs like a true Harley. Look up my review under exhaust. Now my bike is truly bad ass. Alsmost as if an additional gear was added. The sound is ever so sweet and the look makes my sporty look more chopperish. I love it! Show less

The more miles I put on this bike the better it gets. I broke the bike in per recommondations and after that I have found the performance just keeps getting better. It will purr down the freeway at 80 all day long getting 52 miles per gallon. Handles well on curvy roads, with the rubber mounted engine and the fuel injection the 07 is a great bike. Only draw back is the stock seat, after about 2000 miles I had to get a better one and like all Sportsters, you will get some engine heat while at idle but none once you're rolling. Ride Safe!

When I got back into riding a couple of years back, I worked my way up the Suzuki food chain. From a little GZ250 to a Volusia and finally a Boulevard C90. But I never felt quite at home. By the time I'd realized it, I was on a bike that was too big, too heavy and too intimidating for me. A friend had purchased a Harley and raved about it. So, I took a look at the Sportsters. The XL883C was very nice, but the styling cues of the XL1200C pulled me in. The chrome on the engine. The badges instead of decals. Then I saw the White Gold paint. I put down a deposit before I even rode one. The handling is so much more nimble. I don't feel like I'm fighting the bike to get it around the corner. While I'm still getting used to a few things, I finally feel like I've found the right bike for me. Can't wait to get my Mustang seat on it for some long rides. The only real downside that I can see is the lack of a fuel gauge. It has a one-gallon warning light, but I'd prefer something to keep closer track of the fuel. Show less
