Harley-Davidson XL 1200C Sportster 1200 Custom reviews

Although, the road glide custom is agile, partly due to the low center of gravity this is a 800 pound gorilla of a motorcycle!! Handles very well. Very smooth and reliable with all right upgrades you’ll be sure to have a pleasant experience every time. Very quick and nimble. Easy on the mind, body and soul. Show less

This motorcycle has been a joy to own. Originally purchased from a family friend who bought it new and after deployment overseas decided when she returned not to ride anymore. I made extensive upgrades to it for light touring around Arizona. I had some wonderful rides on weekends when I was working and for a while before and after Covid when I retired. I really want to ride more but I am turning 73 soon and I am concerned that my motor skills just aren't where they should be for safe riding. This bike still has many miles of wonderful riding experiences left in her. Anyone looking for a comfortable easy riding light touring bike for weekend trips will not be disappointed. Show less

NOTE: This is a review of a Sportster 883 Iron (Not an option in the dropdown) I've never owned a Harley before this one. I've always heard negative things about how Harley's are difficult to maintain and constantly break down... however, this is NOT my experience with this Sportster. TBH... this was an impulse buy from a neighbor; however, it turned into a fun adventure! I hadn't ridden a motorcycle for close to a decade and it was a great return to the excitement of "flying" without wings. Prior to this bike I had a couple of Yamaha cruisers, a Victory, and had driven every type of bike possible. I've held a motorcycle endorsement on my license since 1998. If you're interested in a Harley, Sportsters (883 or 1200) are a good initiation into the HOG. Well-balanced, plenty of power to move anyone (I'm 6'4" and 240 pounds) and fun to ride. Show less

This motorcycle could turn a quick ride to the corner store into a cross-country road trip in the blink of an eye. The most comfortable ride ever...It feels like your floating. It has a light, nimble frame for easy handling. Detachable windshield and lockable saddlebags for the open road. The seat is so comfortable you can ride all day. And a low center of gravity coupled with suspension that lets you ride through tight city traffic and twisting miles of highway with equal ease. The best mountain drives ever....Fire it up and see where it takes you. Show less

The Harley-Davidson Nightster is a distinctive member of the Sportster family, known for its rugged, minimalist design that pays homage to the brand's heritage while embodying a modern edge. It typically features a dark, aggressive styling that sets it apart from other Sportster models. Design: The Nightster's design is characterized by its stripped-down aesthetic and blacked-out components. It often includes a chopped rear fender, solo seat, and low-slung profile, giving it a classic bobber-inspired look. The overall silhouette is muscular and compact, emphasizing a no-nonsense approach to riding. Engine and Performance: Powered by Harley-Davidson's renowned air-cooled Evolution V-twin engine, the Nightster delivers a blend of torque and responsive power suitable for urban cruising and open road adventures alike. The engine's distinctive rumble adds to the bike's charisma, contributing to the visceral experience of riding a Harley-Davidson. Riding Experience: The Nightster is designed to offer a raw, elemental riding experience. Its low seat height and agile handling make it suitable for maneuvering through city streets with ease, while its torquey engine ensures a thrilling ride on highways and winding roads. Show less

Bike purrs like a kitten, but with a great Harley sound. I get compliments every time I ride it. Have done long rides and short rides. It's always fun. This is a great looking and great running machine! Show less

I've ridden this Sportster for about 6 years now and it handles and performs beautifully. Whether you you want to cruise along at a steady pace or blast down the freeway like a sport-bike this motorcycle is happy either way. Although this bike has a double seat and rear foot-pegs the passenger comfort is fairly minimal. The exhaust note has a deep healthy sound that I love. The saddlebag capacity is fairly small, but there's room for some essentials. I recently bought a used Harley Trike, if there was room in my garage I would be keeping this Sporty. Show less
