Harley 2008 Sportster. October 2007

As the original American hot rod motorcycle, the 1957 Sportster brought flat track aggression to the street with an irresistible combination of power and agility. Over more than a half century, the Sportster has evolved technologically while staying true to its roots, offering no-nonsense V-Twin performance and nimble handling in a motorcycle that's always a cool, fun ride.

All Sportster models are powered by the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection XL Evolution V-Twin powertrain, rubber-mounted in the frame to reduce vibration and tuned to deliver a broad power band. The transmission and engine share a common die-cast case. Final drive is via a clean, quiet and durable belt reinforced with carbon fiber. The Harley-Davidson Smart security system is an available option on all Sportster models.
