Description
The 2012 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® XR1200X™ motorcycle has retro Harley® racing style, fully adjustable Showa motorcycle suspension, and dual disc motorcycle brakes that have high performance and a sleek design. These motorcycle brakes feature 4-piston fixed calipers out front, grabbing on floating rotors for superior stopping power. Keeping your mind clear and soaking up the freedom of the open road means not fretting about your ride. The fully adjustable front and rear Showa suspension allows you to set compression, rebound, and spring pre load based on your weight. The Harley® Sportster® XR1200X™ engine is a reliable 1200 cc Evolution rubber mounted machine. The XR 750-inspired fuel tank cover with retro graphics echo the bike's flat track racing heritage giving the XR1200X™ a truly unique style for the road, while the fully adjustable Showa motorcycle suspension make the Harley® XR1200X™ motorcycle a serious ride.
Features may include:The agile XR1200X™ motorcycle is draped in a satin black finish for a menacing look. From the black powder-coated engine and straight-shot, high-performance exhaust to the upside-down forks, and the black cast aluminum wheels with orange rim highlight that jet the bike into a whole new era of race-inspired motorcycles—the XR1200X™ embraces the dark side while paying homage to the old school flat tracker that inspired its style and ease of handling.
The fuel tank on the XR1200X™ model is integrated with the air intake underneath the XR 750-inspired fuel tank cover. Throwback graphics echo the bike's flat tracker heritage and hundreds of championships won while giving the XR1200X™ a truly unique style for the road.
The Evolution® engine—known in certain crowds as the Blockhead—was first bolted to the frame of a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle back in 1984. Born from legendary Shovelhead and Ironhead engines, the Evolution® engine broke new ground in displacement innovation while maintaining the hunger for power, durability and proven reliability that The Motor Company was built on.
Air-cooled and durable as hell, the 1200cc Evolution® engine is yet another nod to the unwavering work ethic that drives advancements in motor technology at Harley-Davidson®. Aluminum heads and cylinders lighten the load of the bike and improve air-cooling efficiency. Electronic fuel injection says goodbye to carburetors and boasts increased reliability and less routine maintenance. Bottom line: the rubber-mounted Evolution® engine runs hard and rides smooth for thousands of miles so you can just worry about taking in the freedom of the twisty back roads.
Feast your eyes on the 1200cc Evolution® engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson® style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Blacked-out cylinder heads, cylinders and rocker covers complete the dark look, while the machined cooling fin tips provide a slight raw metal accent. And the "Sportster®" stamped into the engine case—like they used to do—is another reminder of the rich heritage of the bike. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the 1200c Evolution® engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
