2010 Harley Davidson Sportster Forty Eight – Motorbike Bicycle
Based on the Sportster 1200 platform, the Forty-Eight is the latest addition to Harley’s“custom” offering. The bike is certainly an attractive piece from Harley-Davidson, but also fails to really distinguish itself from the rest of the Harley line-up. Pricing starts at $10,499, and the Harley Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight comes in Vivid Black with Brilliant Silver, and Mirage Orange Pearl is also available.
2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight (48) motorcycle features and highlights:
* Blacked out rubber-mounted Evolution 1200 cc V-Twin engine with polished covers
* Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI)
* Steel 2.1-gallon peanut fuel tank with lightening hole mounting bracket
* One-piece, solo Sportster classic seat
* 26-inch seat height
* Tall and fat 130 mm Dunlop MT90 front tire
* 16-inch Black Steel Laced wheels
* Low profile custom handlebar
* Under-mounted mirrors
* New front forks with wide triple clamps
* Chopped front fender mounted on fork brace with lightening holes
* Blacked components including air cleaner cover, clutch and brake levers and turn signals
* Chopped rear fender
* Stop-turn-tail lights
* Side-mounted license plate
* Two-year factory warranty
* Optional Harley-Davidson Smart Security System
Typically, Sportster models are the lowest-priced bikes from H-D and have one of the lowest seat heights in the line. Most importantly though, Sporties offer the core Harley experience: an air-cooled, pushrod V-Twin-powered cruiser. Of the seven models that currently comprise the Sporty line, five are powered by the fuel-injected, rubber-mounted, air-cooled, 1203cc Evolution V-Twin, which Harley says is good for 79 ft-lbs at 4000 rpm. Like all Sportsters, the 883 models are fuel-injected. Both models are also part of a subset of Harleys called Dark Customs. Like the Nightster, this latest Dark Custom family member features a blacked-out Evolution V-Twin engine and other blacked-out components including air cleaner cover, hand controls and turn signals. Hinting at the Forty-Eight’s bobber-inspired styling is a 2.1-gallon peanut tank, chopped front fender, solo saddle, and a chubby 16-inch front tire riding a black laced wheel; its 16-inch mate rolls out back. Another clue to its bobber theme are mirrors mounted below the handlebar. Sportster. The 2.1-gallon peanut tank complements the bike’s style and evokes images of Harleys from as far back as ’48, when Harley first employed the tank style. Despite a plump Dunlop D402 (130/90 x 16) front tire, steering effort was much lighter than expected.
