RUBBER-MOUNTING OFFERS UP MORE WAYS THAN EVER TO ENJOY A HARD-EDGED STREET MACHINE
For decades, fun could best be defined as a potent engine sitting dead centre in a strong, agile frame with nothing but winding asphalt ahead. As long as we keep building and refining the Sportster, that definition will stay true. If you’ve never swung a leg over, you should. Once astride, twist the throttle and feel. The thrills of a new street machine just keep getting better.
