The 2011 Harley XR1200X Motorcycle Grab the wide flat-track handlebar. Twist the throttle, hug the hairpins, and experience the power delivery and cornering agility. The XR1200™ motorcycle redefines Harley-Davidson performance with an authentic street machine for riders who dare to be different. The XR1200X takes Harley-Davidson Sportster performance to a new level with fully adjustable premium suspension and full floating front brake rotors. Introduced in 2010 for export markets, the XR1200X will be available as a 2011 model at Harley-Davidson dealers in the United States. The XR1200X Motorcycle combines this premium suspension with enhanced front brakes and the responsive punch of a high-compression, 1200cc Evolution® V-Twin engine in a dynamic, street-performance motorcycle. The power plant is the same reliable Evo 1200cc V-Twin found on other Sportster models, featuring downdraft Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), 10:1 compression ratio and high-performance camshafts to help produce 74 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. With the premium suspension the XR1200X let the rider tune the suspension to their weight, riding style and road conditions. The Showa Big Piston Front fork eliminates many of the internal components in a cartridge-type fork resulting in lighter weight. The large diameter of the internal piston allows a reduction in damping pressure for outstanding feedback and smooth action. Rebound and and compression damping are tuned with adjustment screws on top of the fork bolts. Spring pre-load is adjusted with a M5 hex screw on the axle holders. Also showa rear shocks feature nitrogen charged piggyback reservoirs. The compression damping is adjusted with a know on top of the reservoir. Rebound damping is adjusted with a wheel on the lower clevis. Rear Spring load is also adjustable. Dual 292mm full-floating rotors with Nissin four-piston calipers add the finishing touches to the premium suspension. Key XR1200X Features: 
Riding the XR1200X from Harley Showa Big Piston Front fork (BPF) eliminates many of the internal components used in a cartridge-type fork, resulting in lighter overall fork weight.

Rebound and compression damping may be fine tuned with adjuster screws located on top of the fork bolts. The spring pre-load is adjusted with a M5 hex screw on the axle holders. Showa rear shocks feature 36mm pistons with piggy-back nitrogen charged reservoirs. The compression damping may be adjusted with a knob on top of the reservoir. Rebound is adjusted with a thumb wheel on the lower clevis. Rear spring pre-load is also adjustable. Nissin dual front brakes feature 292mm full-floating rotors and four-piston calipers.

The Forty Eight The new 2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Motorcycle is a factory custom in the legendary tradition of the hot rod Sportster line with the raw bad side ride appeal, of the Dark Custom bikes. Riding low with a slammed suspension and featuring the classic 2.1-gallon “peanut” fuel tank, the 2010 H-D Forty-Eight backs up its bulldog appearance with the performance of its blacked out and polished rubber-mounted Evolution 1200 cc V-Twin engine. The low solo seat, under-mounted mirrors, side mount license plate, clean rear fender and tall and fat front tire emphasize the Forty Eight’s focus on chiseled customization. “With its classic bulldog shoulders stance, the Forty-Eight strikes a distinctive look and low profile that could only come from Harley-Davidson,” said Ray Drea, Harley-Davidson Senior Director of Styling. “The Forty-Eight model has a collective past life experience and broken-in look that is raw and authentic.” As a Harley-Davidson Dark Custom motorcycle, the 2010 H-D Forty-Eight is ready to ride as a radical custom and also primed to take on its rider’s character and personality. Dark Custom accomplices of the Forty-Eight include the Nightster, Iron 883, Cross Bones, Fat Bob and Street Bob. Harley-Davidson Sportster models like the Forty-Eight Motorcycle have retained an aura of rebellion since their introduction in 1957, when the foundation of custom culture was being formed by hot rod gear heads hanging out on city street corners, in gritty garages or at dusty dragstrips. Sportster motorcycles became an iron canvas for many legendary choppers of that hot rod era and beyond. 
2010 Forty Eight Lying low from tire-to-tire, the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight motorcycle model showcases more of its black 1200 Evolution V-Twin engine with polished accents and other components with a clean look highlighted by the traditional peanut fuel tank, small solo seat and lightening holes in the backbone mounting bracket. The Forty-Eight has more than just custom cool styling with the smooth ride on new front fork sliders, a tall and fat front tire and slammed rear suspension. With Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) and performance tuning with a broad torque curve, the Forty-Eight Motorcycle delivers a powerfully responsive ride with smooth clutch effort. The pipes on the chrome, shorty dual exhaust pound out the distinctive Harley-Davidson American V-Twin sound. The 2010 H-D Forty-Eight Motorcycle embraces the street up front with forward foot controls, low profile custom handlebar, under-mounted mirrors, fork-mounted turn signals, slammed speedometer mounting bracket and fork brace with lightening holes. A unique dual texture solo seat with a height of 26 inches fits the lone rider, while a passenger pillion, footpegs and backrest are some of the many accessories that can be added. The black chopped rear fender with combination stop/turn/tail lights and a side mounted license plate help show-off the 150 mm rear tire and 16-inch Black Steel Laced wheels. The front tire also rides on a wide black wheel. The 2010 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight model comes in Vivid Black, Brilliant Silver and Mirage Orange Pearl colors and will be available soon at Harley-Davidson dealers.
