Right out of the box: Harley-Davidson XLHC Sportster

The introduction of the Harley-Davidson Sportster to the US market in 1957 was the master plan to counteract the increasingly successful British motorcycles sold in the US.

I've lost the list for a while, but one of the properties of a True Classic was that it was no longer made.

Harley-Davidson Sportster. Originality is a thing ...

In the meantime, it has been proven with our photo model that the Sportsters can be structurally restored to combat strength.

Bad ended?

Or very good? We found this outlaw Harley Davidson from someone who bought it in blind passion, but who no longer dared to ride it after a near-death experience. The 883 has grown to the full 1200 cc, including all the Screaming Eagle goodies. That happens more often.
