2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster Lineup Overview

American Sportsmen

The 2020 Harley-Davidson Sportster stable remains exactly that: stable. If you have a product that’s sold successfully for over six decades, how much do you really need to change it? Just enough to keep customers buying it, that’s how much.

Every so often Harley-Davidson gives the XL models a major performance makeover (as they did in the 1980s and in 2003) but for the most part the loco MoCo keeps the Sportster design within a very specific framework.

The Forty-Eight features fat tires on a skinny bike with an iconic peanut tank that made its debut in 1948. Designed with signature bulldog stance and 1200cc of torque. In addition to the look, it features a large 49mm front forks, an adjustable rear suspension, cast aluminum wheels with floating rotors and powerful brakes for plenty of handling and comfort.
