Harley Davidson Forty Eight Motorcycle Revealed

North American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson revealed details in its latest addition to the hot rod Sportster line, the Forty-Eight factory custom motorcycle, available for $10,499 MSRP in Vivid Black. The motorcycle will also be available in Brilliant Silver and Mirage Orange Pearl color schemes later this year.

The Forty-Eight model showcases its black 1200 Evolution V-Twin engine with polished accents, and is fitted with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) and performance tuning with a broad torque curve.

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.

"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."
