The 1996 Harley Davidson XL 1200S Sportster has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1202cc, 45° V-Twin powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission that produces a claimed 59 horsepower and 87 Nm of torque. It comes standard with a high-end, Showa suspension package, composed of a telescopic fork in the front and dual shocks in the rear, and a race-derived Brembo braking system, which make it one of the most agile machines in the House Milwaukee line-up.
