The 2013 MY Harley Davidson Forty-Eight has a number of features that set it apart from the other models in the Sportster series. A beefy, telescopic front fork, a wide, 130mm tire mounted on a 16" lace-spoked steel wheel, a low profile custom handlebar with under-mounted mirrors and a chopped rear fender, the usual MoCo recipe. In fact, except for the classic peanut fuel tank, all the other design features on the Forty-Eight make it a modern, aggressive, fresh-looking cruiser, which is sure to appeal to the younger fans of House Milwaukee machines.
On the tech/engine side of things, it sports the proven, 1200cc, air-cooled Evolution powerplant mated to a dependable five-speed transmission. The engine boasts an impressive 107 Nm of torque at 3250 rpm.
