2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
For the beginning motorcyclist, or one who has since returned to the freedom of two wheels, Harley-Davidson offers the 2012 XL883L Sportster Super Low.
But don’t think the 883cc engine lacks power; the fuel-injected Harley V-Twin provides 55 ft. lbs. of torque at 3500 rpm, allowing riders to easily zip through traffic or enjoy some country-road riding.
And with a 25.5-inch seat height, the 2012 Harley-Davidson XL883 L SuperLow provides even the shortest of riders the capability to plant two feet when stopped. And Harley designed the Super Low with balance for handling and generous rear-suspension travel and easy-to-reach handlebars, making the much favorable for even the most timid of riders.
New for 2012 on the single-seated 883 Sportster Super Low are color options and black side covers. Following are the highlights, specs, color options and MSRP for the 2012 Harley-Davidson XL883L SuperLow.
