2016 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom | Motorcycle Buyer’s Guide

Taking elements of the classic long-and-low cruiser styling and incorporating them into the Sportster ethos, the 1200 Custom has more attitude than you’d expect from a smaller Harley.

Relatively fat tires front (130mm) and back (150mm) on 16-inch wheels, a minimalist front fender, forward controls, lots of chrome and dual staggered mufflers give the 1200 Custom at tough appearance. For 2016, the 1200 Custom gets new shocks, cartridge forks, and an improved seat.
