The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is part of the American manufacturer’s Sportster range of motorcycles. In terms of design, it gets a distinctive-looking LED headlight, massive tyres, a short front fender, an 11.7-litre fuel tank, high-mounted twin exhausts, and a slim seat. The tail section, exhaust, and saddle draw inspiration from the Harley-Davidson XR750 flat tracker.
But its biggest highlight is the 1250cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine that it shares with the highly-acclaimed Pan America 1250 adventure-touring motorcycle. The motor has been tuned to suit the Sportster S’s character and churns out 119.3bbhp and 127.4Nm. The motor, which is a stressed member of the chassis, features a Chocolate Satin finish on the magnesium engine covers.
The hardware on the Sportster S consists of a Showa 43mm inverted front forks and a Showa mono-shock at the rear. The front setup is fully adjustable while the rear suspension features a hydraulic preload adjustment. The five-spoke alloy wheels are shod with Dunlop/Harley-Davidson Series GT503 tyres. The braking setup uses a 320mm disc with Brembo radial monoblock four-piston calliper at the front and a 260mm disc with a two-piston Brembo calliper at the back.
On the feature front, the Sportster S receives five riding modes, lean-sensitive traction control, and cornering ABS. Then there is full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-enabled instrument cluster. Harley is offering the motorcycle in a choice of three colours- Vivid Black, Midnight Crimson, and Stone Washed White Pearl.
