Harley Davidson Sportsters

Have you ever asked aloud or even just wondered in your mind what a Sportster is? Have you ever wondered why they are such a popular model of motorcycle?

Let's start with some of the things that a Sportster is:

  A Sportster is the lightest motorcycle that Harley Davidson produces weighing in anywhere between 550 and 570 pounds. This weight is approximately 1.4 to 1.5 times heavier than some of the metric sport bikes out there depending on which sport bike you are comparing your Sportster to and the model of Sportster you are looking at for comparison.

  Depending on which Sportster you are looking at you will find that the Sportster may have a fuel tank of 2.1 gallons or 3.3 gallons. Your Sportster will offer you mileage right around the 50 mpg range.

  Sportsters are air cooled to help keep the bike trimmer and more comfortable to ride without trying to straddle a liquid cooled engine.

  A Sportster is relatively low tech so that most anyone can work on their bike for some of the more simple fixes needed.

  With that low tech theme in mind, all of your Sportster gauges are simple instruments.

  While many Harley Davidsons are built for the highway, your Sportster is better suited to city life or maybe some country roads. A Harley Davidson touring motorcycle will be better for the highway with its added weight to help hold the road.

If you are ready to own a Harley Davidson, a Sportster is often referred to as the Harley Davidson starter motorcycle.

A Sportster is also the most stretched out bike offered by Harley Davidson making it great to convert to a chopper style bike that became so popular a few decades back. This is not the best bike for a woman or rather for someone of short stature, however, it can be customized to accommodate that rider.

The Sportster is easily customized. It's easy to add bags, bars, a different seat, windshield, backrest, luggage rack and more to truly personalize it to your tastes and needs. With that said, about the only time you will find two identical Sportsters is when they are brand new and have never left the dealer showroom. But, even then the dealer may add some custom touches to the bike. It is so easy to add little touches like foot pegs or a push up seat or anything else you can imagine adding to a motorcycle, that even brand new it may be hard to find one that is totally stock.

Finally, as you would expect from a sport bike, the Sportster will not leave you sitting behind when you want to get away from the traffic light a little quicker. The acceleration of the Sportster is quick and nimble since it has the power built into it and it weighs a little less than other Harley Davidsons do.
