Review
The 2017 Harley-Davidson Sportster Super Low 1200T continues the tradition of offering an accessible and comfortable touring experience. Its 1200cc V-twin engine delivers 68 horsepower at 6000 RPM and 70.8 ft-lbs of torque at 5750 RPM, providing ample power for cruising and comfortable highway speeds. A six-speed gearbox ensures smooth transitions. The bike boasts a low seat height of 705mm, making it easy for riders of various sizes to comfortably reach the ground. Ergonomics are a key focus, with a relaxed riding position and standard saddlebags for added practicality on longer rides. The 17.03-liter fuel tank offers a generous range, making it well-suited for longer journeys and minimizes the need for frequent stops. While the bike weighs in at 263 kg, its low center of gravity contributes to stable and confident handling, especially at lower speeds. The front suspension uses a telescopic fork, and the single front disc brake comes with optional ABS for added safety. The Super Low 1200T is tailored for riders who prioritize comfort and ease of handling, especially those new to touring or those who prefer a lower seat height. It provides a manageable and enjoyable riding experience, making it an excellent choice for weekend getaways and exploring the open road in a relaxed manner.
