Review
The 2009 Harley-Davidson XL 1200 L Sportster 1200 Low is designed for riders who appreciate a classic Harley look with an emphasis on accessibility. Its most notable feature is the low seat height of just 26.3 inches, making it easy for shorter riders to flat-foot at stops. The riding position is upright and comfortable for cruising, though the suspension, a 39mm fork up front, is tuned more for style than performance. The bike weighs in at 553.4 pounds, offering a planted feel on the road. Power comes from a 1202cc V-twin engine, producing 72.3 ft-lbs of torque at 3200 RPM. This provides ample low-end grunt for city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The 5-speed gearbox is typical Harley, with a solid feel and a noticeable clunk. Braking is handled by a single front disc with 2-piston calipers, providing adequate stopping power for the bike's weight and intended use. With its 4.49-gallon fuel tank, the Sportster 1200 Low offers a decent range for weekend rides. The overall package is geared towards riders who prioritize a manageable and stylish motorcycle for cruising and shorter trips, rather than high performance or long-distance touring.
