Review
The 2012 Harley-Davidson XL 883 L Sportster Super Low lives up to its name, offering an exceptionally low seat height of 648mm, making it one of the most accessible Harley-Davidsons for riders of all sizes. It's powered by an 883cc Evolution engine that generates 74.6 Nm of torque at 3500 RPM, providing adequate power for city riding and comfortable cruising. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth and reliable gear changes. The motorcycle's weight of 243.1 kg contributes to its manageable handling. The Super Low prioritizes rider comfort and ease of use. Its low seat height and comfortable riding position make it confidence-inspiring for new riders and those who prefer a more relaxed riding experience. The 17.03-liter fuel tank offers a decent range for longer rides. The single disc front brake with dual-piston calipers provides adequate stopping power. This motorcycle is designed for riders who prioritize comfort, ease of handling, and a low seat height. It's an excellent choice for new riders, shorter riders, and those who prefer a more relaxed and confidence-inspiring riding experience. The Super Low offers a smooth and accessible entry point into the Harley-Davidson world.
