Harley-Davidson<\/strong> <\/a>lifted the curtain on its new 1250cc, liquid-cooled V-twin Sportser S. All we have known about the much-anticipated model is this: it will pack a massive amount of hit in a small package.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our fellow enthusiasts have indicated that the Sportster would be fast enough to embarrass bobcats through judicious use of words.<\/span><\/p>\n

And although we haven’t seen a bobcat do anything, we are inclined to agree with their estimation of its potency.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now, the Milwaukee manufacturer has finally decided to inject some fresh blood into its entry-level Sportster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sportster 1250 will become Harley’s eighth family member<\/strong> <\/a>and the most affordable model in the lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The liquid-cooled, DOHC, eight-valve, 1,252cc V-twin calibrates to 121 horsepower and 94 lb-ft of torque.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, the range has widened over time and morphed into a diverse family of brilliant motorcycles.But the original ethos \u2013 of affordable accessibility \u2013 remains at its core.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it’s that philosophy that<\/strong><\/a> serves as inspiration for the new Harley-Davidson 1250 engine.Which will form the detailed core of the Milwaukee marque’s next generation of Sportster models.<\/span><\/p>\n

But with the introduction of the Milwaukee-Eight engine (and chassis) just over 18 months ago.There was a risk that the Sportster would lose its place as the entry-level Harley to a host of fresh new Softail models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, firm orders for the Roadster and Iron 883 were enough for the company to decide to make 883cc and 1200cc versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new 2021 Harley-Davidson Sportster S features.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Harley has reduced the weight to 502 pounds. The Sportser S arrives with the steel trellis swingarm integrated. With Showa at the rear and fully adjustable 43mm USD Showa fork art front.<\/span><\/p>\n

It further gets the Dunlop GT503 tires and lightweight aluminium cast wheels, making it more nimble and easy to handle.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rare breed also has all LED lighting, a four-inch TFT console, ABS and traction control. You have an option to select modes from three ride modes the Road, Rain and Sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tank is an 11.37 litres tank which is 3.1-gallon.<\/span><\/p>\n

On occasion, Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz said,\u00a0<\/span>“The Sportster S is the next all-new motorcycle built on the Revolution Max platform. And sets a new performance standard for the Sportster line”.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
