We have always loved the Harley Sportster, and it's not hard to see why. With its affordable price, the bevy of choices, and storied history, it really represents the ideal choice for the fledgling Tail Gunner, as well as for the legendary veteran unwilling to splash too much cash on a new hog.
For many, the main draw in this year's lineup will be the Iron 1200. It provides all the thrills with a design that veers off from the classic look of the Forty-Eight (and the more recent chromed-out Forty-Eight Special). The bikes tame "murdered out" look really catches your eye and is begging you to ride. Personally, the mini-ape bars present the most comfortable riding option and the fastback single seat is one we have really grown accustomed to over the years. Customization options, in all honesty, are rather limited with only three paint options for the tank to choose from, but let us keep things straight here; that is not why you buy this model, is it now? The reason you purchase a Sportster is that you get a bike with the premium look and feel, without the exorbitant price tag.
Plethora of choices
Keen-eyed customers also have already realized that the 1200 model represents great value for money as well as all other models form the 2019 Harley-Davidson Sportster series; the Superlow, the Iron 883, the Forty-Eight, the Roadster, and Forty Eight Special. On top of that, most of us can agree that these are a lot cheaper than any aftermarket conversion available out there. Additionally, they have that extra oomph coming from a reliable V-twin engine that is not as nagging as the boy-racers zooming around these days. The models from the Sportster family are a real joy to ride. We are far removed from the days when Harley's were considered sluggish, and all the revisions of the chassis, suspension, and breaks really help the Sportster series models shine at their full capacity.
The Verdict
To summarize, despite all the rumors of the Sportster going away in the coming years, this year’s line-up is one you should really check out. You can book a test drive for this weekend at a local Harley-Davidson here in Anthem. If you are from Anthem, Phoenix, or Cave Creek, be sure to drop by your local Buddy Stubbs and book your own test drive of the 2019 Harley Sportster in addition to other models.
