Thinking about purchasing a Sportster, but not sure as to iron 1200 or the '48. Which is more comfrontable for someone of 5' 9", 170lbs stature? Driving locally for the most part, but don't want to be restricted. Want to be able to jump on the highway and take a 300 mile road trip.some weekends. Would you choose 1200 iron or '48, or upgrade to a solftail? Why? Also, I'll be ridding solo for the most part, and have only minor issues with gas restrictions. Thank you.

I have an 2006 48 H-D Sportster, i bought it because an old Ironhead Sportster was how I got started. When I bought it used from a dealer I only rode it around the block. I thought it looked so cool all low and sleek. I soon learned, why I didn't realize it, that while low looks cool low and with the 18' instead of a 21' front wheel, it also affects handling, curves and cornering specifically. The bike's lean angle wasn't even as good as my Roadking. It's easy to throw foot peg sparks. i ride a lot but I don't consider myself a very aggressive rider. I put some apehanger, on it, I'm going to keep it, its a fun town bike, but that 2 gl tank only lets me ride 70 miles down the highway before the reserve lite comes on. The Evo sportster motor is a reliable motor. Thats my 2 cents.

It’s okay for you in the USA to have a bunch of bikes, but here in the land of Oz (Australia) Harleys cost more than twice what they do over there, so owning two takes a lot of cash and that’s just the purchase price. Registration here in Victoria runs at about $800 per year per bike and insuring it will set you back another $800-$1000 easy. So count your blessings that you live in the USA where bikes and gas are so much cheaper than here. (Gas costs about $5.45 per US gallon where I live) I have a ‘97 Sporty that I have ridden to Queensland and back a few times, which is about 2100 miles there and back.

I got 2019 Sporty 48 Special and was about 2 weeks till I swapped out the tank for a 4 gal tank. Much better. I have never caved into the Whole "what ya look like thing". if I worried about that, I'd never leave my basement.

I'm in my early 60's now. Not ready to give up riding. But the heavy cruiser I have is getting to be to much. I'm 6' tall at about 150 lbs. I like the looks of the 48 & I would like to get back to a standard riding up right riding style. Sometimes it's nice or need be, to get up on the tank & ride it hard. Unlike something with forward controls. What do you think. God bless you. Donnie.

Great bike .. after riding an M8, as nice and refined as it is, the 48 feels raw like HDs of the past ...which is a good thing. Only problem is that there's not much cornering clearance with mid-controls. HD should have done what was needed to keep the air-cooled Sporty in production and add some variants.

Paugcho makes a 4.2 gallon gas tank that I think would look great on a 48. A mustang seat would make it much better for medium distance rides.

The Paugcho fuel tanks look great and are priced fairly, but buyer beware, they take some finishing work before painting. (Voice of experience)

might pick one of these up for my first bike, it's between the indian scout and the 48. i just love how classic these sportsters look and the endless aftermarket parts, but the scout is so clean and mean looking. really tough decision

The scouts a bit too refined power wise, this is a poorly optimized bike in comparison which is what makes it good for a beginner despite being 1000cc+

Bought an 2010 Iron and want to swap a wide front end the 48 has. Both great looking sportys...ps. Riders been dropping mirrors under the bar before the 48 came out. I tried it. Looks good but not so great for looking back.

Had a aniversary edition 1200 sportster that I loved and someone want to give me more money than I paid for it….so I let it go and had this model in my sights when he gave me cash for the old one. In fact, I saved 1k on it as he needed to sell(sucks when that happens for sure.) I’ve been on the 2010 model now for two years and although I’m putting gas in it seems every other day(I’m not) I still am impressed with the fuel injection 1200 and it caught me off guard one of the first few times I got onto it and the back tire broke loose a bit just into second. I swear I’m not lying and it happened. It’s all balls on the low end( a friend said who knows more than I) plus still plenty of power to cruise the highway confidently, love the wide front tire, the ride is smooth and it’s a no BS,overloaded with chrome that takes hours to clean, took the windshield off mine the guy had on it(looked stupid) removed the baffles from the Vance and Hines short shots(I dunno the model, they are short and turn sharp towards the ground) for the Karen in the neighborhood who tried to tell it’s too loud. Solo seat was a aftermarket and added an LED headlamp. I love it. Not sure if I get 100 per tank but it’s still better MPG than the wife’s car. (When I t rains, I’m jealous of her) but this is the sportster that HD should’ve been making years ago.

Nice video Now that Harley announced discontinuation of sportsters due to Euro 5 , do u advise to buy the available ones? Will the value increase in future as it will be remain as classic models after some years. I am getting a preowned from showroom 2019 - 48 model with 5K mileage for good price I m concerned about spare parts after some years will original spare parts and/or OEM parts will be available ? Any inputs are valuable! Thanks
