2011 Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight The Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight is a Standard style motorcycle with an MSRP of $10,499 and is a carryover vehicle for 2011. Power is provided by a 4-Stroke, 1200cc, Air cooled, OHV – Pushrod, V Twin engine with Electric starter. The engine is paired with a 5-Speed Manual transmission and total fuel capacity is 2.1 gallons. The Sportster Forty-Eight rides on Steel wheels with a Dunlop(r) MT90 B16 72H front tire and a Dunlop(r) 150/80 R16 71H rear tire. The front suspension is a Telescopic Fork while the rear suspension is a Twin Sided Swing Arm. Front Hydraulic Disc brakes and rear Hydraulic Disc brakes provide for the stopping power. The Sportster(r) Forty-Eight(tm) comes standard with a One-Piece, 2-passenger seating.

The all-new Forty-Eight™ is an urban brawler that drips attitude from every element; from the fat, balloon tires to the all-steel peanut tank to the solo seat. Custom touches define this bulldog of a bike. A slammed speedometer, under bar mounted mirrors and 26-inch seat height offer a low profile, while the peanut tank and big 16-inch wheels combine for a menacing look that could only come from Harley-Davidson.
