The 2013 Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight Black is a classic cruiser built around Harley’s iconic 1,201 cc air-cooled V-twin Evolution engine paired with a 5-speed transmission, delivering strong low-end torque and relaxed highway cruising performance. The Forty-Eight’s styling is inspired by the original 1948 Sportster with a distinctive “peanut” fuel tank, fat front tire and low solo seat for a bold presence on the road. It features a steel tubular frame, forward foot controls and wide handlebars for confident handling in urban and open-road environments. Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear provide dependable stopping power, while cruiser-oriented tires deliver solid traction on paved surfaces. The Sportster Forty-Eight blends timeless Harley styling, comfortable ergonomics and rugged engine character for enjoyable everyday riding and weekend cruising.
