The latest in a line of 100 high-impact motorcycles the company plans to introduce by 2027, these new high-bar Sportsters combine throw-back styling trends from the custom-bike scene with the solid foundation of the Sportster platform and the punchy performance of the Evolution 1200 V-Twin engine. Arriving shortly in the Middle East, the Iron 1200 and Forty-Eight Special models will soon be available to the region\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n<p>Since its introduction in 1957, Sportster motorcycles have been repeatedly reimagined, in the hands of both the Motor Company and bike owners: The Sportster as a bobber, a chopper, a scrambler and a caf\u00e9 racer; as a hero on flat tracks and drag strips and road-race courses; as an accessible entry-point for first-time riders, and as a custom-of-one cruiser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince its inception, the Sportster has offered the perfect combination of size, power and character that makes it appealing to so many different riders,\u201d said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson V.P. of Styling &amp; Design. \u201cA Sportster is a relatively easy bike to strip down and reinvent. What we\u2019ve done to create the new Iron 1200 and Forty-Eight Special is what Sportster owners have been doing with their own bikes for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3249 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Image-1-Harley-Davidson-Iron-1200-and-Forty-Eight-Special-models.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Image-1-Harley-Davidson-Iron-1200-and-Forty-Eight-Special-models.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Image-1-Harley-Davidson-Iron-1200-and-Forty-Eight-Special-models-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Image-1-Harley-Davidson-Iron-1200-and-Forty-Eight-Special-models-768x634.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Image-1-Harley-Davidson-Iron-1200-and-Forty-Eight-Special-models-1024x845.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Iron 1200 and Forty-Eight Special models and full specifications, visit Harley-Davidson dealers or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.h-d.com\">www.h-d.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harley-Davidson adds to the long legacy of its Sportster motorcycle line with the introduction of the Iron 1200 and Forty-Eight Special models.
