The history of the Sportster in the Harley Davidson range can be traced back to the introduction of the side valve K series machines introduced in 1952. Intended to compete with the overhead valve 500cc British machines on both the track and the road the new models were considerably lighter than their over head valve brothers. The next major step in the evolution of the range came in 1957 when the over head valve 883cc XL series of machines was introduced to be joined at the beginning of the 1970's by a larger capacity variant initially displacing 997cc. Whilst the 883cc engine size would remain a constant, continuing to this day, the larger variant would undergo two further increases in capacity, the first coming in 1986 with the introduction of the Evo 1100cc the second in 1988 when the 1200cc engine was adopted. Throughout production the Sportser has retained its slim, stripped down appearance.
This example of the larger capacity machine dates from 1992 and is fitted with S and S cylinder heads and air-filter and a Supertrapp exhaust system. The machine is offered with an attractive, custom paint-job featuring the "American Eagle" and is enhanced with various aftermarket chrome accessories including twin driving lamps and battery box and a screen. Spanish papers are supplied with the motorcycle.
