After the first Sportster was introduced in 1957 to meet the challenge mounted by British motorcycle companies on both road and track, Harley-Davidson never looked back. The legendary Sportster is still one of the staple motorcycles offered by Harley-Davidson. With the iconic “Peanut” tank, V-Twin engine and light weight, minimal styling, the Sportster is instantly recognizable.
This 1972 model is a clean and beautiful example of the pre-EVO Sportster, featuring pinstriped tank and fenders, front and back drum brakes and the 1000cc Ironhead engine.
