Motorcycle specifications Harley-DavidsonXL SPORTSTER 1200 CUSTOM CB 2016 Black & Classic
presentation of the XL SPORTSTER 1200 CUSTOM CB 2016
the Sportster 1200 Custom built up a real little family in 2013... and brings with it its limited editions in 2014, 2015 and 2016. There's a standard version, the CA, and a darker version, the CB. Based on the classic XL 1200 Custom, the CB gains height with its mini Ape-Hanger handlebars, and depth with its Black Denim color scheme. This matte black extends over a large part of the machine, from the spoked rims to the engine casings, not forgetting the bodywork. But chrome fans rest assured: the bike isn't all black, and some parts shine with contrast.
Few changes in appearance, but when you switch from a Sportster CA to a CB, you'll experience a singular change in style, as well as in the way you ride. Just goes to show that the Sportster is still capable of many surprises.
