The Harley-Davidson Sportster 72 is a unique prospect that will probably prove to be just as divisive as ever.

In 1984 if you wanted to go faster, you needed more cylinders. Honda’s CBX1000 and Kawasaki’s Z1300 are 12 pistons of sheer muscle.

With the launch of the XR1200, Harley-Davidson has achieved several firsts.
