In 1952, the Model K Sport and Sport Solo motorcycles (the predecessors to the Sportster) were introduced.
The engines of the Sportsters range from 883cc to a 1200cc Evolution engine. It is equipped with a 3.3 gallon fuel tank, but you can increase this to a 4.5 gallon tank.
The most welcoming recent introduction to the Sportster range is the reduced clutch effort that makes riding easier and opens all the models to a wider range of motorcycle riders. The narrow frame of all the Sportster makes them more agile which again improves its ride.
