XL 1200V Seventy-Two™

Overview:

The 2012 Harley-Davidson Sportster Seventy-Two XL1200V is a bare bones radical custom.

From front to rear, the Seventy-Two sports a bold, vintage look that recalls classic bobbers and the styling of 1970s choppers. With its big flake paint, peanut tank, round retro-style air-cleaner cover, ape-hanger handlebars, and brilliant whitewalls, the Sportster Seventy-Two boasts a one-of-a-kind custom style that's full of attitude. And the Seventy-Two is uniquely priced to be an incredibly attractive value.

No other bike in its class offers so much no-nonsense retro attitude and modern high-end style at such affordable cost.

The Harley Seventy-Two is a masterful mix of vintage bobber and contemporary retro-chopper styling. Its powerful Evolution engine gives it impressive road muscle. The XL1200V's big-flake paint on the fuel tank is eye-catching, expressive, and of the highest Harley-Davidson quality. Forward-mounted controls make the Seventy-Two XL1200V comfortable for cruising across town.

The Harley-Davidson XL1200V is an attractively priced bike that brings the best of modern chrome-and-bling appeal to an aggressive, old-school chopper attitude. The Seventy-Two screams high-end custom, at a price that makes the it truly accessible.
