Harley-Davidson, Sportsters have ABS since 2014

A few days before the end of Motor Bike Expo 2014, Harley-Davidson updates the Sportster range from a safety perspective, offering The ABS system comes as standard. Since its launch way back in 1957, the Sportster range has made generations of motorcyclists dream. Despite being the “baby” of the V-Twin gang of Milwaukee, always characterized by its great handling and ease of use, combined with great style. Last but not least, it lends itself to being an excellent starting point for customization projects.

Among the main technical innovations of the 2014 Harley-Davidson Sportster range, now has been ABS system integrated, a discreet presence but of absolute importance for control during braking, especially in non-optimal conditions. The design required two years of development: they were reduced the size of some components of the braking system, between the transmission and the rear wheel, to make the ABS system practically invisible. Safety embraces style for a result that does not affect the timeless soul of the Sportster family. In addition to ABS, the eight historic models have been updated thanks to a new front and rear braking system, redesigned electrical system that facilitates access to maintenance, integration of the new Smart Security System HD system “keyless” ignition, exhaust system improved in emissions.

Buying a Sportster 1200 cc model today is even easier thanks to the new HARLEY OWN funding campaign promoted by Harley-Davidson Italia in collaboration with the Santander Consumer Bank Spa banking group. In practice it is possible to purchase the motorbike and then decide how to pay, furthermore after two or three years you can choose whether to keep it or return it to the official dealer. The protagonists of the new financing program are the 1200 Custom, 1200 Custom Limited Edition CA, 1200 Custom Limited Edition CB, Forty-Eight and Seventy-Two models. HARLEY OWN offers a new opportunity to access the Harley-Davidson world, less worries about the future and more time to live the two-cylinder dream.
