Buyer’s Guide Model Detail







Buyer's Guide > Forty-Eight
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
If the Slim is the hipster's Softail, the Forty-Eight is the hipster's Sportster. It rolls on black-rimmed spoke wheels, is dropped as low as it can be without locking the rear tire into the fender, and is available with a genuine metal-flake paint job on the gas tank. 'I'm hip!'. ABS is a $960 option.
