Harley-davidson Forty-eight
The Harley-davidson Forty-eight has a top speed of 170 km/h, produces 60 hp and weighs 253 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
ハーレーダビッドソンフォーティーエイト（XL1200X）は、スポーツスターファミリーの一部として2010年に発売されました。独特のピーナッツ燃料タンクを備えた1948年のハーレーダビッドソンモデルからスタイリングのインスピレーションを得ました。レトロなボバーの美学、黒塗りのコンポーネント、アグレッシブな低めのスタンスにより、ハーレーで最も人気のあるスポーツスターのバリエーションの1つになりました。フォーティエイトスペシャルは2018年に追加され、ハーレーが新しいスポーツスターSプラットフォームに焦点を移したため、フォーティーエイトを含むスポーツスターライン全体が2022年以降廃止されました。

購入者が知っておくべきこと
Tiny But Thirsty Tank
The Forty-Eight is named after its retro 1948-inspired peanut tank, but that style comes at a cost — it only holds 2.1 gallons, limiting range to roughly 80-100 miles per tank.
Strong Resale Value
The Forty-Eight holds its value exceptionally well in the used market due to its iconic bobber styling and strong brand loyalty, often retaining 70-80% of its value after two years.
Watch the Cam Chain
Pre-2017 models with the Twin Cam 1200 engine are known to develop cam chain tensioner issues over time — always verify service history and look for any ticking sounds at idle before buying.

中古購入者レビュー
"A charismatic city scramblers that demands realistic expectations about range and comfort."
$7,000-$11,500 usedThe Forty-Eight is one of Harley's more honest motorcycles — a genuine bobber-style machine that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. That 1200cc Sportster engine has decades of proven reliability behind it, and when you crack the throttle mid-corner, there's real character there. The peanut tank looks fantastic but kills your range hard — expect 80-90 miles before you're hunting a gas station. Factor that into every ride you plan. Used examples are everywhere, which is both good and bad. Good because prices are negotiable and parts are cheap. Bad because half of them have been dropped by inexperienced riders who bought the aesthetic before the skill. Check the engine cases, footpegs, and handlebar ends religiously. Pre-2014 models had weaker forks — avoid those unless money is tight. The 2016-onwards bikes got suspension improvements that make a genuine difference on broken pavement. Seat comfort is genuinely poor beyond an hour. This is a city bike wearing bobber clothes, and it's brilliant within those boundaries.
