Harley-davidson Sportster Xl1200t Superlow
The Harley-davidson Sportster Xl1200t Superlow has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated), produces 67 hp and weighs 263 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
De Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200T SuperLow werd in 2014 geïntroduceerd als een op comfort gerichte variant van de iconische Sportster-lijn, die zelf dateert uit 1957. Het is ontworpen met een lage zithoogte van 28,9 inch en ergonomische toervriendelijke functies zoals een grote voorruit en passagiersruimten, waardoor het een van de meest toegankelijke sportsters is voor een breed scala aan rijders. De XL1200T werd stopgezet na 2020 toen Harley-Davidson de luchtgekoelde Sportster-lijn uitfaseerde ten gunste van de nieuwe Revolution Max-aangedreven Sportster S.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Uniquely Low Seat Height
The SuperLow features a 25.5-inch seat height, one of the lowest in the Sportster lineup, making it ideal for shorter riders seeking confidence and comfort. This accessibility feature also broadens its appeal and helps maintain strong resale demand.
Watch the Primary Chain
The 1200cc Twin Cam engine is generally reliable, but buyers should inspect the primary chain tensioner and check for oil leaks around the rocker boxes, which are known weak points on higher-mileage examples. Regular oil changes with the correct HD-spec oil significantly extend engine life.
Solid Resale Value
Sportster XL1200T models hold their value well due to Harley-Davidson's strong brand loyalty and the bike's versatile touring-friendly accessories like the windscreen and upgraded suspension. Low-mileage examples in good condition typically retain 60–75% of their original value after three years.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The most livable Sportster ever built, and that means something."
$6,500-$10,500 usedThe Superlow 1200T is Harley's attempt at making the Sportster actually comfortable for real-world riding, and honestly? They mostly pulled it off. The stepped seat and slightly raised bars make a genuine difference on longer hauls compared to the standard XL1200. That 1202cc air-cooled V-twin pulls hard in the midrange and sounds properly menacing with the stock pipes — imagine anything aftermarket and you're grinning constantly. Buy one between 2014-2020 and check the primary chain tensioner carefully — it's a known weak spot that owners often neglect. Look for service records showing regular oil changes because these motors hate extended intervals. Vibration through the pegs is real above 70mph, and the two-valve pushrod motor isn't winning any efficiency awards at roughly 45mpg. Suspension is soft from the factory; previous owners may have already upgraded it, which is actually a bonus. For the money used, this thing punches above its weight. It's not pretending to be something it isn't — it's a characterful, reliable cruiser that rewards ownership.
