Harley-Davidson's 1200 Custom is a
mid-year addition to the 2011 lineup, Harley's new "H-D1" customization program,
the 1200 Custom starts at $10,299 and aims at empowering buyers by offering
seven ways to switch-up the bike's setup. Wheels, handlebars, seats, paint, foot
control position, security system, and engine finish can be optioned, ranging
from zero dollars (for a solo seat) to $640 (for multiple option custom paint.)
Look past its chunky Michelin Scorcher tires, and you'll find the usual
underpinnings, including a 1,200cc v-twin that produces 79 ft-lb of torque, a
big 4.5 gallon fuel tank, and a low seat height of 26.6 inches.
Despite the fact that it’s a
Sportster at heart, the new 1200 Custom comes with a wide front end and chunky
16-inch tire, new wheels, a pull-back handlebar, and a reshaped LED tail lamp.
The model is what Harley likes to call “A Sportster with Fattitude.”
The new H-D1 factory customization program allows the customer to choose from
seven option categories to optimize fit, function and style. By selecting from
available factory-installed wheels, handlebars, seats, paint, foot control
position, security system, and engine finish, the customer can create its very
own, personalized 1200 Custom.
 
Key features of the 2011 1200 Custom include:
• Air-cooled Evolution 1200cc V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel
Injection (ESPFI), rated at 79 ft. lb. peak torque at 4000 rpm.
