The Iron 1200™ starts with the 1200cc Evolution® engine that gives loads of famous Sportster® torque. It’s got a throwback look that goes right to the roots of Sportster motorcycle, thanks to 70’s-inspired tank graphics. It also features a low-slung Café solo seat, mid-mount controls, and mini ape hanger handlebars for an aggressive, two-fists-in-the-wind riding position.
