Harley Davidson Forty Eight 1200 Reviews

Power, Style and a hefty price tag
Jul 15, 2023 03:21 PM749 Views

Harley-Davidson's Forty-Eight 1200 is an absolute powerhouse of a bike that exudes style and packs a thrilling riding experience. From its iconic design to the roaring engine, this motorcycle is a dream come true for avid riders seeking both performance and aesthetics.


One of the standout features of the Forty-Eight 1200 is its striking design. The classic bobber style, characterized by its low-slung profile, fat front tire, and minimalistic aesthetics, commands attention on the road. The bike's aggressive stance and eye-catching paint options add to its appeal, making it a head-turner wherever it goes.


The heart of this beast lies in its 1202cc air-cooled V-twin engine, which delivers an exhilarating burst of power. The engine's torquey nature ensures a smooth and responsive ride, with plenty of low-end grunt for an effortless cruising experience. Whether navigating city streets or hitting the open highway, the Forty-Eight 1200 proves to be a joy to ride in all conditions.


Moreover, the bike's handling is surprisingly nimble for its size, thanks to its well-balanced chassis and capable suspension. It feels planted and stable, inspiring confidence during cornering and quick maneuvers. The comfortable and ergonomically designed seat, along with well-positioned foot pegs and handlebars, adds to the overall comfort and ride quality.


The attention to detail is evident in the build quality and craftsmanship of the Forty-Eight 1200. Harley-Davidson's commitment to using premium materials ensures a durable and reliable machine that can withstand the test of time. The bike's fit and finish are impeccable, further enhancing the sense of pride that comes with owning a Harley-Davidson.


However, there's no denying that the price tag of 10, 01, 000 is a significant deterrent for many potential buyers. While the bike offers an exceptional riding experience, it falls in a price range that puts it out of reach for a broader audience. The high cost of ownership, including maintenance and insurance, can be a considerable burden for those on a tighter budget.


In conclusion, the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight 1200 is an impressive motorcycle that combines power, style, and craftsmanship into one attractive package. It embodies the spirit of the classic American cruiser while incorporating modern engineering for a refined riding experience. The bike's only drawback is its steep price, which may deter some potential buyers. If the budget allows for it, the Forty-Eight 1200 is undoubtedly a machine that will provide endless enjoyment and pride for years to come.

Low mileage and performance
Apr 18, 2022 12:16 AM2932 Views (via Android App)

I had bought this bike when ut was launched some years ago as I was fond of new bikes.


I paid for the bike and it was delivered in a week or so and after that I drived it for some days when I came to know about the poor mileage of this boke it only gave a mileage of two to three kilometres in a litre of fuel.


It was also having issues taking the pickup as it took more time to reach hundred than the one committed by the bike company.


I would not recommend this bike for a rider as it also posses very lower mileage and also the performance is not that good.

One problem with this is that it requires a lot of care which is a bit more than any normal bike. Means the problem of its service remains in many places. The only problem is its care or service. By the way, the bike looks quite good and I feel really good.

The HD 48
Apr 05, 2018 08:12 PM7699 Views (via Mobile)

The Harley Davidson 48 is one of the most stylish bike produced by them.


One of the negative part is that it is single seated bike .


And also the stock bike comes without footrest the chain guard, mirror and some of the main important accessories.


The power produced is intense and crazy.


Overall the bike look absolutely stunning with those colour tones.


It's actually 1200 cc which is quite heavy and difficult to roam in India traffic.

Sportster 48
Jul 08, 2017 10:24 AM8609 Views

Harley Davidson another mid range motorcycle from Harley .This bike comes with a 1200cc which is very powerful and it also have  attractive  looks. The signature style of this bike is its big fat both rear and back tyres and it a low ride sitting posture the big tyre provide good grip on the road and V-Twin engine provide tremondus power it is one of the best cruiseer bike in the range. one of the draw back of this bike is the mileage, but if u are a real Harley fan u wont take it into the consideration . Harley Davidson is a International brand so 100% reliable.  So Overall this bike is a "BEAST".

Looks like a big bike, But is not.
Jul 03, 2017 10:39 PM9647 Views

Harley Davidson is a well known motor manufacturer. It has a variety of bikes above 1000cc and they are quiet impressive in looks and aggressive from performance. But this doesn't mean that all the variants perform equally good in the Sportster category.


Today I would be discussing the good and the bad in the Harley-Davidson Forty Eight.


Pros:




  • 1202cc Engine.




  • 16.5 kmpl is a feature that attracts the buyer.




  • The Double disc alloys are amazing.




  • Air-Cooled, Evolution Engine




  • Anasultan-Digi Console.






Cons:




  • 5 speed manual gives a short duration at high gears.




  • Not for touring.




  • The front fork suspension is too bad and leaves the rider with back pain after every ride.




  • 60 bhp @ 5500 rpm is not impressive. A lot more is expected from a Harley-Davidson.




  • The price tag of 9.65 lakhs is a bit high.






Thank You.

SUITABLE FOR TALL PERSONS
Feb 28, 2017 05:40 PM9828 Views

It was introduced in 2010 as a classic design alternative to the dark series sportsters. As such, it has the traditional peanut-shaped tank, spoked wheels and lots of chrome. It isn't the most practical of motorcycles, with that combination of 1200cc engine and 8-litre fuel tank, but it does have its share of fans, and rightfully so - the Forty Eight has gobs of character. In short, if a slightly custom-looking but retro Sportster that can be used for city riding is on your list, the Forty Eight should manage it nicely. The bike is quite heavy and it has flat tyres. Riding this bike is not easy and you have to be tall to drive it. It is not designed for Indian roads.


OK but CRITICAL bike"
Jan 25, 2017 07:51 PM8729 Views (via Android App)

I am not a big fan of the Forty-Eight’s riding position. Even though the riding position is upright, the handle-bar is far off, making the whole riding experience slightly tedious. You have to stretch out your legs to reach the pegs as they are placed way ahead. This is fine for someone who will just ride the Forty-Eight all the time and don’t own any other motorcycles. The under-bar mirrors are not just practical but look quite appealing too.


Harley-Davidson has equipped the Forty-Eight with a new suspension setup, with wider 49mm forks doing the duty in front. However, the ride is on the stiffer side. Couple this with 130/90B16 front tyre and the riding experience isn’t pleasant. Be prepared to feel every bit of the road, small stones, bumps, undulations et al. The bike’s ground clearance of 110mm doesn’t help matters either; you will end up riding gingerly over every speed hump that comes your way and that my friend is way too many. Once you have got the bumps out of the way it comes down to ergonomics. One will need to plan out the U-turns on the Forty Eight because of the far set handlebar.


VERY VERY BEST BIKE

HARLEY series is one of the most aggressive naked sports motorcycles, which is now available in the Indian two-wheeler market. The range is having 10 bikes ranging from 795cc to 1200cc. The upcoming HARLEYr 1200R is known as the most powerful naked machine till date in company’s dynasty. This time with 1200R, Ducati has tried to make the bike lighter with better handling with increased power and gave it a dynamic sporty look that makes it stand-apart f

A hunk of a bicycle with huge strength and incredible vintage outline. The tires are truly tough. Extraordinary hang on the ground and it feels so decent taking a ride in this glorious bicycle. The slowing mechanism are marvelous with those enormous plate brakes and awesome water power activities. The styling are truly bona fide giving the feels for substantial engine biking. The estimating are somewhat high as that of more than lakhs. In any case, it is guaranteed to one side .The complete and he chrome layers are astounding and it was conveyed with the HD legitimacy. The V-Twin motor and the apparatus show framework is great. Furthermore, it has its own particular security framework that makes it more secure. It's a bicycle that each engine crazy person can dream of.


Reality Exposed of Harley Davidson 48 1200
Jan 21, 2017 03:42 PM10101 Views

"HARLEY DAVIDSON FORTY EIGHT 1200", One of the finest bikes of Harley Motors that can be easily bought in India as well as abroad.  The most astonishing thing about this bike is its'looks' it is not like those Harley motor's  bikes that sucks like street rider .  Its look are some word like a  super classical and sporty bike with lot of power in its twin V ROD  engines(1200 cc) . The quality of tyres make it like  an perfect off roader . It is one of the bike that I have rode and I can perfectly define about it . When you get a lot of power and thrilling experience one could forget about the comfort . It has an excellent handling and control, indicators are perfectly placed but one would be disappointed by looking over its fuel consumption its nearly about 4-5 km/l and that's the cons in this perfect machine and one of the Best bike by Harley Davidson.
