  • This is a 2011 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200C (1200 Custom) that I purchased used on craigslist. Tag along as I take the bike for a spin, discuss how much I paid, and do some off roading! Enjoy!
    This is a re-up from months ago when I first started the channel (sorry if you've already seen the video).

    Watch till the very end for a pretty gnarly slam on the bmx bike (from way back when). As always, thanks for watching!

    i'm looking to pick up a 2007 XL1200C this week w/ 5700 miles, for $3500. Definitely a different bike with the skinny tire up front but I think i'll enjoy it.

    These certainly go alot cheaper in the USA. Here in the UK some 2011 2012 bikes are fetching £ 7500 with 9k on them. 2017 models £9000 with 3k on the clock.

      Agreed on that, I just paid £6500 for a 09 custom immaculate condition wth 4200 miles on it, not sure on the exchange rate, that's got to be at least 7500 dollars and that's 4 years later

    Just a tip for the noobs, never ride long time on an almost dead battery. Your alternator will be fried, very costly to replace.
    The reason is when battery is dead she never want to charge fully, she will pull a lot of current for an extended periode of time from the alternator and it end up running hot and hotter of time, if battery not replaced for long time you may have later on to replace the battery and the alternator, maybe the regulator as well. Good luck !

    So, I used to drive a Vtx 1300, traded that in for a 2009 m90 Suzuki. Turns out I’m not a muscle cruiser guy and miss my VTX (it was my second VTX)
    I was thinking of the sportser custom1200 fat tire) I don’t have a garage for larger bike. Need lighter than heavier...
    Whacha think?
    Great vids!

    • @JonsMotoGarage
      @JonsMotoGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Coming from the vtx 1300, I think you'll enjoy the low end torque of the 1200 sportster. The handling/ergos may feel a bit strange initially. But overall I'm a big fan of the sportster 1200. Plus, you get the easy fuel injection. Those vtx 1300s always seem to run a bit cold blooded, even here in az lol. Best bet is get your hands on one at a demo day and see how you like it. Thanks for watching and commenting! !
