Harley-Davidson Forty Eight Summary

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight has received mechanical upgrades to comply with the newest emission norms. The updated, 1,202cc, V-twin cylinder, air-cooled engine delivers a maximum torque output of 97Nm at 4,250rpm. The motor is linked to a five-speed gearbox.

The BS6-compliant Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight is available in a single variant and three colour options – Vivid Black, Billiard Teal, and Midnight Crimson. The Billiard Teal and Midnight Crimson paint options carry a price premium over the Vivid Black colour.

The styling cues retain a round headlight at the front, a compact (7.9-litre) fuel tank, a rider-only saddle, twin exhaust, and twin exhaust canisters. The braking hardware on the motorcycle includes single discs with dual-piston callipers on both wheels while the safety net includes dual-channel ABS. The suspension tasks are handled by 49mm forks at the front and an Emulsion shock with a screw pre-load adjuster at the rear.

The motorcycle tips the weighing scale at 252kg (kerb) and boasts a seat height of 710mm. The 16-inch alloy wheels are wrapped in 130/90-section front and 150/80-section rear tyres.

      The bike here we are talking about is a Harley Davidson forty version with 1 version. The bike is great for classic and ride within the city people but not so comfortable for long riders, with a 1202cc engine the company is giving us a monster the color variant is just awesome I like this bike the most of all.

      Road beast

      3 years ago


      Satish

      To be honest it was my best decision to buy this bike. Like it’s an absolute beast. I got this delivered 7-8 months back and i’m riding this beast since then. Power, stability, comfort you can’t complain. In real life it looks even better than the pictures and to feel the performance you have to ride this beauty once, you won’t regret. Till now everything is going pretty well and i’m so happy for having this. Yeah you’ve to maintain the beast as they need some love and care too.

      You have to change engine oils as the service centre instructions and you can use additional features as well.

      One of the best/popular bike in India.. Indians are die-heart fan on this bike.. Whenever people heard about its brand name.. Literally they got goose-bumps. We can't complain about this bike,, overall look, specs, features, at every aspect this bike has upper hand. I never own this bike but I'd say this bike is dope!
