The XL1200S is an excellent motorcycle that just happens to be a Harley. Handling,ease of riding,top drawer suspension and super brakes set the "S" apart from the typical Harley showboat.Junk the stock air cleaner,put some free flowing mufflers on and a module with a 6000rpm rev limiter.You´ll have about 80HP and big thick torque!Roll-on response is great without downshifting. There is noticeable vibration over 75 mph, but very smooth at 50-70 mph. Had many bikes of all types,this one is among the most fun.
