2013 Harley-Davidson XL SEVENTY TWO

Overview The Harley-Davidson® Seventy-Two™ motorcycle is a metal flake dream machine, a Sportster® on a trip back to the days when the cool kids rode a Sting-Ray and the big boys parked choppers in a row on the curb. Those motorcycles were long and lean; candy-apple color and gleaming chrome shimmering in hazy summer sunlight. From its Hard Candy Big Red Flake paint and ape bars to its narrow whitewall tires, the Seventy-Two is a respectful nod to that era, and to the influence of the custom culture that still percolates today along Whittier Boulevard, the legendary cruising street in East Los Angeles also known as Route 72. 

MODEL HIGHLIGHTS

The Seventy-Two motorcycle combines a classic chopper aesthetic with modern performance features, drawing inspiration from custom motorcycles of the 1970s. Key design highlights include new paint color options, classic chrome finishes, and a distinctive peanut tank, while the powertrain and ergonomics are designed for a smooth yet powerful riding experience.
