The 2014 MY Harley Davidson Forty-eight sports an air-cooled, 1202cc Evolution powerhouse that produces 96 Nm at 3750 rpm. It also features some state-of-the-art technologies like anti locking, upgraded brakes, a new closed loop exhaust system and redesigned ergonomic hand controls, all to make life behind the bars as easy as possible.

On the visual side of things, the looks are dominated by a far front tire, mounted on a lace-spoked wheel, at the end of a beefy front fork. The slammed handlebars have under mount mirrors, for an authentic drag-style look, while the rear end has been kept as clean as possible. The Hard Candy Custom paint adds an one-of-a-kind touch to this machine.

The 2015 MY Harley Davidson Forty-eight sports a 1202cc, air-cooled Evolution engine that produces 98 Nm of torque, enough to tackle all kinds of roads, from motorways to steep, uphill mountain roads. It has all the modern technology found on its Sportster siblings, but with some visual features that really set it apart from the flock: the drag-style, blacked-out handlebars with under mount mirrors, the back end is as lean and clean as possible, with a minimalist look, plus the Hard Candy Custom paint scheme, which adds to the uniqueness of the Forty-eight in the world of cruiser production motorcycles.
