The private seller offers for sale this 2004 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom, powered by a 1,200 cc V-twin engine. Dressed in deep gloss black and set off by generous chrome on the engine, exhaust and controls, this Sportster carries a distinctly tough, purposeful look that sets it apart from the standard factory bikes. Up front, a compact headlight fairing with a tinted screen gives the motorcycle a muscular club-style profile, while a sissy bar and a pair of leather saddlebags at the rear add real practicality for weekend touring and riding two-up. The chrome air cleaner cover proudly carries the 1200 Custom script and the classic Bar and Shield emblem adorns the black tank, a combination that leaves no doubt about the bike’s pedigree. The odometer shows 65,288 km, and the seller rates the paintwork, mechanics and overall condition of the motorcycle as good, making it an appealing proposition for riders who want an authentic American V-twin with character, and a fine basis for anyone who enjoys adding their own personal touches.
The Sportster is the longest-running model line in Harley-Davidson history, introduced in 1957 and built for more than six decades as the brand’s most agile and accessible big twin. The 2004 model year marked the most significant update in the Sportster’s life: a completely new frame with a rubber-mounted engine, which dramatically reduced vibration and transformed the bike’s comfort at cruising speeds, while preserving the raw, mechanical feel that owners love. At its heart sits the air-cooled 1,200 cc Evolution V-twin, with its 45-degree cylinder angle, unmistakable potato-potato exhaust note and strong low-down torque. The 1200 Custom variant took that formula and dressed it in cruiser style, with chrome finishes, forward-set controls and a relaxed riding position. Today the rubber-mounted Evolution Sportsters are widely regarded as one of the best entry points into the Harley-Davidson world, valued for their simple, robust engineering, their huge aftermarket support and the endless possibilities they offer for personalisation, making a 2004 1200 Custom a sought-after machine among riders and collectors alike.
