A new addition to Harley-Davidson's XL ever-popular Sportster line-up for 1996, the 1200S Sport featured triple floating disc brakes; fully adjustable suspension front and rear; 13-spoke alloy wheels; 'flat-track' handlebars; and a two-position seat. All Sportsters received a larger 3.3-gallon tank for 1997, while for the following year the 1200S was upgraded with twin-plug cylinder heads; a higher compression ratio; 'hotter' camshafts; and soft-compound tyres. There were additional performance enhancing changes made to the 1200S engine for 1999, while 4-piston callipers were adopted for the triple disc brakes and a black-finished exhaust system introduced for 2000. A rev counter; remote-reservoir gas shocks; and a five-speed gearbox were also standard features. A Harley wouldn't be a Harley without some tasty after-market additions, and this 1200S Sport features a Harley-Davidson Screaming Eagle exhaust system; a Screaming Eagle free-flow air filter; an oil cooler; a Stage 1 tune (larger carburettor jets); a bobbed rear mudguard; and a H-D 'Badlander' custom seat (the original 'King & Queen' seat is included in the sale). The Sport currently displays a total of only 21,366 miles on the odometer and is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout. Last MoT'd to May 2016 and SORN'd since then, the Harley has been run regularly and is said to be 'ready to go'.
