It is the racing history of the Sportster family and the Harley-Davidson XR-750 flat-track racers, that fuels the 2007 XL Sportster 883R design. A fuel-injected 883cc Evolution V-Twin powertrain with new cams for better performance is finished in wrinkle-black powdercoat. New gauges include a clock on the odometer, low fuel warning light and two trip set odometers. Front brake lever effort is reduced by 14 per cent and clutch lever effort is 8 per cent easier. The black 13-spoke cast aluminium wheels, headlamp "eyebrow", air cleaner cover and oil tank are all finished in black. The original Harley-Davidson racing-inspired graphics on the fuel tank are inspired by the track and look awesome on the street. Available for 2007 in Vivid Black, Mirage Orange Pearl or Pewter Pearl.
