At a time when life has become too complex, Harley-Davidson answers the call for a minimalist revival with a bike stripped of excess parts leaving just you and the engine. The new Forty-Eight motorcycle is a factory custom with an unconventional look and feel. It’s the latest introduction to Harley-Davidson’s Dark Custom collection of raw and elemental bikes, Forty-Eight pushes the limits on style and performance and is stripped down to what really matters —the same way today’s young generation of freedom-seekers live their lives.

The Forty-Eight may resemble a classic Sportster, but this bike is about as unconventional as it gets. From its “peanut” fuel tank and under-bar mounted mirrors to its slammed stance and fat tires, the Forty-Eight takes motorcycle design as close to the edge as possible.

The Forty-Eight is stripped of saddlebags, allowing no room for storage – aside from what fits in your pockets. The Forty-Eight it won’t break the bank starting at just $10,499 MSRP in Vivid Black. Also offered on silver and orange (see pics below)
