Harley-Davidson's 1200 Custom is a mid-year addition to the 2011 lineup, Harley's new "H-D1" customization program, the 1200 Custom starts at $10,299 and aims at empowering buyers by offering seven ways to switch-up the bike's setup. Wheels, handlebars, seats, paint, foot control position, security system, and engine finish can be optioned, ranging from zero dollars (for a solo seat) to $640 (for multiple option custom paint.) Look past its chunky Michelin Scorcher tires, and you'll find the usual underpinnings, including a 1,200cc v-twin that produces 79 ft-lb of torque, a big 4.5 gallon fuel tank, and a low seat height of 26.6 inches.

Despite the fact that it’s a Sportster at heart, the new 1200 Custom comes with a wide front end and chunky 16-inch tire, new wheels, a pull-back handlebar, and a reshaped LED tail lamp. The model is what Harley likes to call “A Sportster with Fattitude.”

The new H-D1 factory customization program allows the customer to choose from seven option categories to optimize fit, function and style. By selecting from available factory-installed wheels, handlebars, seats, paint, foot control position, security system, and engine finish, the customer can create its very own, personalized 1200 Custom.
