AXR 1200 Cafe Sportster from AXR Cycle

AXR Cycle has introduced their creation for Harley Davidson Sportster 883. The custom bike comes with engine refinement that delivers now the performance of the bigger 1200cc. The other modification includes lighter weight, upgraded suspension, upgraded brakes and quite a bit more. AXR 1200 Cafe Sportster has now better handling than the standard version. Mark Noyes, owner of AXR Cycle made the cafe styled bike as light as possible helped a lot by the aluminum sub frame between the rear fender and seat which raises the seat height to 32 inches. Mark says the completed bike is at least 100 pounds lighter than Harley Davidson�s new X󈟐.AXR 1200 Cafe Sportster has also better handling. See the specs of the bike below for more.

Harley Davidson�s Sportster is a versatile bike that can take on multiple personalities, it all depends on how you approach it. The cruiser direction has been pretty well covered but a growing number of riders like the street tracker and cafe personalities hidden away in the Motor Company�s slightly smaller offering, it�s a way of going back to the Sportster�s performance roots. I never understood why they drifted away to begin with. As Harley tries to broaden their appeal and attract a younger owner, this could be one way to do it without having to come up with an entirely new model, just repurpose a bike already in the lineup.
Of course, you don�t have to wait for Milwaukee to do it, AXR Cycle brings out the cafe racer right now. If you like the way this one looks, why not give Mark a call? He can build you a complete bike or upgrade your current Sportster.
