Bike Profile

The Harley-Davidson Sportster Hugger, a custom cruiser, comes with a single seat, so is made for the rider who likes to cruise by him/herself, or for riding to work on those nice days when you wish you were outside. There isn’t much to the suspension, so a long tour might be a bit uncomfortable, unless you are a hard-core biker. The fuel tank only holds 3 ½ gallons anyway, so you’d be stopping quite a bit if you tried to tour on this bike.

The air-cooled engine is the same 883 in the Sportster 883. It is a v-twin that has two valves per cylinder (intake and exhaust), and makes about 50 horsepower (in the 1998 model) at 6,000 rpm and 48.7 foot pounds of torque at 4,100 rpm. Top speed for the Hugger is 93.2 miles per hour.

The engine is backed by a five-speed transmission and a belt drive. The suspension is typical Harley suspension, which doesn’t give a lot of room for comfort on long trips. The front and rear brakes are single disc brakes, so panic stops should be avoided at all costs.

The Harley-Davidson Sportster Hugger sits about 4 inches lower than any other sportster, and has a narrower seat, making this a nice bike for shorter people or a female rider. The bike only weights 485 pounds dry (no gas and oil), so it make sa great bike for a person just starting out.
