Harley-Davidson unveils new motorcycle, the Forty-Eight




WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE - Harley-Davidson unveiled a new motorcycle Friday; a motorcycle that is part of the Sportster lineup. It's called the Forty-Eight and is part of Harley's Dark Custom series.

There are a few items which set the Forty-Eight apart from the rest of the Sportster lineup. There's the beefy, 16-inch front tire. The mirrors on the bike hang below the handlebars. And the gas tank is a 2.1 gallon peanut-style tank.

Why is the bike called the Forty-Eight? Harley put the first peanut-style gas tank on a 1948 edition motorcycle.
