The 1997 MY Harley Davidson FXSTS Softail Springer has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1337cc, 45-degree V-Twin powerplant, paired to a five-speed manual transmission with a belt final drive, that can reach a maximum power output of 55 horsepower and 111 Nm of torque.
In the late 1940s, when motorcycle builders peered into a murky future to guess what sort of two-wheeled marvels people would be enjoying in half a century, they probably didn’t include the possibility that some of their counterparts two generations later would be striving to recreate the very bikes that they were building. But, perhaps as an escape from the escalation of technology that hurtles us ever-quicker into an uncertain future, there is a growing trend toward increasingly nostalgic motorcycles.
look no further than the legions of entities who have professed an intention to revive the Indian motorcycles of that era. The return of other old names like Excelsior, the fact that the new Triumph motorcycle company saw its greatest success in America with its most-nostalgic model, and the increasingly classic styling of cruisers from all manufacturers underscores motorcyclists' desire for the machines of a simpler era. And that simply reflects the larger world's fascination with old machines, with everything from old refrigerators to half-century-old bicycles to ancient farm equipment seeing a surge of interest. You wonder why American car makers aren't rolling out modern renditions of '57 Chevys and '49 pickups.

Few companies have woven their present with the past the way Harley-Davidson has. The names Heritage and Classic are sprinkled liberally throughout its model line. But no previous model digs deeper into Harley's illustrious past than the new Heritage Springer Softail, which takes many of its styling cues from a 1948 Harley model.
the Hollister rally is being resurrected, and the newest Harley model seeks to emulate its 1948 forerunner. The familiar 1340cc (80-cubic-inch), air-cooled V-twin has specifications similar to that 1948 motor, though every part is different. It's set in the clean lines of the Softail chassis, which mimics a hardtail chassis. For the first time, Harley has mated its modern Springer front end (which enjoys the benefits of damping) with a 16-inch front wheel. Previous Springer models have all used 21-inch front wheels, but the 16-incher is actually a more authentic match in terms of classic machines.

As with other Springer-equipped machines, the front end provides a smooth ride free of the sticking friction (or stiction) that plagues telescopic fork legs. As a result, you get a smoother ride over small ripples and ridges than with most conventional front suspensions. The single-shock rear end is not as compliant over large bumps, especially sharp-edged models, as the front end, which diminishes the overall smoothness. The wide 16-inch front wheel lightens up the steering manners a bit, but adds a slight tendency to straighten up under braking, which we didn’t note with the skinny 21-inch wheel. Steering is otherwise neutral, particularly at low speeds, when the bike is extremely responsive and steady. Handling is stable in corners or simply bucking side winds on the open road. ‪@WickedHarley‬ ‪@harleydavidsonpeople‬ ‪@HarleyDavidsonBreakout‬ ‪@RockstarHarley‬ ‪@harleydavidson‬
