Fort Pierce Area 2020 Harley-Davidson Roadster™
Here at Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson, we know just how much sport a buyer will want in a Sportster. And that is where the 2020 Harley-Davidson Roadster comes into play. Its Evolution V-twin engine gives the Roadster a large amount of pulling power regardless of what speed you are riding at. Let's take a closer look at the Roadster's impressive V-twin engine and what makes it worth taking out for a test ride.
The Evolution V-twin Engine Specs
When you are shopping for a 2020 Harley-Davidson Roadster near Fort Pierce, stop by Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson and ask us about the Roadster's super sporty Evolution V-twin engine. This legendary engine is highly regarded for its huge amount of low-end torque.
The Roadster is not just your average Sportster, and it will take some getting used to. The ergonomics of this bike are definitely different, and the V-twin engine provides more low-end torque than what you get on many other sport riders. The Roadster exists in its own world thanks to this massively powerful engine.
This is a 1200 CC air-cooled engine that is designed for elevated aerodynamics. Its bore measures in at 3.5 inches and its stroke comes in at 3.8 inches. The Evolution V-twin engine has a displacement of 73.4 cubic inches and a 10:01 compression ratio. The fuel system is an Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) design, and the exhaust is a shorty-dual exhaust that comes with mufflers tapered in chrome and black heat shields in a laser cut design.
The valvetrain is a 2vpc pushrods system, and there is dry-sump lubrication. The engine gets paired with a 5-speed transmission and chain drivetrain with a belt final drive.
Performance Specs
The 2020 Harley-Davidson Roadster is just as capable on the back roads as it is on city roads and highways. You can truly take this bike anywhere in the Fort Pierce area! This motorcycle has plenty of power, and it is SAE J1349 Certified via an engine torque test. The Roadster gets 67 hp and 76 lb-ft of torque at 3750 rpm. The Roadster has a right lean angle of 30.8 and a left lean angle of 31.1. The EPA estimates that this engine will get you a combined 48 mpg, which is a decent enough fuel economy for a Sportster.
How It Compares
How does the Roadster compare to some of its top rivals? We'd like to think that it blows them right out of the water. In some ways, it is a lot like the Iron 1200 and the Forty-Eight. After all, they are all Harley-Davidson models. They all utilize a 1200 CC V-twin engine, but the Roadster gets more low-end torque (the Iron 1200 gets 73 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm while the Forty-Eight gets 70.8 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm).
The Roadster focuses more on having a unique style that is backed by its powerful engine. The riding style is infinitely more aggressive than what you get on a lot of other Sportsters, and the design echoes that sentiment. The blacked-out styling is undoubtedly cool, but it might be a bit off-putting at first glance since this isn't something you will see on a lot of Sportsters.
The riding position is also way more aggressive due to how the handlebars are placed. When you need to check how your Roadster is performing, just look down at the gauge; it includes a tach and a speedometer so that you can know how your power plant is performing. You might find yourself looking down and being amazed at how much power and low-end torque your ride is generating.
Same Design, Different Riding Style
The Roadster is part of the Sportster line-up that has remained essentially the same engine design since 1986. Harley-Davidson's philosophy is that if it ain't broken, don't fix it. And there is nothing broken about this engine design. Year after year, the renowned V-twin engine has given a solid driving performance. The biggest change happened when Harley-Davidson needed to comply with emissions standards and switched over to fuel injection on all of its engines. However, the 45-degree V-Twin air-cooled engine configuration has basically remained the same from the get-go.
What has changed is the body style. It is more aerodynamic than ever, which helps get the bike up to speed along with the lightweight design of the engine components. The mill grade has that 10:01 compression ratio, so while it isn't a hot runner, it is mid-grade for sure. The low-end torque you get makes for some snappy acceleration and powerful holeshots. Top speed gets to about 100 mph, so while this ride isn't a super-fast one, it can at least get there quickly. That is something you are going to want for highway driving.
