Dubbed the FXS, it was the first of Harley's "factory customs" that would later include the Bad Boy, Road King, Fat Boy and the epic Heritage Springer.

War was hell, now it was time to cut loose, have fun and be cool. Big stodgy bikes were definitely not cool.

Anyone who looks at a Heritage knows this is classic styling. Even if they never saw an original 1950's motorcycle, they know this is what one looked like.

But if you're worried that your Electra Glide might come up short when compared to The King, fear not - for this bike is much more than just an Elvis impersonator.

Harley Sportsters have been with us for many years now, and with the 1996 1200S Sport edition you could say they've come full circle.
