Also, Harley has a website. You can look up and compare the bikes there too.

I'm just a simple islander boy we surf all day and lay on the beach most of the time.

I always thought the 1200B (Black) was the fastest.

The engines may have different finishes, such as plain or black cases, polished or chrome covers etc. Best to study the Harley website closely if you are looking at new or recent!
