Original, Vintage Magazine advertisement

Condition: Good
The 1968 Sportster. All alone at the top. 900 cc. Over 58 horses. Plus-
engineered to surpass every performance standard. And this bike will not
only go fast, it will stay fast long after the fad cycles have faded. In 1968,
we’ve moved the speedometer up to 150 mph. We had to. We’ve also com-
pletely redesigned the front suspension system. We wanted to. There’s a
lot of care built into this bike. And it shows. Available as you see it here
(Sportster XLCH) or in another version (Sportster XLH) with electric
starting. See them both at your Harley-Davidson dealer. Get acquainted
with number one. And remember, nobody builds a faster stock motor-
cycle. The Harley-Davidson Motor Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201.
Here’s the Sportster's
reason-why — 900 cc’s
of explosive V-Twin action
on a cycle that weighs
only 452 lbs. Quick,
confident, and the only
one of its kind.
We had to open up the
speedometer or slow down
the bike — guess what
we did? And while we were
at it, we gave the
instrumentation a smart
new look.
The damping and
springing in the front
forks have been
completely re-designed
for more stability and
improved control. Tight
corners or straights,
pavement or pastureland,
this one goes where
you aim it.
Zap — you’re started on
the electric-starting XLH.
Just push a button. Any
weather, every time. So
sure and so fast, we left
the kick pedal on the
factory floor. You won’t
need it. Not even for kicks.
