Harley-Davidson has announced a new addition to its 2006 Sportster line with the release of the XL Sportster 1200L. We already reported our first impressions of H-D's 2006 lineup when Duke jetted out to Denver and attended the new-model press launch. One of the most notable changes was the makeover of the Dyna Glide models, but we also mentioned that the Sportsters (which received a wholesale makeover in '05) received a few changes of their own, which included an improved transmission and clutch. The 1200L joins its siblings in the Sportster lineup, incorporating all of those aforementioned improvements along with a lower seat height and handlebar grips that have been pulled back one inch closer to the rider."
