The XL1200R Roadster was the sportier take on the Sportster 1200, with a 19-inch front wheel and twin front discs. For 2007 the whole Sportster range switched from a carburettor to sequential port fuel injection, and the Roadster also gained revised instruments and lighter clutch and brake lever effort.
