No, an FXR is not a Sportster. FXR and Sportster are both motorcycle models produced by Harley-Davidson, but they belong to different product lines and have distinct characteristics.
The FXR, which was produced from 1982 to 1994, is part of Harley-Davidson's Big Twin lineup. It featured a rubber-mounted engine and a frame that provided improved handling and stability compared to other models of that era. The FXR models were designed for cruising and touring, offering a balance of comfort and performance.
On the other hand, the Sportster is a separate model line within Harley-Davidson's range. It is characterized by a smaller frame and engine compared to the Big Twin models. The Sportster has a more compact design and is often considered a lighter and more agile motorcycle. It has been a popular choice for riders looking for a nimble and responsive motorcycle, particularly for urban riding and shorter trips.
So, while both the FXR and Sportster are Harley-Davidson motorcycles, they belong to different model lines with distinct features and purposes.
