The original Harley-Davidson XL Sportster was introduced in 1957 in an effort to stem the growing tide of British bikes that offered lighter weight and better handling than what HD was building at the time. These British machines offered a challenge to the American company on both road and track, with fierce rivalries being born as Harley, Triumph, Norton and BSA all competed on dirt tracks across North America. The XLCH model was introduced in 1958 as a dirt bike and by 1959, added head and taillights to make it street legal. The “CH” stood for “Competition Hot” as the CH model sported high pipe exhaust, magneto ignition and the now familiar Sportster-style “Peanut” tank that has become one of the bike’s calling cards.
