There was 8368 2005 Harley-Davidson Sportster's made. The 2005 model year was one of the best years for the Harley-Davidson Corporation.
In 1999, Harley-Davidson produced approximately 8,000 units of the 1200 Sportster model. The Sportster line was popular during this time, contributing to Harley-Davidson's strong sales. Exact production numbers can vary slightly based on different sources, but this figure gives a general idea of production for that year.
