Driven it before. Nice bike. My only complain is that the handles are too low. Might be uncomfortable on long distances. Air resistance is quite high as well.
Check out my review . I plan to fit the quick shifter some risers drag bars and swap out the standard exhaust .. Also swap out the rear shock and spring . Cheers Billy
Like you said "SPORT-STER" why do they keep choking the model out on hp? There's a huge market of aging sportbike riders (myself incuded) that want to wean themselves off the jockey riding position but still want the hp. The case can clearly handle 150hp because they're doing it with the Pan America. Paying an extra $1500-$7000 for the stage kits on a new bike is dumb imo and you still come up short in hp for the group they're targeting. It's a beautiful bike and I'd buy one immediately if it left the showroom with the power I expect.
I was told it was for weight to HP ratio but there's only 40lb difference between them I might've got one, but that forever reveal made me lose all interest......I doubt I could have more fun on SS than my vrod
The idea behind the fat tires is to keep the bike more stable and give you a smoother ride at heigher speeds. Not sure what you're complaining about on the suspension.
Only on older models. My 2023 has leather covering everything underneath the seat. Wiring looks different, too. I've had the 2021 model which kept playing up and the engine light was always illuminated. 2023 just seems better.
The vance and hines big Radius on my hd fatboy shakes houses lol Can't wait for spring to ride I like to test ride different ones I want to test ride a sportster next time
Not much effort cosmetically on the left side of the bike, too much cheap looking plastic tubes, radiator etc. Hardly any suspension travel, single disc on a performance bike not a good idea. Seems a slightly rushed out model.
Yeah like take the whole highway ride behind the tractor trailer that held you up on the entrance ramp. Really got to see that down tuned motor perform.
They kicked out Night Rood and Muscle promoting new garbage. I’ve always been for Harley but since they stopped with Night Rod I’ve switched to other manufacturers.

Just picked-up mine, but fyi, it does NOT come with standard heated grips, although the button is there for it.
Its such a beautiful bike i love mine it has just over 500 miles and its been amazing so far i cant wait til they put out more parts for it !!
Bro yes, they definitely need more parts and availability for the parts they do offer
What is the actual real world mpg on it? Is it like the claimed 34mpg or better?
*belly pan. Not a skid plate. Traditionally used to catch oil while on race tracks. Probably a necessary feature on a Harley.

I thought you sold your PAS? or did you record this vid before then?
fugly and what is with the fat front tire and 1 inch suspension?

@@tinman3586 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣uuuuum. 1" of travel? Much rather have suspension travel than bouncing ugly tires.
When a cheetah runs by an armadillo the cheetah doesn't give a fat rats backside what that armadillo thinks
@@johnengland8619 too bad a harley cant outrun an armadillo let alone a cheetah
@@tinman3586 1" suspension? gad get into the 70's at least.
Nice review.... Can't wait to see the review on the new one!
Good first attempt by Harley but I'm glad I opted for the Fat Bob.
I love mine but the staples in the front of the seat digs into the tank and chips the paint
I got a tank protector decal and taped up the staples. Problem solved.

It doesnt want to wheelie...but it wants to wheelie 🥳
Turn off traction control. You will wheelie.

Right on!
It doesn’t come with heated grips you have to add them
It does NOT come with heated grips!! Believe me. They don't tell you that until you get it home...
Is there anyway to have 2 persons on this bike? (Serious question)
I dont think so
Yesss but the pillion seat set comes at a hefty price tagggg and its not that comfortable for the pillion
not true, does. Not come with heated grips, it has the button to install heated grips, sold seperatly
Will this bike be okay for me 6ft 270
Might be a touch too small
Was interested in this bike but after viewing it I opted for the current Fat Bob👍
You said you would compare this to the street Bob...... Don't you mean the fat Bob?

Agreed
it weighs mnore than 503
That dealership needs to stretch out there test ride...blink your eyes and you are back...Damn.
I know…I asked and he shut me down.

That's one ugly ass bike. Buy a scout. It's better
Sounds like a Honda VT600. At least you got to follow a Real Harley.
Sounds like a scooter
