- Something different, riding a Harley for the first time. Would you buy one? Squid life is normal but not in this episode, chill life. Think this would make an epic town bike though. Bike provided by:

Just bought an iron and love it 💯 I'm 5''7 , for me it fits perfectly .
Still have the bike ?
I’m 5’9
And just curious if it was to small
@@ceec6923 I'm taller and it fits great! I even have the dragbar without any discomfort... But do choose the forward controls! The mid controls tend to be in the way when you stop and put your foot on the ground and your legs are more bent. Get ready to scrape those pegs real hard, I have taken an inch off of them already...

I just bought a sporty 48
I’m 5’9 and put mids on it with a crash bar
I love it
I'm 6'3 , would I face any issue on this one?
@@andreasjondesouza7067 I would suggest forward controls to have a nice legs position, they won't be streched like you see a lot of shorter people are. Other than that, I am two inches shorter than you and I am just fine. You should go to a Harley dealer, they gladly let you try out their bikes, that's how I chose mine...
The tank is ridiculous.
I was getting 45 miles on it.
Had to change it for a nightster tank.
The constant shaking done my neck n back no good at all.
After market goods are the price of a kidney or 2.
Sold mine within one season.
Rode it across 3 countries.
Now i have a bmw r9t....fookin luv it.
Looking at getting one of these. Was concerned about power as coming over from sport bikes. Think you absolutely hit nail on the head with the customisation comments. I love the fact I can do whatever I wonna do it to make it look individual. 😃
Top vid 😉
Definitely agree that this is one of the best looking Harley's on offer
It would be the one I'd pick with a bit of customizing 😉 sounds like you have some fantastic dealers out there that appreciate thier customers 👍
I'm not the Harley type, I've ridden sportbikes, and now naked bikes, since the 90's. But I was in a shop yesterday getting a title notarized and they had a Forty Eight with some kind of retro glitter paint. The instant my eyes hit it I fell in love and I just wanted to hop on and ride away. Very cool bike. Appeared much smaller than I was expecting. Seems like a bike really fun to sling around.
I love my 2014 Forty-Eight. I am 5'9" 150lb. The bike fits me perfectly. Few gripes though, the peanut tank is way too small. After 48 miles, the fuel light will come on. Would have been nice to get 6 gears instead of 5 as the bike does vibrate quite a bit. For fuel consumption, I am averaging only around 36 mpg.
My 2018 Sportster 48 fuel light went on at about 45 miles also. One rider claimed about 80-90 miles per tankful, but I'm skeptical about that number, so far, the mileage has been less than that. I'm just under 5'9'' and the bike fits me fine, too. Just would like a little more upright riding position instead of leaning forward, I don't know why Harley doesn't make handlebars that pull back like on the Indian Scout and Kawasaki Vulcan S. Overall, I love my Sportster 48 though. This video review is well-done and accurate.
OMG, it's ridiculous. I can make on my Kawasaki z1000 around 200 miles on a full tank.
40 miles??? My 2015 48s light comes on after 80 miles. And I have a 2 inch tank lift and stage 1 upgrade. Somethings not right guys.
@@JamesRussle365 I'm looking to get a stage 1 for my '48, what brand exhaust & tuner would you recommend to get the bike running optimally?
@@69FOSTER I got the Vance and hines big radius two in two. Great deep muffled sound. Put a simple arlen ness air breather nothing fancy and a screaming eagle pro street tuner. Bike responds way better. I'm happy with it.
The 48 is like a Jeep Wrangler in a motorcycle version. I'm 5'7 and it fits me perfectly.
Yassel Alvarez you just made me completely happy about me purchasing this bike because I too have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler 😍
I owned a Wrangler for 10 years. You'd hope the 48 didn't have as much go wrong.
Shame you didn’t have some loud pipes on the 48 because the ride experience is a whole new ball game.
It's the sound that makes the nimble sportster.
You can change comfort levels with different seats and change performance with different stage tunes.
Its good bike, endless customs options.
I'd like you to do a 'keep it real' review of the 114 breakout and 114 Fat bob next. Good torque machines but heavier but I'll think you'll enjoy those rides aswell.
Harleys don't have to be loud to sound good. I really don't understand all the noise. Maybe it's like music, people want it loud, but it really doesn't have to be loud does it?
You can do a whole bunch of things to any cruiser. Harleys are not the only ones. I love Harleys and have a Vrod. But customizing can be done to any brand
I have a 2001 Sportster 1200 and a 300 Forza, both great bikes. Like your reviews. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your ride! If $ were no issue, I'd definitely have one for knocking around town and day-trips.
crj moto would be great for that no doubt
Its gas tank is too small to do anything but drive down your main road and back to the gas station. That being said it is a cool looking bike its just too small for me im 6'4"
I cringed when he pulled out I thought he was gonna get hit
In asian countries in general, traffic is much more responsive and fluid rather than everyone sticking to rules all the time. I rode across vietnam and you tend to have to do sketchy shit like pull out into traffic otherwise you never get anywhere, no one will let you out.
Is 190cm 1.5 or 2 bald eagles?
You should try the Sportster Roadster, you will love that bike.
Excuse me sir what is height?
動画クオリティ抜群！
カッコいい！
Init bro !
Annoying how you talk, but you know your onions with bikes 👍
Feet-forward is a non-starter for me. But I like torquey engines. How much is this in Thailand?
80 km before the fuel light comes on!!!!
I bet you would love to ride my Buell Ulysses.
Excellent review.
1990 thanks bro, it’s 689 baht in black.
If Ali G made bike reviews....restecp
Sam Knowles stick me Julie on da back innit
Bike wouldn't start

If it had the 3.3 gallon tank I'm sure they would sell a lot more.
Its the looks that sell the 48...the biggest (err smallest) part of that is the tank.....which is why the 48 exists, its to celebrate the 2.2 peanut that debuted in 1948. Without that tank, its just a fat tired iron. I've toured a bunch with my 2016 48 and in most cases the baggers are stopping to stretch before Im out of fuel anyway.
Love your videos. Subscribed!! I'm a farang living in Thailand myself. Just sold my bike. But it's so cool to cruise in Thailand. Only I live in bangsaen, and it's to much traffic here. Can I ask, how do make money here?
Many thanks man, very nice and useful review!
Awesome review, sir! The Forty-Eight is such an aesthetically pleasing bike because of the peanut tank but the peanut tank is the very reason that keeps me from buying one cause of its practicality haha. What’s the song you used for the intro? Really dug that tune
The only thing i dint like about it ... forward control .... you can not escape a pot hole
Why not? Steer around it.
I love my 48 special... it needs the vance and hines... no other harley has that sexy sound like the 48
Will you recommend this bike or a MT 09 it's going to be my second bike and I can't decide =(
Bro they couldn’t be more different I’m a MT09 guy all day everyday. If your not sure test ride then both 👍
@@motomanvlog yeah bro a friend of mine has that Harley and I like the looks of it but the mt 09 looks to be a more fun bike 🤔
For me no doubt. Depends what u want tho. Performance MT09 completely blows this away but for a town bike this would be better imho chilled out rather then going fast all the time. 09 tho ❤️
Get the MT09 - a bike worth the money.
I'm getting the mt next week bro's thanks for your opinions that helped me a lot
Harley: shakes
Moto Guzzi: "hold my beer"
Alan Chihuaha bmw r nine t?
Isn’t it an add on to make it keyless
Great review mate!
Greetings from Canada
🇨🇦✌️😎
is this a good bike for short people like 5 foot 5
Yes it is mate
I want to know how a Diavel stacks up compared to this. My experience with a HD Breakout had me feeling the same way. Tired back and unimpressed by the performance. Nice around-town bike.
Check out my Diavel x first ride mate, a complete beast!
You get me
You must be a huge man. I'm a big guy and I don't look near as large on a sportster as you do.
1200cc aircooled?
You underestimate the power of a 1200 motor. Twist the throttle too much on a turn and It will throw you. Hindsight is 2020 with those stock Honda sounding exhaust pipes. Slap on some Vance & Hines short shots, I guarantee the sound alone will have you thinking this thing is a beast!
What was that intro song
"it's my first time riding a harley" i can tell by those gloves you have on. Lmao
coming from an american im surprised to see you riding this, its a failing brand for sure. great video though man keep it up! miss the crf trail days brov!
Failing brand?
@@mr.b3168 without a doubt.
@@mr.b3168 Yeah they've been "failing" since the 50's....apparently
@@Mr_Ghoul lol failing brand my ass
“Hawlie” lol good vid man
I'm 6'2 is the bike too small for me?
You are the same height as me pretty much bro, I would say yes
@@motomanvlog you think breakout or street bob would do us justice then? 😂 thanks for the reply
@@Braapstar219 haven’t tried those models mate, only this the sportster s and pan America. Try getting a test if u can bro
"The left indicator is on the left and right indicator is on the right". Yeah thanks for that info 😂
What's the intro song?
I’m 5’6 would you recommend this
Yes
Man it sounds like ur feeling all the bumps on the road
I was
@@motomanvlog would u say that’s a bad quality?
@@BCK2BCK No mate I think the quality is good but the suspension doesnt have much travel and the position was horrible for me. I think I took this bike for too long a ride mate. Better for just around town, legs and hands forward makes your spine ache
Thanks great clip!
Cheers mate
Thanks
Great looking bike.
Someday my dream Harley David bike ranie from Philippines dream dream dream dream bike thank you
Stuck trying to side whether I want this bike or the Yamaha r6. Yeah the r6 is faster but this bike just looks so bad ass 😭😭
Man this opening song is rad lol
I wish one day I will ride HD-48 around north of Thailand . Haha so boring traffiic jam at bkk มากๆครับ 😅😅😅
What the heck is a man as tall as you riding the sportster ? Of course it won’t be comfortable for you. Try the road king. Completely different bike and more suited for you.
its a nice bike for sure but if i was going to choose a harley id probably go for a blacked out FatBob those thing just look pure Evil :P
How tall are you?? I'm 6'2
Almost 6’3 mate so same as you really
Those tires will hold if you arent scraping the pegs you arent leaning far enough
Who can tell me the name of intro song? Help me😁😁😁
Vũ Phước Nguyễn darude sand storm I think
How tall is this guy?
197 cm
190cm mate
I was about to ask how tall are you cause the big looks tiny 😅 190cm, ok that’s tall. I can’t imagine your riding a Dax 😂
Admit it. Youre really digging for good things to say about this bike. Cant turn, cant brake, back hurts, tires suck, but theres the accessories!
The brand has cachet, unfortunately it also has a high price tag. Which trumps the market demographic wallet. Cachet is only a 'coolness factor' for a short time. Buyers will move on and then the cachet is gone.
Cost way too much for what it is. you have to pay a lot more just to make it look/sound better. you pay for the name.
they might be expensive, but if you look at all the details they are just perfect. I have one for a year now. its the only motorcycle that makes my heart beat faster
It's 12gs lol!.... that's not expensive for a Harley!!! And plz look up the value a Harley holds... That's one reason they cost so much!
Are you South African?
Nope
I was wondering coz some of the words you say sound very South African, most of the time it’s like northern uk
Mate your voice sounds familiar where have me met in England I wonder 🤔
I have one for sale I’m in Rhode Island it’s a 2015 amber whisky
Great review and video!
Harley has yet to make a bike that wows me in price, performance and standard equipment for said price. This doesn’t cut it either.
$11,300 brand new...
$800.00 more for ABS...plus labor.....
Is this a joke?
Who’s buying this shit?
You’re better off buying anything else..get an Indian scout bobber, street triple , Z900RS , MT09...take your pick...
yes an Indian .
Didn’t think this was a keyless bike.
Que da cinemas! 😂 love it
Wear any leather jackets or Levi’s jeans in particular with your motorcycle??
Samantha Barton 🙄
Why do you make the bike look like a pocket bike? Lol How tall are you?
Lol I’m 6’3 mate
Motoman probably why lol
nice review!
Bog Roast cheers mate
Nice motor 👍🏻
Very nice looking bike but physically WAY too small for you !
Horrible move pulling out...that kinda stuff will get you killed. Dont know what country youre in but in the u.s......cars have right of way to change lanes over vehicles pulling into them....if one of those drivers would have changed to the lane you pulled into you wouldnt be here my friend...be safe and smart.
Love my 48! Fuck what ya heard!
Unfortunately only a five speed and unstable at highway speeds
Dont know about the 48, but i drove my 883r thru Denmark and Germany last summer. Mostly on the autobahn, very slow yes but not unstable..
@@olanisen
When driving on the motorway, or for me tthe Parkway the wind from passing cars and oncoming traffic would just blow me all over the place. I love the look and the style but was always more enjoyable around town for me
Plenty of us riding these on the highways everyday, if you find it unstable somethings amiss with the bike or the riders skills.
@@dingguscon235
Sure if you say so
@@599Dan photos.app.goo.gl/X3HzhGk1c9YuBoPH8 This trip ended up at 3300 miles non-stop, no sleep, 45hrs coast to coast and zero stability issues bone stock sportster 48.
รถสวยมากครับ🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
ขอบคุณที่ดูวีดีโอครับ 😁
The 48 is too small for you
true
You sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger
I am 5”3 and I think I can ride a 48
I'm 6 feet. And I think I can.
Sounds like a well spoken roadman😂😂 no offence.
It looks like a minibike/babybike.
Sounds like he say Harli xD
Are u Sou th african
Beckham
Why are you talking with a fake Jamaica accent
😂 Ali G?
F#@k how iconic the idiotic peanut tank is it looks shit, and it holds jackshit. Neither recommends it. I'f I bought a Forty Eight, I'd straight away turf that crummy peanut tank for a different tank which I actually liked. A tank that looked good on me Forty Eight and carried a useful amount of fuel.
Sorry if it comes off a little harsh, got to reach into the soul and its a tough dig.
Then it wouldn't be a 48. The bike is literally named after the 1948 Harley with the peanut tank. Buy something else if you don't like it lol
Wrong side of the road man watch out!!!!! Jk
6:32 !! Holy ^%$^$ !!! Damn stupid dogs.
This blokes voice does not suit his face
Sounds like Mr. Bean
6:34 :)
So Tim Westwood moved to Thailand, dyed his hair blonde and started reviewing bikes? Wow, good for him.
At last, that stupid wannabe gangster voice is disappearing.
Thalland cnxhahaha
Why is he talking like a black from Londonistan innit?
Trashhhhhhhhh
