My Goodness! That Sportster is set up JUST RIGHT! Bars, V-H 2-in-1 exhaust, mirrors flipped, and the paint job are an awesome combo. I love the AMF paint scheme, especially! THIS is the cleanest newer model 1200 I've seen! 👍🏽
After years of riding a ZZR1200, following two divorces and selling my last Harley in 2000, I understand what you said about the feeling when you got back on "your" bike, the Sportster.
I recently bought an Electra Glide Ultra Classic and I'm in the zone myself now. Its like a new girlfriend, I can't seem to get off of her.
Just followed one out in the interstate about an hour ago, that bike looks GREAT out on the road. Same color scheme.
Great bike, just had a eureka moment. For years I've always overlooked HD's but now I get it, I want one.
Had a look earlier, absolutely stunning bike, can’t wait till mine arrives.
BJA it’s an awesome sporty.
Love the Iron 1200, wanting to get one myself. Also love the bars, great bike.
I’m late to the game and across the pond but I LOVE my 883! Ride safe
Hey Motonewb. Where have you been man? 3 years since your last upload? If it makes a difference I wanted to tell you I love your channel and your unique reviews with no doubt sticks out to me as a great RUclips channel. Keep rocking man! Hope to see you again soon!
Very nice bike, looks and sounds great, i suppose this is a good example of harley saying they listen to their customers, because this is a look alot of us have been doing ourselves, including 883 /1200 upgrades, will definatly benefit from a full stage one, the FP3 is moor end user focused with blue tooth to phone ect.
When you told me about the bars I was kinda “eh.” Now that I’ve seen them, I’m a believer. Good choice! Thanks for the shout out! Also, do you want any kids? I have extras...
John Maxwell lol my wife say I’m enough of a handful 👍
I'm wanting to put window bars on my 72 so bad
I love The Iron 1200 but the issue I had when I sat on one was the foot controls. Per your vlog they moved them forward for you which is great. Having the knowledge that the foot controls can be moved forward I may have to take a second look at the bike. Keep up the great vlogs and congrats on the new bike.
Clint Young moved forwards, as in no new parts needed?
You just need to buy the forward controls kit 👍
I like it! The mods you made really make that iron stand out!
Yay more sportster sickness! Missed all that BRAP BRAP BRAP from 80+ sportsters riding through England
The bike looks awesome with the new bars! Looking forward to your new adventures on the Sporty!
Tattooed Alex cheers mate 👍
Really Beautiful bike!!!!
Beautiful bike! Looking to get one of these bad boys myself. Love how you installed forward controls! Any idea how much they cost to install!? Need the forward controls installed once I get the sportster 1200.
Happy with it? Love the sportster 1200 but hate the standard bar, in case I purchase, ill change those.
What a great video. !! So much American influence. Your Bike is beautiful. Tasteful and functional. So smart. I also like the way Harley went with the new "48" Special. I'd love to have one. Keep the kick ass videos coming to me in southern California. 🤘🏻
Richard Enstad thanks fella hope alls well with you in the states.
Happy Father's Day!
Very nice bike
It's all about what makes you happy in the end is all that really matters. I can tell you're a sportster fan and why would you not be"
Ron Wissinger exactly!
Nice looking build....you did gooood :) Enjoy and I'm looking forward to more vids on this one.
PaiN's RIdes thanks man
I'm from the US and it always freaks me out when people drive on the other side lol
congradulations, mate! enjoy the bike.
Nice!! You’re a legend. Looking forward to getting my 48 from Shaw’s. Thanks for all the advice and vlogs. 👊🏼
Gav Hanmer cheers fella appreciate the support
Those window bars are sick man awesome!
Yeah the stock bars on mine had to go I went with the Biltwell Frisco bars I modified my exhaust did a tank lift and put in a daymaker I’m looking for some spoke wheels to give it a better look then the black mag wheels
Damn, I'm sold on the bassani mega power 2-1 but the one you have on this bike is giving me second thoughts... Only issue is I like longer strait looking pipes. This one aestheticly isnt working for me but that is a great sound.
Love it! Looks awesome, just a few new pcs. Changed the whole look & im sure the feel of the bike. I'm gonna check out the Biltwells for my own Sportster. Looking forward to seeing what else you do with it!
Jim Mansi that’s the beauty of it and any other harley - as you
mention changing the bars can change the look and control/comfort of the bike.
Love your bike. I have a 2010 XL 1200 C - I really like those bars. Im gonna check them out.
I want to keep my street bob but love the 48 special would love to be able to afford to have the two .the sportster I had years ago was such fun and handled better .in my opinion.congrats on your bike Mark amazing .cheers
Congrats with your new bike! Looks great!
Awesome bike i love mine....running stock atm with forward controls (need forward controls) also went with the z bars and bassani radial sweepers which are on back order also so il try and do my first video so i can share it with you guys cheers
I got one as well but mine isn't as sick looking as yours sir. I had to change out the factory handle bars, and after seeing your handle bars now I want that same look on mine congrats and again awesome looking ride.
Very cool shoutout to Maxwell!
A nice review, the forward pegs do seem to give you more room, a nice looking bike.Your impression of Matt Laidlaw was spot on lol.
Geoffrey Page lol. The pegs are much better in the forward position.
Very good bike, they did well making the iron 1200, you are the best in reviewing bikes, but still disagree with regarding the handle bars, i believe the mini ape is more suitable for this bike in particular than the drag bar, good choice with the forward control but have a question why not to try the forward mid controls if you know what i mean, they can be positioned in between the forward and the mid
Mohd explosive forward controls are the best option for me fella.
2:44 Love that paint job 👍
(Also nice bike)
Great video! I'm exited to seem all the future mods on this beauty! Keep up the good work.
Dark Of Light thanks for the support 👍
Nice bike. After 45 years of riding various British, Japanese, Italian and German bikes I'm thinking of coming in to the Harley fold. Looking at a 2000 Sportster 1200S? Any ideas or would a Dyna be better? Quite like the idea of a smaller lighter bike. Cheers.
Bud, I'm about to get a similar build done . Same exhaust and similar bars. Watching this got me so hyped up. I'm subbing lol
Pete Foggia which exact exhaust is this?
V&H competition series 2-1 . Thats the brushed steel ( aka Sexy Beast) variant
I’ve had this bike for about 2 months now twisted cherry with v&H big radius pipes and high flow air intake with FP3 installed but bike is very underpowered I think this was my first Harley and I think it will be my last . There beautiful bikes but for the price I think I’ll stick to metrics.
Abel Vasquez would never recommend a Sportster to anyone. Always start with one of the old Dyna’s or now the new Softails. The sportsters and half decent bikes for the short term but nothing long term.
Abbas Dar I think the sportster is part of the journey on the HD range - the UK has over 6,000 active sportster riders, some of which have moved to v-twins and gone back to a sporty. However it’s all personal preference.
Motonewbrider definitely personal preference. My riding instruction told me to buy a bike that I’ll grow into rather one that I’ll grow out of... I grew out of my Sporty within the first 6 months of riding. Personally preference would 100%!
Abbas Dar my instructor told me not to buy a harley 😂😂😂
Motonewbrider
Sounds like you both had bad instructors, lol,
Sportsters look good sound good and run circuls round efatlumps.
i'm just as enthusiastic about my 48 as the day i bought it a few years ago, i think they are very much an enthusiasts brand, and moor a case of the bike growing into me , with all the time and changes made "" i know would fund a second hand hyper sports bike"" having owned them as well.
An easily tameable bike doesnt mean not fast or powerful.
No disrespect to Abbas Dar and Abel Vasques but in the UK there are a lot of sports bike riders have imagined themselves a centre lane no rules race track.
As for second hand old "straight" dyna compared to new and tuned sportster, ""debatable""
Old dyna motor or new M8 motor and overlooking the sportster motors ""why?
Happy Father’s Day Mate awsome review
Really liked what you did with the bike, looks so much better with those bars! Are those the 10" or 12" ?? The V&h comp exhaust looks and sounds awesome too by the way!
Bars are actually 9 inches
Conrats on the new bike, I have the same exhaust; in a world of short shots it stands out and it produces noticeably more power. Just a question, why did you go with the Iron? You’ve changed the bars and put forwards on, the 48 has a better front end.
JasonS550 _ I did a poll on my RUclips and Instagram channel - everyone wanted me to get the iron 1200. I’ve had a 48 before and on this occasion I wanted a skinnier look.
That’s an awesome bike
You change your bikes more often than I change my underdrawers.
That looks nice m8. I'm feeling the bars.
Hit me up if you’re looking at moving the Shaw fuel cap on 😉
martyn cockerill lol
Picked up my iron 1200 last friday. I like the stock bars and mids. Surely that clutch cable should be re routed so it doesn't restrict the view of the speedo ?
funguseater40 I’m going to move it for the next run. Remember comfort and likes/dislikes are all personal preference 👍
Motonewbrider Of course, it's always down to that. Great thing about sportsters is availability of custom parts. Look forward to seeing more, and that cable sorted !
Motonewbrider
If you remove the blank plate in the little fairing the cable will just spring back clear.
Awsome review! Love this bike!
Don't dis my boy Matt!!! 😂so we both got new bikes. I'm so old as u know I owned an original AMF Sportster. Njoy my friend. You should thank your wife!!! I need to keep mine hidden!
I would let her come out from hiding once in a while after all she is your wife ; )
That exhaust would look great on the roadster.
Sick bike man!
Lol the Laidlaw impression !
Awesome video as always and love the new bike. I'm in the market for a new bike as well and really looking at the regular 48 with the stock handle bars. If u don't mind me asking what made u go with the iron compared to the 48? And how do u like that exhaust? I was thinking of the the short shots but I remember u had both, witch ones do u prefer between the short shots and the competition ones?
Very radical bartop, cockpit area.That clutch cable over the tacho /speedo would drive me nuts. I'm 5'8 so I would definitely go for mids. Any particular you went for the Iron over a Roadster?
do like the new bars.
David Newman me too
going to get down there one day,although not my nearest....
Congrats on the new bike dude! Funny I was thinking about getting the new Iron 1200 but the one thing about it was the mid controls. How are you finding the new forwards?
Daniel Michael personally I prefer forwards on the sportster model. I get a more comfortable ride.
Hope she likes her sportster.
Man, nice looking bike, love HD's but I know as soon as I get one my biker mates will disown me! Haha! Still will though, ha!
They will probably end up buying one as well :)
Bro this window style is 9.4 or 10 please answer me ??? 🙏🏽🙏🏽💚 very nice bike
Mate I like the bars more than I should I think. Very nice. Will the bike be purely bolt ons this time round?
Al Crabby yeah no chopping of stuff. Not needed this time round.
To be honest I am also confused. You had a 48 then when to to a Dyna and now back to a Sporter. I have just upgraded from a 48 to a 2018 softail slim (not got the bike yet)
Petrolhead I mentioned my brand ambassador role in a few vlogs back, that explains everything.
Having viewed most of your blogs, typically that was the one I missed and an important one for you. I am registered with the Sickness Facebook page and very much enjoy the banter
Hey mate really enjoy watching your videos!! From a fellow iron 1200 owner, just had a question, when you changed your handle bars did you have to get new cables or did the standard ones just bolt onto the new bar??
I like Your new ride. What gloves are You using.
norgrin biltwell
Man I'm very jealous! Love the looks of the bike! How's the handling compared to the low rider?
Jonathan Kennedy the sporties feels lighter and more nimble, however both are different bikes. The FXDLS is a beast for power output.
Does the 1200 vibrate a lot? I know it will have some of course but is it annoying down at low speeds or high?
Thanks
Nice ride - sweet touch with the new bars...so, you have two rides in your arsenal now?..
Hoss Suleyman just the one - the sportster is a great addition to my current riding mileage and style.
Motonewbrider you da daddy....ride easy.
I’m 6’2” and have 16” ape hangers on my 48. They are pretty comfortable and are just barely above shoulder. Looking to possibly switch to these bars with a 1/4 fairing on the front to make it more of a club style bike. How tall are you and in your opinion how would these bars be for a 6’2” guy that prefers to be nearly straight out from shoulders?
How does it feel with T bar? What benefits does it have etc?
What kind of bars are those T bars I see but what’s the specs? 10” inch ???
what v and h Aiintake were you after that was unavailable? Thanks for the awesome vlogs!!
I like your videos man i know this is old and it maybe the Colorado talking, but you are what Stewie Griffin would dound like in his 20s.
Very nice
Hi Motonewbrider,
I also bought a 2018 Iron 1200 and I was wondering why you can lean that far in the corners? Certainly with forward controls I thought the ground clearance was not so good? Mine will be delivered next week with V&H short shots but I’m a bit worried the lean angle will be not as good as yours?
Nice bike, nice sound! The engine really seems happy to rev with this exhaust.
A question: are you riding a 1200 Roadster on the way to the dealer? What do you think of it?
vincent beijing yeah I like the roadster you can whip it around really easily.
So doesn’t a stock iron 1200 come with mid controls? But you had them put forward controls on?
Did you run the wiring through the bars? How much of a hassle was that if so? Also are those stock clutch / throttle / brake cables?
Looks sick!! Great choice in bars...So you shifted the 117 Low Rides S???
StreetBobberVlogger did you ever find out what happened to his LRS?
T bars are fucking fire
How's the comfort level with these bars? I'm looking to get these but I'm gonna be doing some longer rides and want to make sure I'm comfortable.
So, just to clarify, you had a Roadster and traded it for an Iron, or of course kept the Roadster as well ? I'm considering the 1200 Iron or Roadster so am interested in your thoughts on both. I know they're a slight variation with the Roadster being more sporty.
Do you have some upgrades on your bike? Some like STAGE I od II? Thanks
Is that a V&H competition series exhaust!?
Thomas Mears yes 👍
It looks great!! Is this the free bike for being a representative?
Harley Dave yup mate 👍.
A New Follower from Italy!
Funny handlebars
What handle bars are those? I like them
which harley would you recommend for someone new? i am 5"4
2 years later, Sportster 1200.
Oh and PS LaidLaw impression was funny and on point in my opinion lol
What about breaking the engine in?
dean burditt lol I opened it up a couple of times, I had to for the vlog! My next run will be calmer on the throttle.
BTW did I miss something, since when is your bike red?
What bars are they butt? They’re fucking lush
How much did the customization cost?
How many sportsters do you have?!?
No 02 sensors?
zippy ziphead otherwise of the pipe, this always confuses everyone as it’s not obvious.
What are the exhaust pipes?
I am so confused as to why you would even want to ride a sporty after feeling the beast of the low rirder s 117.
GamerDann I was going to write the same thing until I saw this. We’re all so curious as to why would one downgrade and please be honest bud, was it affordability or was it just being part of the Sportster sickness group again?
Hi fella, think you may of missed one of my vlogs a month back. I explain that I’m now a ambassador for Shaw’s so I had the opportunity to have a bike from them. On top of this I have no need for two bikes. Nothing to do with affordability - more to do with opportunity with Shaw’s and riding more with SSUK. Hope that makes sense 👍
to be honest that makes sense, nothing will beat that 117 roar though!
Motonewbrider appreciate the response bud. Enjoy the Iron 1200! 👊🏻
GamerDann 100 percent agree
Did you sell the Dyna???
Ti e piaciuta iron 1200?
