You know you have good content when I am re-watching a review for a bike I care absolutely nothing about...
Same lol😅
Me too! Haha
literally me right now.
Same.
My same thoughts 💭
what was the ice cream budget on this shoot
Smaller than the cocktail budget...!
Probably free...ish
Stole it from his kid 🍼
@@iammaximus614 the ice cream or the booze?
Please start using question marks
It sucks that I have no friends that would appreciate this
Me too buddy. Finding people with similar interests is hard, even with internet.
I'll appreciate it with you
Well my friend calls me a hog for liking this. (Heavy Old Geezer)
Bruh same
Buy a Harley & it'll buy you friends to appreciate it 😂
Love the The Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy references and editing style
oh my god that frozen tattoo & arm slap
Joseph M. Gerace i read this as it happened and it made my day
Know who you are and you will always be cool. This guy knows who he is, lol
"Nope too scary", he really had me going
hahaha.. whoever hired you guys and let you run wild is a god damn genius.
Fortnine: "Praying Indian dont find it first"
Indian: "ftr 1200
The ftr1200 is not the answer. We wanted the ftr750. A light quick American sport bike. We got a cruiser with a different exhaust and tank
@@vicv071122 idk I bought one it's pretty badass. Definitely not a cruiser it corners amazing and pops the front wheel no problem. I would love to see an even more race oriented bike though (albeit not for me) I just want to see and American race bike again. Hopefully Indian will make the 750.
Indian has handed Harley a slap in the face & a middle finger in a big slice of market share kind of way....
Over price
@master DOGE OH GOD THE MODS. I think the ftr was just an excuse for indian to use the HD philosophy for once. But they should have made another cruiser to advertise to boomers. But they made a "sports bike" for the youth. but their challenger is amazing value though.
The amount of creativity, witty remarks, thought-out review detail, and the production value in all your videos. You're doing Canada proud, brother!
Nice comment, aye.
Also, sorry..
They get better and better with time. Discovered them quite recently and the content is awesome.
They do motorcycling proud.
That was filmed in Montreal....😜
"Hell, bring back the XR1200 if you'd have to"
Bless you Ryan!
XR750, XR1000 or XR1200 ,,,I would have all 3 if they were exactly the same as the early 1970s XR Harley's
"Make the lowrider S cheaper" - *CAN I GET AN AMEN*
Supernova12034 praise Gozer
Amen. ~RF9
AMEN
make all the dynas cheaper lol. hell im down for the fxd platform being replaced entirely by the older and better fxr. keep the models the same lowrider s, fat bob, street bob etc, just give it the fxr frame.
Outlaw Rides that would make it more expensive lol harley phased it out because of price on production and from consumer assessments that the beautiful v bend made it not nostalgic 😑. I'd like smack those people upside the head
I've never wondered what an Edgar Wright bike review would be like, but now I know, and I'm happy I do.
The frozen tattoo had me in tears of laughter. There is nothing that comes close to the quality and entertainment of the FortNine reviews. Brilliant stuff team.
Wow! Almost none of your viewers noticed the "the world's end" theme in the video. Loved all the effort you put it. Amazing.
Nice "tribute" to Edgar Wright
Blown away by your review style, beautiful shots, and fantastic editing and color grading. Fantastic job, subbed, will continue to follow.
Never thought you would be here but I’m pleasantly surprised you are
Yo wassup, how is harley in China? Can you do a video? Maybe on foreign motorcycle brands in China?
I've been seeing these for some time now, but only just realised that it was a Harley. I thought they were just cheap Chinese built generic street cruisers. They dont even sound like a proper V Twin.
2:48 she was checking you out dude
Knew Harley's should be good for something hahaha
@Pep K Amen
Pep K she want him to leave them nuts hanging outside.
@Pep K Isn't it past your bedtime little boy?
Pep K yo wtf grow up damn
Elsa tatoo killed me 🤣
"Onto the hipster bar!" >starts walking bike because it's a custom cafe racer now< lmaoooo
A LOT of thought has gone into making of a video that's just 10 min long...!
Very impressive...!
I thought it was because hipsters are concerned with pollution and global warming..🤔
those are hippies, two completely different things
German Zamora Good point
Totally didn't get that part... they say a joke isn't funny if you have to explain it, but in this case, untrue! Thanks!
The waddle 🤣 shots fired #burnsizzle
The information that blew me away the most was this guy is actually 6 foot 3 inches.
Awesome review guys. As a Gen Y dude myself, I was previously in the market for a cruiser and was looking at HD bikes. I test rode quite a few of them, but having been spoiled by the smooth, sporty metrics, I found myself wanting something... More refined. One day, my dad mentioned that Indian was having a demo day in town. Naturally, I went in search of some free rides just for fun BUT I found myself the proud owner of an Indian Scout a couple of hours later. I had never been so smitten with a bike. It was everything I needed. Now, I want Indian and HD to compete like the old days but with everything HD is putting out lately... Idk man. We may not see that.
This is a total masterclass in bike reviewing. And bloody funny. Kudos! P.s to those that were not sure which bike was being reviewed... sorry (not sorry) to judge, but am guessing maybe you didn't quite manage to concentrate enough through the whole 10 mins and 33 seconds to get it?
Or read the title?
Bla Bla Ha, Yep. Although that didn't play as well to my interwebz + 3 minute attention span narrative/rant ;)
but am guessing maybe you didn't quite manage to concentrate enough to read the title?
See? I fixed it.
You blew it by comparing 750 Harley with the rest of the Harley segment man they made that to be compared with other 750’s dude.
The motorcycle that literally no one asked for... makes you wonder how ridiculous of a place their marketing department really is.
Think they were trying for a buell?
shadetree surgeon ducati scrambler style Cafe racer lol
For all that time, I was trying to figure out the 'logic' behind HD Street Rod and now you've made it crystal clear...!
Buell...!!!
Yes, this bike is definitely following the footsteps of Buell Blast, albeit with a V-Twin and slightly better styling, which isn't saying much...
Anyhow, I'd still very much prefer The Ducati Scrambler or perhaps The Triumph Speed Twin over this HEAP... I absolutely love the growl of the air-cooled Desmo Twin on The Ducati while I love the quality and attention to detail of The Triumph...
And then there's always Moto Guzzi V7...
shadetree surgeon I think the marketing department is hoping to sell these to 1/4% of the population in India. That will be the 2 million units they're hoping for. And if China jumps on them too, well that's a bonus for The Motor Company. And the whole while here in Canada and the USA no one will give a hoot that it doesn't sell well here. My opinion only.
And yet i see more of these than i see Yamaha bolts.just because you don't want one doesn't mean no one wants one.
This was like watching a top gear episode on motorcycles. Well done.
"Definitely some kind of Triumph " that was just the greatest roast on Harley
Ps- I'm a Harley fan too but that was a good roast
Only PS that actually worked. 90+ likes and no comments disagreeing in 4 years.
3 years later...Indian Found It First.
This is like the (old) Top Gear (new Grand Tour) of motorcycles!
The creativity, edits & reviews are fantastic!
Liquid Pixels, couldn't agree more, my friend!
It's like Top Gear without boorish middle-aged twats. I highly approve :)
thats like the highest badge of honor
7:56 - Nope.. too scary... that scene was epic... what a sense of humour... nice video as always bro...
😵
how... do you guys only have 135k subs?
Sir Tristen he meant it as a compliment. With the quality of these videos they should have 500k subs easy.
408k now...
430K @@MrPAULONEAL
Hey @YankiMedia do you mean 433,000 subscriptions?
"1 year ago", 475k now, it's nice. 475k +1 since you reminded me to sub actually.
Yeah would you compare this to the Indian Scout Bobber, it's a no brainer. Scout all day....
Another example of Harley selling their name instead of a quality bike.
Only outside the US. I don't understand why but all the Harleys sold outside the US are made in India and have the same build quality of the bikes built in the US in the 70's and 80's when Harley was owned by AMF. In the US however The build quality is higher than every other company.
joshua holmes 🙄
Yep, only the name is keeping them alive.
@@joshuaholmes7929 they better start making these better, because people have started complaining about the heat and the foot peg position. Poor build.
Lone Wolf they’ll fix it o it’ll fail
For decades the Japanese were trying to make Harleys and did it fairly well, now Harley is trying to make a Virago/Shadow/Vulcan/Intruder and is pretty much failing.
Always the most entertaining and honest reviews on RUclips LOL well done Ryan!
Is really no one talking about the German soccer shirt???
That Elsa tattoo is on point!
Just subscribed too. These videos are like ice cream on a hot blistering day on the pavement.
One of your best edited videos! Had me laughing the whole time!
Yeah! Street Rod 750, Yamaha XRS700 and Kaw. Vulcan S comparison vid would be very interesting. Probably be an hour long, though. That's ok. If you can make that, we'd watch it!
OMG that leather vest scene!
That was funny. Thanks for the chuckle :-)
How about the Blue Oyster Bar. I just dated myself with that one but search for it on RUclips.
kalel33 We just might be the same age. XD
Beautiful
kalel33 everyone has seen police academy surely!
So the AMA gave special rules to Harley again and let Vance and Hines build a custom built dual cam heads and dual throttle body injectors fro the FGR-750 Harley .. they are gaining on Indian but you can buy a whole FTR-750 from Indian for $40,000 and go racing .. I doubt you could even buy the Vance and Hines Custom built motor from Vance and Hines for $35,000 ???
Loving all the Edgar Wright nods. Great review, as always.
itzjordaNN okay someone saw the same thing I though I was just crazy
Cornetto, 'Never taken a shortcut before?', and the pub crawl. That's all i noticed. what else is there?
The editing and the sound effects too
Gi Chan there's a very particular edit style Edgar did that shows up I. This video
Ah, the quick cuts!
I have ridden motorcycles for nearly 30 years and have had many different brands and types of bikes, so I have a little bit of experience, I agree with some of the things said in this video, the engine gets as hot as hell, the right peg (or lack of it) is weird, but overall for the money its a cool little bike, I have one for work, and picking up some shopping with, and its just fine for that, I could see a beginner enjoying this for everyday use, and yeah I agree Harley prices are too much, part of the problem is that continue to make most of the bike out of metal where they could make the bikes lighter and less expensive with plastic. I payed £15000 for my Sport glide, its a great bike but I don't think any bikes worth that much unless its a modern sports bike.
Ryan F9 - "Harley wants to pull two million riders in the next ten years. And to do that they'll need us youths to understand why H.D. is worth the premium price tag" Answer: They're not worth it. You can get something better, more reliable, cheaper, faster, better built, from almost every other manufacturer. Another awesome video FortNine. You guys are killing it. Keep up the great work!
Harley is a victim of its own success.
Because all normies associate biking with Harley, the only bike I did not want to get was... a Harley.
Besides, it has an old man image - sweaty, bearded, obese squids wearing a Viking helmet, minus the horns.
holymolie if you think speed is the only thing that makes a bike worth anything then you don't understand what motorcycling is. also Harley's are amazingly reliable (it's not 1942 anymore) I can beat the holy hell out any my Harley's and they totally fine. they run just as good at 60k as they did at 1k. I ride with sport bike guys and in a lot of ways they are jealous of my bikes.
plus at the end of the day, mine are worth more. also I ain't some big beard leather clad typical "Harley guy" I hate them they suck. I've owned a ton of ujm bikes. but a Harley is a different world. and it's a damn good one.
Cameron Sprague pretty sure you missed the posters point, pick a category, not JUST speed, and someone does it better and usually for less.

harleys are shit
Tom Eierdam they shit cause a few guys got they leg burnt? shit I have two twin cam Harley's like they talking about. my Dyna don't even have heat Shields on the pipes and I've never got a burn. if you don't have situational awareness you should not be on a bike. as for them "running hot" one use full synthetic oil and don't sit in traffic on an air cooled engine and think it's gonna run cool. that's just dumb. hell I live in a hot hot hot fuckin state and my bills don't ever come close to over heating cause I won't just sit with it running.
also really you think cause 4 guys. and that article does state it is only 4 people. are crying that a whole company is crap?
you are fuckin stupid. I've owned about 30 bikes. all air cooled. they all ran hot and risked burns. so really. why do you think they suck? cause you don't understand that they are about low end torque, not top speed. of that they are big and heavy, long? or is it just cause you think you can't afford one?
cause none of those are reasons to hate a bike. I've seen Harley's hold up against gxrs in the canyons of LA and smoke em off the line and do wheelies for literal miles and yet still be able to be ridden access the country comfortably. so you may not understand the joy you can get from a bike like a Dyna or a Sportster or an Electra glide. but that cause you are closed minded. hating cause you can't handle a big bike
The Street Rod is the kind of bike you love it or hate it. People often mistakes it for a naked while it's actually a cruiser. Ok, a sportier and much more nimble cruiser for a urban environment, but a cruiser nonetheless. You are probably a bit tall for that seating position, but it's actually a very effective one once you get used to. And you can always put the Street 750 mid controls on it or the forward kit to end up with a V-rod triangle. It's not perfect, it has some flaws for sure, but it's not the worst Harley, it was actually the fastest stock bike they made until the Pan America and Sportster S. I hope HD makes a successor sooner or later.
Thank for calling it like it is. As you said it's not a decent Harley Davidson. Harley needs to stick to what it does best and that's make a classic sounding and classic motorcycle. If they want to make something new it should be all new not a parts bin throw together that doesn't have proper ergonomics. Great review!
Speaking of Indians, how about a review of one of them?
Doronik which ones the red Indians or Indian Indians
I see what you did there...
the indian bike manufacturers in usa
bike company named indian
they are rival bike companies from usa
Search Indian head stock issues, I wouldn't take one out for a test ride. I see indian going bankrupt over this
I'm kind of hoping Indian finds it first. But I'm also sad that they haven't found it already. Indian needs to quit chasing Harleys customer base. And chase everybody.
Agreed on most points, as an owner. Still I love the hell out of mine. I see a list of mods, and hours in the garage, but as a package I very much enjoy it. I am coming off the 750 though, so basically anything feels better. Great video as always.
"Nope too scary" Ryan F9 almost last words
Excited for Roadster review!
I’ve been holding my breath for that review for a while now. Don’t think we’ll get it though
I ride a 750street. It was cheap n is probably the best handling Harley. Not a highway bike but never wanted one.
Remove the end fender it even can look decent.
9k miles so far n nothing kaput..which is a miracle for a Harley.
Actually the best review of a vehicle I have ever seen. Brilliant way of reviewing and the editing group needs a big applause.
Three years ago you were praying for a miracle in Milwaukee and that Indian doesn't find it first. I'd have to say that with the Scout, FTR and Challenger. Indian definitely found it first
Just stumbled on this channel and I have to say, by far the best and most interesting and fair reviews of products, gizmo's and gadgets I've seen to date. You earned a new Sub. Keep it up.
They should have never killed off Buell. Stupidest thing they ever did. They were pulling in lots of different people and then, bam, nothing
If you feel the need for a V twin under $10k buy a Moto Guzzi. Damn good bikes.
like your shirt!
Greetings from Germany :)
Why the fuck does the title say Harley Street Rod review?
And isn’t that “Ducati Scambler” a Harley??
What an interesting way to review this bike. I love the way you broke it down all to relate this one bike to all the areas they are trying to cover.
i just rewatch this vid for yours and I'm thinking, maybe, Indian FTR1200S?
25 bucks for a martini?
Typical "urban" bar. The funnier part was the guy at the "Hipster" bar ordering the bottle of Saison and complaining it's too sour haha.
25 loonies. Whic is about a dollar three eighty US.
Welcome to canada 🤦😑
I don't like that Motorsport is always associated with drinking (or going into pubs in this case) when it should definitely be not!!!
Blimey, I actually found myself running my hand through my hair at the same time as you did! I really need to cut down on your videos............I won’t of course. Another classic.
I think Harleys biggest issue is two fold. Image and price. Not many younger people I know want to pay an arm and a leg to fit in among old fat deaf guys. And that's all anyone imagines when they hear Harley
Spot on. Harley has lost its soul. The XR1000 made great HP and still made you think of a resting dragon at idle. Thanks for the great, informative and entertaining (read, non-car and driver like) review!!
Ya'll miss the point when you try to atribute a soul to a corporation. Wasn't the harley style for renegades and outlaws? Now ya'll complaining "a corp lost it's soul"? Pathetic, even goths have more anarchy than you.
Looks like HD pulled the plug on this one .. already .. It lwast it was liquid coooled and looked more modern did not weight as much as most HD's do
it would amazing if he reviewed ducati scrambler and tried off roading it
Harley Davidson is desperatley trying to stay afloat by tapping the lesbo market.
"Mom, cant we get Eminem?"
"no honey we have Eminem at home"
Eminem at home 7:18
I come back and watch this channel’s videos every now and then. I realized at the end, what he said ended up happening. Indian did find the miracle before Harley did, even though Harley is on the right path now, it may have been too late.
despite my lack of knowledge about motor bikes, I still found this video very entertaining. Great job man :
We can now safely say Indian found it first with the FTR1200.
Don't know anyone under the age of 40 that thinks Harley Davidson is cool or worth the ridiculous price tags
no more expensive than any other bike really and many guys in their 20's love Harley...every time i work at my buddies bike shop www.motomaxcycles.com/ im surprised how many guys half my age come in for a sportster
Ze Germanz I'm 21 and I actually love cruisers. I like sport bikes too but cruisers are just more comfortable for longer riding, and I feel like they can be more personalized.
Honestly, most of my friends around my age who are into riding just want a more affordable bike, something that saves money for gas (and fun to ride).
I am 18 and the only one that I find appealing is the 883 sportster, though I would turn it into something totally not Harley.
At the 34 my HD Softail Slim S is my best purchase!
Harley Russell it took me until 34 to get my HD. It will come. I started on a triumph cruiser. It was a great bike. It's deff an "investment".
If they make a 900cc version with a bit betty ergonomics it will sell very well
Nice video. The Street Rod has its flaws, however there are certain things that are appealing.
I test rode one and if it had a different handlebar, normal mirrors, hand controls, pegs that are slightly moved forward and a stage 1 or 2 kit, I'd quite like to have one.
These are all things that can be easily changed on most Harley-Davidson motorcycles and things that many Harley owners swap out as soon as they get their bikes. Unfortunately for Street Rod the selection of parts is very limited.
Harley-Davidson based their new flat track motorcycle roughly around the Street Rod (engine at least) so if there are enough willing customers, the potential is there. A Harley that can rev higher, jump in the air and be tossed around dirt and mud. That sounds fun. So here's hoping...
Seeing F9 in that sl;eeveless getup made me visibly recoil and minimize the window at the blinding whiteness
they should shut down NOW and go back to drawing board and rethink their market strategy. They are literally loosing market share quarter on quarter....
Actually they aren't
Was the miracle you asked for found by indian? The ftr1200?
Thanks for the great and honest reviews. The Street Rod is a miss for me too but I'm looking forward to seeing what you've gotta say about the roadster.
Street rods made in the US are sold in the US. The Indian ones are for international comsumption.
best honest bike review on the internet
Dans le temps que les bières 🍻 de micro-brasseries étaient pas trop chères. (Avant le covid) ✌️👌 drink to that !
Harley, bring us a 750 flat tracker to to the street so we can customize it.
Like a 1972 XR750
I didn't ask for this motorcycle. But it is the only reason I would consider a Harley. Even the sportster has the ugly cruiser profile. It's foolish for Harley to turn it's back on so many bike lovers. There's no reason Harley cant have a segment that doesn't look like a chrome carriage to the rest of us without beards and huge guts. I actually love this bike, it's a higher quality, sleeker scrambler in many ways. However they still need to fix the seat and make some control adjustments, this bike is cramped and should have a flat seat option for anyone 6 ft or over.
:D, more reviews like this please!
Don't get the problem, I love my street rod 😊
I can feel the Edgar Wright references oozing out of this video. Its great.
Saw this 3yrs late but this is the first time I've learnt that HD made these in India. Why the f were they charging such a premium for it in India then? There was no import tax!
They wanted it to be seen as luxury item.
Honestly this is one of the hilarious bike reviews i have ever seen😂
The fucking Elsa tattoo ties the whole video together! Lmao
I had a street 750 i bought it for my girlfriend to ride. This review is so on point, I cant say enough about how accurate and correct this review is. Keep up the good work!
Iknow im 4 years late but how is nobody noticing how this is ‘the end of the world’ along with the quick cuts and obviously the cornetto’s
i was thinking the exact same thing. that's maybe what I love most about this channel. all the different ways the present their videos. noir detective with the Snell helmet video, the shining with the fuel stabilizers, the rhyming bmw g310 r review. while still making a clear point!
absolutely love this channel
HD needs to produce a street legal version of the XR750 with as much accuracy as possible. This WOULD sell!
I just rode the Street Rod yesterday, and I will attest that this review is right on the money. The heat is intense, especially on the right side. The right foot peg situation and leg position in general is awkward. The only time I found neutral was by accident while downshifting from second to first. Too bad, because it actually rides pretty nice.
i had this bike when i was taking my motorcycle safety class and i had a hard time finding the neutral as well. and the heat was ridiculous...though the bike did run smooth i still want it im just debating right now.
This video is relevant now more than ever. Harley is still out of touch af with their younger market.
Their dealers are definitely some of the worst I've dealt with. Three different dealers in three different parts of the state all looked at me and said "You're not the harley type"
Yessir, I guess I'm not. I'll give the Honda guy my money instead.
much love from Germany xD
Ryan in a leather vest sans shirt is about the best thing I have seen today on the internet. I would be less surprised if I saw my sanitation crew in tuxedos and top hats as they hang off their truck.
bro..please link me the jacket you are wearing @ 8.00 ...that jacket is FIRE!
