I wasn't so sure that Craig was the man for reviews, but I did totally dig the Nightster and Low Rider ST reviews...so go Craig! I do appreciate your sense of humor.
Thanks a lot, Craig. Now he's really gonna engineer things that are impossible to work on. On the other hand, thanks for asking the question we have always wanted to ask. At least you didn't punch him in the face, like I have always threatened to do.
Awesome job Craig! I've spent the last 2 years and more money than I'm willing to publicly admit attempting to turn my lowrider S into essentially an ST. When harley announced the ST I was super salty. Still salty. Where's the 200hp build??!
@@jeffersonmorris888 I dunno if that'll happen. Getting 200hp to the ground on a bike with a contact patch an inch wide isn't an easy thing. I hope he does though
You said you noticed a gap between 2nd and 3rd and you also kept it in 5th instead of 6th because of the final. But when you did the interview you said not a fault with it. That interview would have been a great time to ask the question about the transmission and bring that all up. Love the whole review, I just feel like that was a missed point or opportunity.
This bike could be what most riders wanted. It could be the tour line killer. I rode several tour bikes, but this won hands down. It looks good, it feels good, and it’s priced good👍
I just turned 62 and have not been on a bike since I sold my Street Glide 17 years ago. I decided it's time to get back on two wheels and wanted a bike a tad lighter than a Street Glide and when I saw the LRST with that M8 117 and 100 lbs lighter than a bagger I was sold. I was happy to read you rode a few baggers and liked this bike a tad better. I am not a cross country touring guy but a day rider that will ride Texas Hill Country doing 500 miles max a day. I am getting this bike. Safe travels🙏
Should have got the sportster s navigation infotainment gauge. Could have displayed song data as well and allowed you to adjust tracks and volume with the rockford audio system. Fail. But I’m still getting one.
What "modern touch" are you referring to, because this bike doesn't even have traction control. The digital guages??? Don't get me wrong I love my Road Glide it has RDRS (6 axis IMU) yet I don't feel the bike to be modern. So.....
@@snakeoil2182 Comparing this to older lowriders, I'd say the suspension is better than the older. Dual front brake set-up with ABS. More HP than the older. I like the higher bags, lcd screen and just an overall more modern looking bike. These are all touches, and do not make it a "modern" bike It's not an S1000rr/zx10r or anything but for a overpriced HD cruiser it's pretty nice. Especially compared to the snowmobile looking baggers. I however am not the typical "Harley guy" This is all just my opinion of course.. and all my favorite cars/bikes don't have traction control. That's half the fun.
@@87Lowbird Oh... wow... HD is adding stuff to the bikes that the other manufacturers have been doing for DECADES. This isn't new, innovative, or exciting, and still lacks several features that come standard with everything else in each designated class.
I'm glad harley isn't just covering a cheap designed bike in a bunch of ugly unnecessary tech like most other companies do. But rather they are still focused on the motorcycle itself
I was lucky enough to get one. I have a black but did want the grey. The dealer pointed ount that the hd name on the tank matches the brass wheels. After that , the black is my favorite
There’s gonna be a kit to lower the bags again to accommodate a passenger. With the bags that high the passengers legs probably are gonna be hitting the top of them
My heart is warmed now!! Awesome to see Craig getting a trip to the California. Only question is what electric/amazon/jet ski/hybrid bike, is he riding back home??!!
As an LR ST owner who's 6'0", 220 lbs with a 32" inseam, let me tell ya, the ST is a great bike... if you're 5'6" - 5'10". H-D needs to offer a SINGLE rider tall seat and a forward control kit that LOWERS the pegs too... maybe about 1" lower
Kudos to the engineer he got it right. I have wanted an FXR for several years but never purchased one. If I have the opportunity to test ride an ST and I’m comfortable on it I’ll probably look at buying one. Currently ride a 07 SG and 20 RG.
I was set on one til I went to HD and test rode one. It’s a nice machine but it’s not big enough to replace a touring bike. I am now in the market for a ultra. I’m keeping my Indian scout and buying an ultra. I felt tiny on the low rider. I think sportsters feel more comfortable. I did like the 117 and the suspension but not enough to live with the weird nuances
I demo rode a 2022 lowrider st and I was very disappointed. The cable clutch was sloppy and the clutch was dragging because of it, the fairing bounced around going down the road, the handlebars were crooked and i fixed it by putting the forks against the stop and giving it a shove. I was surprised how easy they moved. I felt the 117 lacked power for that large of an engine as well. I own a 2018 road glide and i like it alot better
I almost wish Harley would have not discontinued the sport glide , because now everyone is just gonna have the one bike? I mean if the sport glide had the same treatment I'd opt for that... There's a road glide for a street glide why not another option for the lighter rider. Good review Craig say hello to Sean.
I'm enjoying these videos 😁 Don't start your own channel,it's a good addition to this channel. Don't get me wrong I would watch it if you did. I just think I enjoy the two of you together. Love seeing two bros having fun. Don't want to make it seam like work even though it is. As far as this video I would have liked you to ask the engineer what's going on with the second gear.
Everything in that product tear cost that much not just harley. Indians baggers. Honda baggers, yammaha evert bike manufacturer with a bike in these categories with the same trim and performance categories for the manufacturer is in that price range. Get a softail standard if you can't afford that tear of bike. It's not harley it's everybody if you do your homework. Obviously the st is kinda a wierd in between category. But it's no different than comparing a rs camaro to a zl1. Stop comparing apples ro oranges and you will see harley is laying down competitive prices. Aftermarket parts are a different story thoe
@@dormantmenace well, i am in the motorbike business for 50 years, so i did my homework. When you had done your homework, you would have seen that i said "where we live", and known, that many Japanese or even European bikes are cheaper than a Harley in the same field. USA bikes are way overpriced when they come to Netherlands, and not for their great quality or dependability. Thou with the Pan America 1250 being the exeption in price. That is cheaper than its BMW 1250GS competition. We will have to see in a vew years if the PanAmerica is as dependable as the BMW GS wont we.
14:57 ... Kudos to Craig for standing up to Paul and asking if the engineers ever think of the guys who have to fix stuff. When Paul walks off, he's virtually admitting responsibility for making it so difficutl to change the spark plugs on a Milwaukee 8.
@@Srkcycles I know ... I couldn't resiste having having a bit of a dig at HD. Maybe Paul's response to Craig was his was of telling us how it really is at HD :)
this just popped up in my feed today? best SRK video ever! That Host is great 👍🏽 definitely needs a raise and quarterly bonuses! Seriously though great video.
WAIT. 1:40. Are you telling me that Harley is the ONLY company in history to have a REAL OVERDRIVE 6th gear? Do you realize how monumental this is? This is the most important day in the history of the world. I hope people understand how important this. If this bike really has a 6th overdrive gear that is actually designed properly (for cruising at a steady 85mph) then we need to all buy this bike IMMEDIATELY.
Reminds me of my first touring bike, 1983 FXRT shovel. Nit a good experience flywheels were misaligned somehow engine was gone at 1500 miles. Fixed under warranty and shortly afterwards traded it for a 1984 Evo motor FXRS.
I've been waiting 2 months and my dealer has no idea when it's coming. I finally got mine and the first thing I did was put the taller windshield on and a tall boy seat. So far I love the bike.
This could finally be THE bike for me, and I'm excited...but only if I can determine that helmet-hammering buffeting won't be part of the ride. With my Road King and Electra Glide, the only way to get rid of buffeting was to have a tall look-through windshield, which of course isn't optimal. Those who ride without helmets can get away with peeking over the shield but personally, with a full face helmet on I can't get away from that awful buffeting hammering away at the top of my helmet at anything over 50 mph or so. Tried numerous windshield designs and heights with no luck, then sold the bikes. Never an issue with my nakeds or sportbikes. Super-frustrating, but I'm looking forward to trying this bike out.
Nice bike no doubt. The one saddle bag being smaller is stupid in my opinion. No reason they couldn't have made it the same size as the other one. Also the price for what you get doesn't make sense. Same price as a road glide at least here in Canada. Great review non the less Craig. Keep em coming!
@@Krith220 clearly I know it’s the exhaust. No one keeps that factory exhaust. They could have easily done a different exhaust and had the bag symmetrical like any other bike out there. My point was the bags being two different sizes is stupid and easily avoidable.
I had an original gun metal grey lowrider in ‘77. I’d like to see the gauges back where they belong….on the tank. Also fill in the letters of the Harley logo on the tank with bright red.
As a engineer and a mechanic, I have asked design engineers what they were thinking in some of their designs. They reacted the same as that one. My title at a defense plant was methods engineer. I had to figure out how the designs could be machined and assembled.
After watching this, I feel I want to own this Harley. I like this bike. It’s cool, nice sound, looks good. I didn’t pay much attention to Harley, mainly because of pricing, and I couldn’t like the looks enough to spend that kind of money. But this one is different.
I like the look of this harley. Also love the mid controls as apposed to forward controls. I'm vertically challenged and can't reach the pegs on a typical big bike
For the first time in.....well, my entire life, I actually kinda like that Harley! I could go with bigger bags though. Not really a fan of the high peanut bags.
How's finding the neutral on it? 2nd-3rd that's one thing but the rest of the lineup of glides have issues with finding the neutral. It's a shame that such an established company with so many years of experience charging the prices they do still can't get the trannys right 🤦
Great video, Craig. You killed it. I'm so glad Harley brought you out for this. Or did they invite Sean out and Sean said "No, I can't do it, but you should take my boy, Craig instead." (That's what happened, right? Be honest.) Either way, you did a much better job than Sean would have done. : ) You actually knew about the motorcycle. I've never ridden a Harley, but now I really want to.
Also keeping the rpm’s up is the way to go. 3200 is better than 2200 for rolling down the road all day. Oil pump will be pumping more oil pressure will be better. The bikes are not meant to be bike week paraded at 2200 rpm
As a a technician and someone who's had to build, maintain, or install difference systems the question for the engineer is an important one. Even if it was played for jokes in this video I've been places where it was a constant fight between the people in the field and the engineers.
Yea that engineer vs mechanic moment was REAL! I don’t think either of us care about each other deep down hahaha. But you can’t live with or without them awwwwww
I ride a KLR but man, this particular bike is just incredible. And I don't like Harleys at all. I would go out of my way to not be associated with the brand. But that bike is SWEET
Hi, Want to know about your KLR, if you don’t mind. - why KLR? - do you ride for commute? - is KLR mainly for off roads? - is it cheap to own and maintain? - how does it handle street, highways, corners? Thanks in advance!

You’re a natural in front of the camera Craig. Absolutely loved this video.

@@108Hawke yeah a 2 in 1 exhaust would fix that problem.
Man I just watched a video from 7yrs ago and wow, your videos have come such a long way. Keep it up!
I would trade my street glide in a heartbeat for this bike.
I had an original gun metal grey lowrider in ‘77. I’d like to see the gauges back where they belong….on the tank. Also fill in the letters of the Harley logo on the tank with bright red.
Agree, also really cleans up the bars.
Low rider st & Craig are awesome!! Both rock & Rolls!! 🤘
They almost nailed it. Just needs a 2-1 exhaust and even saddles bags
I’m glad it’s not covered in chrome, either. It looks sweet, gray with black trim.
I am pretty sure I am viewer #1! The video was posted 38s ago. Love you guys!
As a engineer and a mechanic, I have asked design engineers what they were thinking in some of their designs. They reacted the same as that one. My title at a defense plant was methods engineer. I had to figure out how the designs could be machined and assembled.
After watching this, I feel I want to own this Harley. I like this bike.
It’s cool, nice sound, looks good.
I didn’t pay much attention to Harley, mainly because of pricing, and I couldn’t like the looks enough to spend that kind of money.
But this one is different.
You can't have one because you can't find one. I've looked!
None of us like the way they look. That’s part of customizing them. We don’t ride stock bikes
Can you ride two up on this bike? Didn’t notice if it comes with passenger pegs or not?
Bag and fairing colors dont match the bike? Weird Looks like its in primer. Great bike though!
All the ST needs is the RDRS system and it’d be unbeatable.
I dislike the bags, not the sportglide bags. The exhaust side bad is smaller. I would go with a two to 1 exhaust and get same size bags.
once again, Great Job Craig
Glad you enjoyed it
Prices on this Harley Davidson bike
Very cool..i have an old street glide ...like to see them coming out with something a little different!
Love you guys I'm close to you guys over in Pittsburgh. Can you do a review on the new Gasgas dirt bikes they were acquired by KTM in 2019.
I like the look of this harley. Also love the mid controls as apposed to forward controls. I'm vertically challenged and can't reach the pegs on a typical big bike
For the first time in.....well, my entire life, I actually kinda like that Harley! I could go with bigger bags though. Not really a fan of the high peanut bags.
you're killing it Craig! awesome stuff brother!!
Chain driven cams? or gear driven?
I was wondering that too
Srkcycles Craig you did a great job with your review, keep up the good content and tell Sean I said sup 😎👍
Great review , explained that 2nd gear to 3rd gear issue quickly
CRAIG’S TAKEN OVER WELL DONE BROTHER YOUR’E DOING WELL!
How's finding the neutral on it? 2nd-3rd that's one thing but the rest of the lineup of glides have issues with finding the neutral. It's a shame that such an established company with so many years of experience charging the prices they do still can't get the trannys right 🤦
Great video, Craig. You killed it. I'm so glad Harley brought you out for this. Or did they invite Sean out and Sean said "No, I can't do it, but you should take my boy, Craig instead." (That's what happened, right? Be honest.) Either way, you did a much better job than Sean would have done. : ) You actually knew about the motorcycle. I've never ridden a Harley, but now I really want to.
Also keeping the rpm’s up is the way to go. 3200 is better than 2200 for rolling down the road all day. Oil pump will be pumping more oil pressure will be better. The bikes are not meant to be bike week paraded at 2200 rpm
Heck of a job Greg and to the engineer from Harley.
I love this bike and will definitely take a look at it when one is available in my area.
One day. Hopefully this year.... my ST will show up. CAN'T wait.
Best harley i ever road out of street glides roads glides vrods heritage street bobs you name it so glad i got one
it look like a Harley I like to try ,, and I'm a hard core BMW boxer rider for year and own a R1200GS DOHC 2011 and live in the Netherlands

- do you ride for commute?
- is KLR mainly for off roads?
- is it cheap to own and maintain?
- how does it handle street, highways, corners?
Thanks in advance!
Same here lol
