Looks are spectacular and a modern Classic/Harley blend. I am a bit concerned about the suspension travel. Your reviews are BADASSED and Fun as Hell! Always a bright spot to see a new one!
Sporty's I've always had very short suspension... That's why I sold my first sporty and bought my first big twin. When this engine or when HD releases a bigger version of this engine into one of their full size bikes the result will be a AMAZING BIKE with plush suspension!
Looking to get my first bike. Never even looked at Harley until now, but I’m falling in love with this bike. Japanese bikes always looked and felt so cheap and plasticky to me, so this is right up my alley. Man, this and the FTR S Indian bike are both sexy. Plus of course Triumph, bmw and the Ducati scramblers. Old school with a blend of the new (fast and sporty).. choices, choices 🤔
I'm very opened mined about the new Sportster S as well I want one! I think they look bad ass too! And Black hell yes the Black is the one ! Although I would probably go for the mid controls and changeup the pipes to 2 into 1 low slung exhaust . I got to test ride one of these !
I'm really happy to see that you can stand strait up with the mid controls. (end of video) That is one of the most necessary features of a moto that I would own. This is also the best looking Harleys ever made and the Pan's engine and clutch are butter smooth. Sportster S has everything the 2021 Ducati Monster has except for the quick shifter New Monster has everything the 2021 Sportster S has except for cruise control Guess it's too much to ask to have it all lol
If they put two discs up front people would complain that they can’t see the wheel. It looks much better with only one and as long as it stops the bike, that’s the way to go.
I'm sure, that when the 2nd generation Sportster S is released, it will probably have Brembo dual disk brakes in front. Longer travel shocks! A displacement increase to 1500cc. What else would I like? An abundance of aftermarket performance parts! How about a sport fairing? Naw! What about you? What would you like, to be added?
These new designs have me liking Harleys for the first time since I was a child. I especially love how quirky the Pan American looks. Could still never afford one though. 😊
About those who don’t like the new technology for HD, I ask What happened to Porche when they kept developing the technology for their car’s? And I hope the same will happen to HD. I have a 2004 RK and in 2020 purchased a RGS and there is no comparison what so ever and don’t get me wrong I STILL love my RK but the RG is way better in every way,breaks, handling, smoothness of the engine just to name a few. I can only imagine if H-D would come out with a RG with this level of technology. BTW my wife also traded her Breakout for a RGS and she absolutely loves it. We thought we wouldn’t need a new bike after this BUT if HD comes out with something like this or the PanAm I think we will go for the new technology. Good job reporting, I also liked the report you did for the PanAm.Danke👍
I’d look at replacing those bars for traffic filtering and that standard tank with a Pan American tank to give the bike some decent range. The windshield sounds like a good idea.
@@ronlheureux7623 Actually I've been told by Harley people who made a video / review it would fit with only very little, if any changes. People were fitting 3.5 gallon tanks to Custom version of the previous model Sportsters.
I like the way you reviewed the bike compare to the most american youtubers. You mentioned some critical part, while them, this bike seems perfect. Looks like no option for heated grips?
LIKE THE BIKE AS A MODEL OF THE SPORTSTER BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE OTHER MODELS BESIDES POWER CRUSER GOOD JOB JULIANNE AND NICE SHIRT KEEP COMING WITH GOOD VIDEOS
Brilliant test ride review. A balanced, interesting, informative and professionally presented review. Luv your comment, don’t get mad if you like the old style buy a used one. Way to go girl. Thank you great work. Mind how you go Juliane. Neil x
Fantastic review. I have seen pictures of this bike prior to the review, but didn't realise the 122hp! Wow, that really surprised me. What a change from the original, looks great!
It looks terrible, that tiny seat is terrible, 2 inches of rear wheel suspension travel is terrible, single disc brake up front is terrible, double can high rise, dirt track inspired exhaust is terrible, heavy wheels is terrible, no rear seat or pegs, comes stock with forward controls is terrible
Greetings from Bangkok Juliane, excellent review on the Sportster and your reviews in General! I was never a Sportser fan always liked Fat boy, Street bob, or the Break-out for the more sleek shape, but this is a nice new look on Sportster, new technology, and design. Really good to see they are going with the times on many models, at H.D. I am sold! The weight reduction is impressive! Not sure if this is my favorite one , would love to customize it , then it will look amazing .
Nice review Juliane. The thing that lets this bike down is the lack of suspension travel. 51mm on the rear is just a joke. It's going to crash over rough roads as you found out. I would change the rear shock for one with more travel if I bought one but you should not have too. Harley dropped the ball with this. Ride safe.
Harley Davidson is going in a new direction with this new revolution max T engine, also liquid cooling is something that v twins have been missing out on for decades. HD has stepped into the Cadillac smooth riding arena where old schoolers and old MC clubs don’t dictate the direction, after this there is no way Harley can go back. The days of those hot air cooled engines are over as the days of a huge shift clunk and a huge problematic primary chain rotating in oil.
When Japanese bikes took over in the 80s, people said that was the doomsday for H-D. 40 years later, air cooled V-Twins still exist. No doubt they will be here for a long time still.
Great review! Usually the dual discs on the front have 2 calipers each, this with the single disc has 4 so that will be why it felt more than adequate.
Great View Thank You =) , I'm in US Cali and will go see it tomorrow in Oakland, ( Totally agree on the single front brakes, needs 2 floating disks !! )
Great test and great video as usual! What about a test of the new Indian Chief Dark Horse... after several Harley I think a comparison could be interesting! Thank you for your work!
I don’t speak english vers well, sorry ! I have tested that New Sportster and I just want to say you have made a very good review ! 👍😉 Even if the motor si nearly the same of the Pan America, the impression of accelaration is really more impressive on the sportster for a price nearly reasonable ! 👏 to Harley .
Die Sportster fährt sich schon deutlich sportlicher und agiler. Also würde meine Wahl auf sie fallen. Optisch würde mir die Breakout noch besser gefallen. Aber ganz schwere Entscheidung! :)
@@ridenroll.juliane ich finde die Breakout 114 schon sehr agil, mit viel Druck von unten und sie bietet immer einen unglaublichen Anblick. Aber ich werde die Sportster S Mal probe fahren, um zu erleben wie sie sich präsentiert.
It suits you 🤩 Nice review Juliane. Looking forward to try it, when it comes to Denmark, here in September. But I’ll guess it feels like a moped, when my daily ride is a Road Glide Special 🤘
Auspuff finde ich eigentlich ganz geil, aber der Sound muss besser werden. Kennzeichenhalter + Rücklichter muss man definitiv was machen. Freu mich schon drauf was da so rauskommen wird :-)
I have been waiting for you to review it. You are the best Juliane! I don’t like the license plate/turn signal thing, and not a big fan of fat front tires.That would have to go for me. 1977 XLCH
@@djmysticalone321 true,but they have to still cater to the young,that most like gadgets.i myself like simple ride my roadking that i can do pretty well all maintenace without taking half the bike apart,compared to my neighbours yamhaha vmax
Real world testing is the best way to test. Vvt is a fantastic part of technology. Yes height great agree. Time will tell regarding the brake's and disc's. After market companies will jump straight onto rear shock. Actually Happy it has been updated know the chapter's Will discuss but this would be awesome topic.
I would like to see a good comparison between this and a Rebel 1100. They seem kind of similar but this is more powerful on paper although it's quite a bit more expensive.
Okay... ich muss sagen, dass ich zb von der Fat Bob und dem polarisierenden Design recht angetan und von der Fahrbarkeit positiv überrascht war. Alleine vom optischen her muss ich auch sagen, dass die Fat Bob auch etwas stimmiger finde. Bei dieser hier wirkt z.b. der Scheinwerfer etwas klein für das doch bullige Design und mit dem Scrambler-artigen Auspuff konnte ich mich noch nie richtig anfreunden (Alles geschmackssache natürlich!!). Gut sieht sie aber dennoch aus. Über die fahrerischen Eindrücke kann ich natürlich noch nix sagen, aber mit dem ganzen Features und allem kann man beim Preis überhaupt nicht meckern.... Vor allem, wenn man bedenkt, dass die Fat Bob mal eben ne Ecke teurer ist. Denn mal danke fürs Video und auf Bald.... PS: ich krieg die Krise, wenn ich deinen Zopf sehe und denke, wie meine Matte verknotet ist, wenn ich nix geflochten habe.... ;-)
Oooh sooo coooool!!! RUclips just recommended your video to me 🥰 Ganz viele liebe grüße von Kelowna Kanada nach Essen 🤩 Von einem female motovlogger zum nächsten 👋
Low Rider S, Breakout and now Sportster S ... Are you reading my mind or what Juliane? Hahaha, reviews on my favourite Harleys are really appreaciated. Great work as usual by the way 🙂.
Im not sure I would want to be a pillion on this bike considering the position of the exhaust pipes.If the bike had a bigger fuel tank I might be interested.
Looks are spectacular and a modern Classic/Harley blend. I am a bit concerned about the suspension travel. Your reviews are BADASSED and Fun as Hell! Always a bright spot to see a new one!

My first time watching your reviews, probably why you have over 23,000 subscribers.
Really enjoyed it. Thank you !!!
Probably the best short review of the Sportster S so far. Thuuummbs up. 👍
Hi Juliane, deine Videos haben mittlerweile wirklich ein extrem hohes Niveau erreicht, absolut klasse! Mach weiter so :-)

This is a fucking cool bike...good job Harley...cant wait to hear it with aftermarket exhaust...
better weather then the last video. Nice review once again.
Very nice info on the bike, well done!
Hi Juliane , do a video about yourself that would be cool , some of your history for example , excellent review of the Harley as usual :-)
I'm very opened mined about the new Sportster S as well I want one! I think they look bad ass too! And Black hell yes the Black is the one ! Although I would probably go for the mid controls and changeup the pipes to 2 into 1 low slung exhaust . I got to test ride one of these !
love your reviews , was waiting for this one
Great Review
I'm falling in love with this Bike
Waiting on test ride Australia
Was always a Fatbob fan but you’ve helped me to seriously look into the new Sportster. Love the new body lines.
I'm really happy to see that you can stand strait up with the mid controls. (end of video)

Yep it looks great and maybe it sufficient, but if you push hard 240kg wet bike you can easly overheat these one disc unfortunetely :/
I'm sure, that when the 2nd generation
Sportster S is released, it will probably have Brembo dual disk brakes in front. Longer travel shocks!
A displacement increase to 1500cc.
What else would I like?
An abundance of aftermarket performance parts!
How about a sport fairing?
Naw!
What about you? What would you like, to be added?
Pause the video to give thumbs up for the Foo Fighters shirt.

You would completely destroy the bikes esthetics? Besides, that a huge assumption the the tank would even fit.

That's a latta Tourques!!!! This isn't usually my bag but I like a lot of elements on this bike. Great video. Thanks.
Excellent explanation and great really video! Comparison bikers is your competitive advantage.
Would love to see what Custom Exhuasts come out when this is more mainstream.

Actually surprised by the sound. Not as bad as I imagined with stock exhaust.

They will surely release the full range of Sports next year, it's more or less the "showcase" bike of the new line I guess
I love ❤️

9:13 Didn't know Harley started using Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engines... Great! At long last a reliable HD!
Danke für den Soundcheck!
Amazing review 🔥 Thank you.

Looks awesome

Hello from the states, thanks for the video. I can't wait to get one. It just looks tough 💪
Looks spectacular
I’m sure Ohlins will have a three inch shock for that very soon. Great vid!
Is there room for the wheel to move longer? Looks tight back there.. 🤔
@@henrikforsberg683 aftermarket shock will be longer
Then you have to lift the front too or your handling characteristics will change completely.
@@HooMeye minor change. It will handle sharper.
Amazing review and Explanation.
A good step forward for Harley. I like it 👌. Great review as always.
Nice review. Great looking bike. IMO, HD should have put the "T" engine in the Pan American.
I don’t speak english vers well, sorry ! I have tested that New Sportster and I just want to say you have made a very good review ! 👍😉
Even if the motor si nearly the same of the Pan America, the impression of accelaration is really more impressive on the sportster for a price nearly reasonable ! 👏 to Harley .
Servus Juliane,

Good review, thank you. Would be nice to have some info with a passenger ride tough.
Nice review, I also watch the other German (NothingToProve), both of you do really well reviewing bikes.
Great video. What is the reason for the price difference between Austria and Germany, rather big difference???
Tax called "Nova"!
Luxury Tax!
@@HansWurst-iq9xe damn feel for anyone in Austria buying any vehicle. Bit harsh!
It suits you 🤩
Nice review Juliane. Looking forward to try it, when it comes to Denmark, here in September.
But I’ll guess it feels like a moped, when my daily ride is a Road Glide Special 🤘
Nice detailed Info's.
Low Rider S or Sportster S? Which would you buy? What is the best and most fun for you?
Good question. I'd buy the Sportster S for the novelty, but a 45 degree V-Twin has a character that no other engine can match.
Great review, thanks, what do u think of the digital display?
Джулиана, ты сводишь меня с ума!
My Buell Ulysses only has one disc. Works brilliantly. I like this bike, even though it's a bit impractical.
Jekill bastelt schon an einem Auspuff und Thunderbike am Kennzeichenhalter 😎🤘
Auspuff finde ich eigentlich ganz geil, aber der Sound muss besser werden. Kennzeichenhalter + Rücklichter muss man definitiv was machen. Freu mich schon drauf was da so rauskommen wird :-)

just cause they keep a classic doesn’t mean they’re not with the times

Looks like a really interesting bike for a Harley. Do you think that the "peak" in the center of the front tire will cause it to wear unevenly?
Great bike 👌 Have to hop on my bike now 😉
Real world testing is the best way to test. Vvt is a fantastic part of technology. Yes height great agree. Time will tell regarding the brake's and disc's. After market companies will jump straight onto rear shock. Actually Happy it has been updated know the chapter's Will discuss but this would be awesome topic.
I think if you can hear the whirring noise of the engine over the sound of the exhaust note, there is a problem.
Great review, disappointing that there is no rear travel and the heat.
? Curious how warm the day was when riding up town stop and go traffic ? , with the exhaust heat you felt please
Really wanna go try out a sportster, but at 6'2" I'm worried it's gonna feel small.
I would like to see a good comparison between this and a Rebel 1100. They seem kind of similar but this is more powerful on paper although it's quite a bit more expensive.
I like it, but I hope they release a more 'classic' looking version with a bit of chrome and shine.
Finally a Harley for a non-harley rider! Great review.
It doesn't make much sense that a SPORT anything has your feet forward pushing wind ?
nice honest review. thanks
The exhaust pipes is kinda big and close to the thingh. My concern is it too hot while riding awhile to make it feel heat from the pipes?
Ha! COOL shirt!🤘 Grlk Foo Fightrr 😁 and nice review 👍
which bike would you buy between Low Rider S, Sportster S or Sport Glide?
2 disks are a luxury for a Harley.
And who came up with the feet-forwards position? Fun in twisties feet forward? That's new :)

Can a absolute beginner get this for a first bike?
Nice review. For my opinion is the front tire size is a little too big.
It's not about a dual front break disks, it's about the other things like the quality of the master cylinder
How does it compare to the Honda Rebel 1100? Thanks.
Good review.
Low Rider S, Breakout and now Sportster S ... Are you reading my mind or what Juliane? Hahaha, reviews on my favourite Harleys are really appreaciated. Great work as usual by the way 🙂.
My street rod 750 weight is 238kg and this guy weight is just 228kg wow
They're using the motor itself as part of the frame which saves weight.
I believe this bike will be a great platform for some interesting builds. Good on ya, HD ! ...and... very nice review !
Love from india..❤️
Can a beginner rider start on it if he uses Rain Mode or it's suicide?
Im not sure I would want to be a pillion on this bike considering the position of the exhaust pipes.If the bike had a bigger fuel tank I might be interested.
I will buy this bike, before 2021 ends.
Hows the new spotster s going any problem with it
Beautiful bike..
