I really hate that some call the sportster and roadster “girl bikes”. These are HD best looking bikes in my opinion. Mid 70’s for hp and torque is more than adequate to cruise and have a lot of fun! Nice bike! 👍
I’m italian, And we have a big tradition of bike. But the Roadster it’s now my most fav bike; aggressive, vintage/modern. A super work of Harley Davidson. Pure legend 🤟🏻
Personally I feel sportsters are even more Harley than the softails and baggers as original Harleys back in the day were stripped down and raw bikes with open fairings and basic controls. None of the fancy stuff and smooth ride that you get on the other bikes.
The best nostalgic bike ever, it's like driving a Cobra... old school, metal not plastico, sound... Beauty of the Beast, period! Thank youn Sir, for sharing with us.
Been on 2 wheels for years. Super sports to cruisers. Rode a 2006 night train for a a long time. You convinced me to buy this sportster. Mine will like exactly like yours. great vids, perfect mods. Thanks.
Oh, Man. I'm totally in love with your Sporty. Those Vance & Hines exhaust pipes are perfect. As much as I like those Clip Ons, my poor old spine would be brutalizing me.
@@benjaminenriquez3396 brand Vance and Hines , type short shots. I dont have my sporty any more I got an '18 softail slim with Vance and Hines big shots.
I have an 07 1200 Sportster 50th anniversary just had those same pipes put on my bike 3 days ago but I got the Chrome ones and I love it sounds like a bigger bike feels like a bigger bike thank Vance & Hines keep the rubber side down and be safe
I've bought me a '08 1200 sportster last week, but i really love the roadster look of this one. I have the v&h fuell pack on it and i am looking to buy the short shots too. The look and sound great. Nice bike man love from a hd enthousiast from the Netherlands
Looks pretty sick. Are you using the stock intake or just the stock cover? The V&H Short Shots are a nice choice for throaty roll on and match the denim paint nicely. The clip-on bars are also a nice touch. The only real drawback to the Sportster line, looks-wise, is the lighting. I have the glossy black '19 Roady 1200 with a stage one. K&N 360 Intake, Supertrapp Exhaust, and Tune (obviously). Swapped all the lights out for LED lights. Put an XKGlow LED lighting kit on it...REALLY adds to the footprint at night and the whole bike goes red when the brakes are applied. Also had to swap the rear suspension. The stock rear suspension is too stiff in tight corners and during quick acceleration for my narrow ass, even with compression and recoil adjusted to my weight, so I put an adjustable Legend Piggyback suspension on it.
Nice Bike, nice sound. Factory seat looks more cafe than Harley rear cafe fender accessory assy HD needs to bring this bike back with more H/P would be nice too
This is how a Sportster must sound like !! 💪 wonderful handlebar, I would like to put one on those on my sporty but I am afraid that it could be unconfortable respect the original one. What about in your experience?
Fantastic sir , i'm looking to get a sportster and the Roadster suits my taste. But the seat height is the highest among the sportster line up. How tall are you ?
SHIFTING STATE I was going to buy a v&h fuel pack but it says that no tuning is required that it’ll do it all on its own I believe I bought a 01 deuce off my friend he put the v&h big radius on it and he didn’t put a fuel pack I just wanna know what’s up thanks for your time?
@@alexanders1445 heyy can you send me a pic of your 1200 wit mini apes? I've been thinking about doing that to my roadster but I can't find any pics on how it looks like
@Steven Visser yeah, but it's not important: it's just only cc. If you are right I can invent 100500 different models with different cc every differ from other on only 1 cc.
Hey dude beautiful bike I am new to the riding world getting my license in a few weeks and want to buy a bike but people tell me a roadster isn’t for me because Iam 511, 220lbs I don’t no who to believe can you help it’s also my first bike
Frank Carlo I am 5 foot 9 and weigh 230. I have no issues with this bike. Best thing to do is go to your local Harley dealer and take a test ride. Thank you for watching
Very nice my brother. My baby started off very similar :-) check out the 2016 Harley Davidson roadster Willie G Style, love my bike enjoy looks very good be blessed ride safe
Love your content bro, I'm thinking about putting some short shots on my roadster but I've heard rumours it lowers the bhp! 😩 Could you clear things up for me?
The Roadster is the only Harley I love because it's the closest to a cafe racer.
The only thing missing to make it a complete cafe racer is putting foot controls in backward sporty position but I don't know it's possible or not
What about 48??😊😊😊
@@ShubhamShukla-ll8bh yes it's possible, Harley Davidson provides complete cafe racer conversion kit
Agree

Ive had 2 baggers...…. I miss my sporty
sportster the best.... owner....
sonny barger drove a Sportster look him up I wouldn’t have called him a girl.

I’m all about sport bikes but maaaaaan I love when Harleys have low bars like that
man, nothing like that feeling when you get your bike back from the dealer! sounds badass bro
The Music, The Dude, The Bike are so relatable. Lovely ✌️
I love it when the service guys greet the customer with a dyno chart :)
IMO that's the best looking bike HD has available right now.
I test rode a few including the FatBob and still loved the 1200 based bikes best. Just something simple about them.
They are made for men
I love how happy he is, like a little kid on Christmas Eve 🥹❤️

Thank you. Happy I could help and welcome to the family
this guy looked like a kid on Christmas morning... loved that shit lol
Oh, Man. I'm totally in love with your Sporty. Those Vance & Hines exhaust pipes are perfect. As much as I like those Clip Ons, my poor old spine would be brutalizing me.
Awesome bike! I have the 48 and couldn’t be happier
I had the same exhaust installed on my 2005 XL 1200 roadster. I love the way they look and sound. They look and sound great on your bike . Enjoy !
How can i find this one? The name? Plis
@@benjaminenriquez3396 brand Vance and Hines , type short shots. I dont have my sporty any more I got an '18 softail slim with Vance and Hines big shots.
Mini grenades sound good too
883 and the 48 are hands down the best looking harleys right now.🙌🏼 looking into getting a 48 this year.
honestly this is the only roadster iv seen that I like sweet lookin ride bro
4:00
Awesome chopper
It's got so much character to it that cars cannot really give you
Maybe a muscle car, but yes your right, the Harley Sound Beats them all!
I have an 07 1200 Sportster 50th anniversary just had those same pipes put on my bike 3 days ago but I got the Chrome ones and I love it sounds like a bigger bike feels like a bigger bike thank Vance & Hines keep the rubber side down and be safe
Nice bike sportsters are one my favorite HDs ever
when you ride this, you just know that life is good - I have 2016 model.
4:42 got yelled at for not wearing his helmet xD
That little bike sounds like a beast! Love it!
blacked out looks sooo much better. love those pipes!
Nice bike, nice sound nice everything. 👍🏼
can't decide between the Roadster and the 1200Custom ... lovin Sportsters ... simple / raw fun .. all i need.

So I'm new to the channel, first off that bike is amazing! Secondly would u suggest a 1200 Roadster over an Indian Scout Bobber for a beginner bike?
sound of the exhaust is so lovely!
This bike, the marvelous sportster and the 48 are the best looking Harley's at the moment in my opinion
Amazing!..... Question... What kind is this handlebar (or brand)???...or..do you inversed original bar? tks a lot.
Can I ask how much was the install?? Love the sound of the V&H short shots. This would be near my dream bike. 🤙🏼
Looks pretty sick. Are you using the stock intake or just the stock cover? The V&H Short Shots are a nice choice for throaty roll on and match the denim paint nicely.

With that bike...you're the man! I fuckin' love it! 👏🏼
Till now i have screaming Eagles on my roadster and now iam going to hit garage and install the H and V full system on it❤❤
Nice Bike, nice sound. Factory seat looks more cafe than Harley rear cafe fender accessory assy
HD needs to bring this bike back with more H/P would be nice too
That is one sick ride brother.
Thank you sir
Hi, have you just twisted the bars and inverted the mirrorson this, or are they a new set from the stock bars?
Noah Playz new bars
I see a child inside that man, very happy child
Woooaaaw that sound so beautiful ! Nice Bike !
This is how a Sportster must sound like !! 💪 wonderful handlebar, I would like to put one on those on my sporty but I am afraid that it could be unconfortable respect the original one. What about in your experience?
A set of rear set would do finish it for me. Beautiful bike.
I love the look of short shot but for some how, can we keep the tone of stock exhaust. I don't like loud
Fantastic sir , i'm looking to get a sportster and the Roadster suits my taste.
But the seat height is the highest among the sportster line up. How tall are you ?
aviator2492 I am 5’7” , it is perfect for me,, I have the Roadster 2019
3:40 Froggy wants a ride 🥺🥺😁
Can’t wait to buy my first Harley!!!!
Nice 👍. May in ask what’s the price on the install of the pipes
where can I buy the same exust n how much does it cost for the same bike thnx
Looks and sounds totally bad ass! Damn shame they're so pricy here in Europe..
I have the same one, I like the handlebar, I like that style, could you tell me the name
The stock exhaust looks so much better but the vance has the better sound
Those pipes look and sound great nice bike
Love the Clip-ons
Lovely exhaust note. Are those street legal exhaust?
Cool Bike and cool Video.✌
Nice bike but what's with the handlebars?
Sweet bike, nice pipes sounds good
i am thinking of buying one but i was wondering if being 5 11 and 230 i am too big for it...thansk
I’m 5 9 and about 230.
I'd leave it mostly stock and just enjoy it
Did you have to put a fuel pack on that bike after you changed the exhaust with them v&h ?
Derek Quinones I added a screaming eagle tuner and had it tuned on dyno
SHIFTING STATE I was going to buy a v&h fuel pack but it says that no tuning is required that it’ll do it all on its own I believe I bought a 01 deuce off my friend he put the v&h big radius on it and he didn’t put a fuel pack I just wanna know what’s up thanks for your time?
0:27 oil and filter change for $100, do Harleys use that much and/or special oil? :-)
The price you pay for not doing it your damn self !!!!
Happy new year !! Iam Japanese.
your bikes very cool！
What kind of seat do you have ?
Are they just straight pipes? Can’t see much of a muffler
markman63 Vance and Hines short shots
Did you lower the handlebar there or does it come stock like that?
I added the HD clip on bars. Did not come stock this way
Very nice.
Shit, sounds good but still a big fan of straight pipes. No baffles
Love the bike! Only thing I'd change ate those Barr's if aff some 12in T bars and a Club style fairing
Dan Sotelo everyone loves these teeny bars. My ‘19 1200 came w/ the 12” mini apes and I wanna go a lil higher, but not go full freedom star.
@@alexanders1445 heyy can you send me a pic of your 1200 wit mini apes? I've been thinking about doing that to my roadster but I can't find any pics on how it looks like
Jessi Baires my mini apes are gone. The iron 1200 came stock with the 12” mini apes. So look up a stock one and see what’s up 👊
OOOOH SHIT!! YES, YES,LOOKING GOOD
daaaaaamn, that sounds GOOD. Wear your earplugs!
How tall are you? I’m 6,7 ft, is that bike is going to be too small for me?
I’m 5 foot 9. Honestly you are probably going to look to big for that bike. But if it’s what you want then go for it
V&H Short Shot ... el mejor sonido para mi HD 48
Just subed that roadster is all good
Sounds great!
Have you had any issues with the nuts coming off? Mine keep falling off
What's the most important difference between Roadster and Iron 883?
@Steven Visser yeah, but it's not important: it's just only cc. If you are right I can invent 100500 different models with different cc every differ from other on only 1 cc.
The stance of the motorcycles is almost completely different
@@f2detaboada i'm not sure about what "stance" is? Physical position on the road or something else?
Great bike and it sounds amazing
Loving that seat man, what is it?
It’s a stock xl1200cx seat.

Frank Carlo thank you brother and thanks for watching
Sounds like a beast oh man

They are made by Harley but discontinued now. Mirrors are stock just flipped upside down
@@SHIFTINGSTATE oh man...
Very nice my brother. My baby started off very similar :-) check out the 2016 Harley Davidson roadster Willie G Style, love my bike enjoy looks very good be blessed ride safe
Congratulations bro 😎
Man that bike looks so sexy 😍😍😍
Nice bike!!! God bless You
Did you just do exhaust or do tune and intake spacer? Local dealer says won’t install just muffler on my roadster
Ultimate Motoring dealer installed and tuned mine
Awesome bike man
From vietnam🇻🇳 with love
Awesome sound man🔥🔥
I have a 17 Roadster, what kind of bars are you using?
Zack Carroll HD clip on cafe bars
I wonder if that seat fits on an Iron 883 ?
I believe it should
Love your content bro, I'm thinking about putting some short shots on my roadster but I've heard rumours it lowers the bhp! 😩 Could you clear things up for me?
Actually uploading a update video Tuesday covering this topic.
@@SHIFTINGSTATE ahh sweet! I look forward to seeing it!
nice had one of these . can someone do the comparison with the scout together would be great, and swap bikes during cheers Pete...
Pete Fenn that would be a great video
Amazing bike!
I can't make up my mind if I want two brothers or vance shorts
IDK if I’m going to get these or the TBR’s
The bike is looking good!
