Just went to the Roughneck Harley Davidson store in longview texas. Spoke with Jacob (helluva guy) and just got this 2020 iron xl1200ns as my first bike!
Blockhead I'm buying a 883 for my sons 1st bike, because u spoke so highly of them...
I want my first bike... is thid a bad idea
Dont think ill get it anytime soon but this bike is beautiful
Dude I just found this channel a few days ago and I'm a soon to be first time rider. Your videos are seriously the most helpful I've found and I love that you're from Orlando cause so was I (in Ohio now)! Thank you a ton for all the content, all of your beginner videos and how-to's are helping a ton. Can't wait to enjoy more of you and your girl's content! ♥
Great review of the 1200 Iron! I'm glad HD finally came around and made the 1200 Iron, great job HD!
No waayyy, i was steady checking to see when you'd finally upload this!
Hey man just wanted to say that your videos are awesome and very helpful in helping me on choosing motorcycle. Thank you for what you do man.
Amazing video man, I was really curious about this bike glad you did this! I feel like this is a no brainer for anyone in the market for a sportster, especially if it's so close in price to the og iron. They definitely did a great job with this, best release they've had in a while. In addition to my dyna I also ride an 1988 883, curious to test ride one of these new ones myself and see the difference. I also didn't know about that one year trade in deal, that's pretty sweet! Good stuff man ride safe out there! 🗽⚡️
Love the new 1200 can’t wait to test ride seriously think of trading my street bob for one I’ve always had a sportster and now miss it so bad thanks for test ride video very helpful
Thanks guys! I'm taking the 1200 Sporty out for a test ride myself on Thursday, its used but only 988 miles. I trying to pick between the 1200 Iron and the 48 Special... I like the forward controls on the 48 but love the look of the 1200. Thanks again for all the info.
Honestly didn't think I would like these based on the original photos, but after looking at them a bit more they definitely bring something to the sportster lineup that I want to see more of.
Nice! been waiting for a review of the iron 1200, finally it's here!
Yo Blockhead I test rode one today and they sold me on it. Didn’t think I would like the fairing but it actually helped with the wind. It will definitely get up and go without much effort.
Whaaaat the new iron!? Sweet! I like the intro bro, something a little different 👍🏽
I just caught a great deal on a 2013 iron 883. Man, I really have fallen in love with the irons! Whether it's an 883 like mine, or a 2018/2019 like my buddy has....they're just so natural feeling.
Love the look of these. Definitely want
This will likely be my first motorcycle within the next month or two.. I have to go test drive them. Very helpful review. Keep it up!
Did you got yours?
You are the first iron 1200 I’ve seen. Thank you. I’ve been looking to buy an iron and i finally found THE one.
Thanks again !
Glad to help! :)
I’m so glad I ran into your channel. I don’t own a bike (yet) but your videos are just so entertaining. Well done brother 👍🏽
First off I love Your channel . I really like that you have got MS.Blockhead into it !
I have a 2005 1200C that I bought new , still carb. It sat unriden do to work -wife until last year 2018. I took it down to my local shop and had the carb replaced ,Screaming Eagle intake and V&H shortshots. The carb was jetted for over 7000 ft in the rockies were I spend most of my time now .
Drag specialties happend to be there and dynoed it with 95 hp rear wheel @ 6200 Rpm !
OH and New tires brakes and 5000 mile service w/all Amsoil . 3200 miles on bike know!
Keep the vids coming !
Also renewed my HOG membership!
Being single @ 44 SUCKS !
Harley bring this 3 months after I jump to my 14 iron 883 ....grrrrrr good videos BH . Keep em coming
Digging the drone footage, BLOCKHEAD. I was in a drone phase for a while, but just reverted back to slinging the DSLR with me everywhere. Thanks for the review. Oh, and thank you for the sticker. It is hanging in my garage/lab.
Had the DSLR in the pack as well but was pressed for time, dealer was closing down. Drone night shots are always cool! Glad you're putting the sticker to good use ;)
Just saw this bike. I love it. Thanks brother. God bless you.
Before this even starts I need to say I'm very excited
Saw this bike with white wall tires on wire rims and sissy bar. My my i fell in love !! Got my classes set up for my license and right after im getting a sportster! Hope the one i took a picture of and had gotten quoted on is still there when the time comes
sweeeeeet!!
had a feeling that you would be back on the sportster line again. . . somehow. . . lol
the 70's look is fantastic. . . feeling a bit of nostalgia anyone??? lol
awsome vlog !!
I think the release of this bike is kinda bitter sweet for my own reasons. The setup on this looks a lot like my 2012 883 that I bought last year, with the mini-apes and the wind screen. Which obviously, I'm all about since it's what I have. That 1200cc motor though has me a bit jealous since it comes stock on the Iron platform, but since I bought mine used, and at a great price, in the end upgrading with the 1200 kit is going to be the cheaper alternative for me. Had I of waited till this year to buy a bike, I probably would have bought this one. Love your channel man!!!
I know it´s a dark time but I loved so much the color. Also, I feel like this is the farewell edition to the sportster as we know it. I bet we will se a new frame as we did on the softail line within the next year.
super cool video, great editing and shooting!
Such a sick bike! Awesome review.
Another brilliant video!
Having owned many sports and dynas,the sport is my favorite bike.Lets face it no matter what brand you buy,aftermarket is necessary.Never owned an 883 but they are far less powerful than the 1200,due to much smaller valves and displacement.Good video man.
I own one of these and I love it. I'm currently making it a clubish style. The fairing helps on my commute on the highway.
You have a pic of it?
Love this bike!! Love the review!! Please do the new Iron 1200 whenever it comes out!
Love the look of the iron
My first Harley! 2019 in Twisted Cherry! Fun bike!
I love that old school color combo
I got to sit on one at the IMS motorcycle show in Washington DC a few weeks ago, 48 special was there also. Both are awesome bikes.
Perfect review. I had all the same thoughts. I love my iron. Wouldn't change a thing
Just bought a used one in white today. Picking it up tomorrow 👍🏻
About time you mentioned me! Nice intro buddy
This is my first bike. I bought it used at cowboys here in San Antonio. I'm the third owner, but I absolutely love my bike. It didn't have the mini apes but I put outlaw z bars and it feels amazing.
Just bought this bike - same color scheme and all. Can't wait to get on it. :)
Just stumbled across your channel. Subscribed! Well done brother. I ride a 2016 CVO Breakout. A-A-Ron!
love the look. Plan on keeping my 100 year anniversary sportster and getting something like this aw well. LOVE Sportsters!! I only ride around the city.
@legend of Awww Sheet ! nope. Life happened. Moved to a place with mountains. Now looking at something for longer trips. Still have my Sportster and it really struggles on the inclines!!
Cool to see one outside the HD media release. Thanks for the test ride. New pipes would make a little sound difference lol.
scott rubie Bassani would be awesome
Walktheline I had a Bassani on my XG500 and although the exhaust note was cool the look was not so much. The V&H short shot staggered in ceramic black would look pretty cool. Or left field the Python throwback they are wrapped with a chrome tip. They look cool but not idea the note. I guess the school is out till we all get our hands on one and do our own thing. Happy days as usual.
scott rubie I will never buy a Vance and Hines product again as their own customer service rep stated they build exhausts for aesthetics and sound, not performance.
Walktheline didn't know that thanks for the share man. Well worth knowing. Maybe a Bassani pro street. Nothing in chrome. Needs to be black. Powdercoating after the fact is a pain in the arse.
scott rubie I ordered a chrome road rage and bought the chrome heat shields. Stripped headers had them ceramic coated, installed chrome heat shields looked badass.
Not typically a Harley guy but this thing does it for me hard. I love the AMF era paint.
Watched you fat bob video and went to the nearest HD dealer and have to say will definitely be getting one after getting on it and they already got rid of stock exhaust and that 114 with nice pipes is so nice. Keep up the videos and the detail on new bike as Harley releases them
hey man from Australia here keep up the videos!
This thing looks great
Hey blockhead this bike is awesome!..I jus pic up d 2020 billiard blue 1200 2 weeks ago..man she rides great.luv the bike..those min apes look good on it to..hey good video once again..ride safe..
Took delivery of the Iron 1200 today. Traded a 2015 Bonnie for it. First Harley for me. Absolutely love the riding position on this bike , so comfortable. Power delivery is beautiful. Rode back on the Motorway and ample power for motorway cruising. Suspension is OK. The braking on the bonnie was better but that may just take getting used to.
Very cool, congrats!
I have one, put shortshots and Intake with full led conversion. I like it. It’s nice
Wish the paint stayed the black with eagle logo. Thanks for the video Block. I look forward to these....
I have a 2021 XL Iron 1200. I am having the tank modified to hold 5 gals. I am working on some other upgrades and I am going to ride from Dallas TX to Sturgis SD in 2022, 1075 miles.
One of my mods is putting front and back cameras on the bike and recording that trip. I have done multiple 75 mile one way trips on the bike going from Dallas to Choctaw Casino daily do to work.
Longest trip was a weekend trip to LA. 201 miles one way. No issues with cramping, or being uncomfortable. Bike worked well at speeds of 60 to 90 mph.
The 3.2 gallon tank was an issue that is why I am have the tank worked on to get up to 5 gals.
Few weeks I’ll be buying this in twisted cherry I can’t wait!
Just bought a 2020 1200 yesterday. Very excited about it
What do you think?
Liking the iron 1200. Styling wise looks like what I did with my 883 a couple years back (mini apes and fairing) you’re welcome HD! 😂 also hi from the uk. Mates with motonewbrider and feature on a few of his vids. Bet he is well happy over the mention in this vid!!
I recognize that dealership since I drive by it everyday! Going by to check out an Iron 883 today!
0:00 I like the new intake on the Low Rider S.
Enjoy the content. Keep it up.
I love my street glide, but even though I just bout the Street Glide it may be time it has a new brother in the garage. I'm loving that Iron
Nick Black I’m up to 3 bikes in my garage now. Nothings wrong with giving your Street Glide some company.
ejakeway I don't disagree, were putting an addition and 2 car garage on our home. I have a feeling come spring there will be another addition to the garage 🏍
My Street Glide just got another little brother Friday. A 1200 Iron.
My 72 got totalled. Thinking of replacing her with the new 1200 iron. The 3.3 peanut tank Is a plus, the mid controls are a minus. I love the mini apes.
As with every Harley video I dig the look and the sound but then I notice the rider scraping on an incredibly mild turn and I wish HD would make something with more clearance/lean angle.
i actually got this bike due to this review keep up the good work blockhead and if you havnt joined his patreon i suggest doing so his one of the best out here and definitely deserves it
How do you like your bike so far?
Damn You have the cleanest garage I've ever seem Good for you
I just got my Iron 1200 from the New port Richey dealership here in Florida and I traded in my iron 883 and I like the power.
Hadent heard of the trade in within a year before. But im satisfied with my 2016 roadster bought sept 2016
Amf is still part of HD history. They captured the 70s and early 80s well. I've got AMF ** as my licence plate in Australia even though it's a 2012 dyna. Tbh they're standard plates. I had the choice of 3 and amf made sense. But still, I dig the era and bikes. They're good bikes Once you pull them down and re machine everything 🤣🤣🤣.
I seen the Iron 883 in Wicked Red with the Z bars and I think I like those too. Although I like the minis as well
Planning on trading my 883 for this Friday.
sweet bike, last year in 2019 I had a 2019 Indian scout bobber
This is the bike I am getting once I pass my full test which is end of May.
Good luck on the test! And you will love the evo 1200! When I bought my bike, they haven't the iron 1200, so I took the roadster 1200
It's a excellent choice
Did you end up getting the bike? If so how is it? @Kenny
Kenny What bike did you use to pass the test though?
you were barely leaning though @4:50
Amf decal= really beautiful decal
Dark days indeed
But damn it looked good
Do ya think with a forward controls kit would make the issue you mentioned about the seat...feeling like you're sitting on the back edge...would minimize this? Also....the Twisted Cherry color is pretty sick!!
I had a Sporty w/ buckhorn bars and one w/ drag bars. Buckhorn 4 the WIN!
Definitely needs an aftermarket exhaust, preferably a chrome staggered dual setup. It should sound like a Harley, and it needs some chrome to offset all that black.
Not typically a Harley fan but that is a great looking bike.
Looks like a dope bike!!!
Great looking bike
Cool video
I'm on my 1st hd bike after many bikes metrics and German BMW's
I finally saw the light with hd they are wonderful I will nvr own another brand. They really do bring true lasting happiness. Give them a try guys, u gotta own one to understand I guess.
13:08 I actually liked the strip of chrome a bit better. I liked those sportsers because I felt they kept just enough chrome to make the engine stand out while still having the cool blacked out look. But with it entirely blacked out, the engine doesn't visually pop as much for me.
Thanks for the video. If you put on a rear seater for two-up, do you need, or do you suggest a change of suspension?
Bought the iron 1200 for my commuter n love it. Stage 1 kit tall sissy bar. Shes fun
Looks good
Awesome review! I know you had a video with 3 bikes and one of them was a Softail Slim, but it was the last bike and was brief. Any plans to do another one with a little more detail?
I can say I like the styling on the side of the tank. other than that the bike seems awesome.
I'm having trouble choosing between a Roadster 1200 or an Iron 1200, this will be my first bike and daily rider, which style would serve better as a daily rider?
I just picked up my 2018 xl Iron NS
Blockhead
Wow that is the coolest bike Ive ever seen
I have never really road a bike per say
But really want to get in it. & man, that theeee bike
I’m doing it yo Iron 1200 yes!!!
I envy you tall guys for being able to comfortably sit on your bike without having to tip toe
Noice looking bike, needs a 4.5-5 gallon tank. Some legs is a good thing, last all week, or a nice weekend trip without stopping to fillup every 120 miles.
Super Dope bike! I think part of the appeal, or at least what appealed to me, about the Iron 883 is the tank and color scheme. I love that low profile look of the dark grey and the black emblem. I currently have a Black '06 883R, and I thought all of the colors and checkers on the tank were a little much at first, and I wanted to change my tank out for an Iron tank. After I found out how few of the "Rs" there are in the US, I decided to keep it how it was. Anyways, love your channel, and your reviews! That seat looks awesome, hopefully it will fit on my 06 sportster!
Same here. I like the old HD logo and not the AMF looking colors. Imagine, people that make bowling balls or whatever, making motorcycles.
This one has a real nice profile.
Those look cool
Yesterday I saw the iron 1200 in the local shop, but the swingarm is so tiny, riding position is for me 176 cm excellent.
I will be getting the 1200 next year
Test rode the Triumph Speedmaster and T120, both 1200's..they both get super warm, and that fan kicks on and it's a knee scorcher!!! I live in AZ, so could you find a way to discuss the possible deal breaker of excessive heat. Picture 105 degrees, sun on you like stink on $πit and you get caught up in rush hour..no lane splitting allowed. Just an aspect I see a lot of reviewers overlook.
Hello there I have sportster iron 883 and I want to upgrade my question is is there a big difference between this new 1200 or should aim higher?
If only they did the 1200 in Black Denim or Industrial Grey... I'm getting the Iron 1200 but getting the XL1200C tank.
