I just put a downpayment on a 2020 street 500 today. I passed my msf course on one and found one luckily no scratches only 300 miles on it sounds beautiful. Im so excited !!!
Congratulations on passing the class and that's awesome that you were able to get one I totally love my 2019 you'll find it it's a really awesome bike to have I'm so happy for you be safe riding out there
I bought a white 2019 street 500 about 3 months ago and I totally agree with you, I will be keeping this bike. I named her Pearl. Thank you for the info on the upgrades and saddle bags.
What’s your advice on a 2018 street xg 500 for a brand new rider who passed their mss on a grom? I’ve been primarily looking at naked bikes as that is what appeals to me most but recently sat on a 2018 street 500 and it honestly felt good. Very comfy and for a bike that weighs more then the naked’s i’ve been sitting on, i honestly didn’t really feel that weight. I was able to rock it back and forth easily w/ my legs alone while seated and the bike was off btw. Seems like i would be able to handle it. Def interested in a test ride. I don’t own any bikes. I’m still shopping but i do have a list of what i am looking at - some of which i’ve either tried already or have yet to try. Ruby is beautiful! I haven’t seen any xg 500’s past 2018 up here where i live. I wonder what the main differences would be b/t years. I’ll have to google. The dealers want $6495 for the 2018 ones. Rumble On website - lowest i found was $2500 and there was no issues with either but i think it was a 2016. The majority are in the range you stated $4k+. I wish i could find a Harley Davidson super low 373cc - those are not made anymore but I’d really just love to see one of those. Street 500 is the lowest hd displacement i can get though. How easy is it to ride for a new rider? When i was in mss, my grom stalled a lot - my problem was stalling when coming to a stop or leaving from a stop. No other issues other than a lil rough on some shifting but I’m curious on this bike. Everyone says sportster is the way to go for a beginner, but i don’t know about all that power and weight honestly for me. Hence why i am looking at naked bikes. I don’t want power nor do i feel i need all that yet. I’m going about this in a smart way i feel. I think ppl are nuts to go thru mss and then go out there and buy a 850cc+ as a first bike. There’s a reason why entry level bikes are made ya know. I think the street 500 is ample - it’s not a 250cc, and it’s not a powerhouse either. So i don’t think i would get tired of it easily as say a 250cc. I think it’s a good mid-range cc bike compared to the rest of the entry level ones out there. It’s affordable too imo. Idk yet but I’m looking at it. I liked what i felt when i sat on one. But i need to test ride one and see how it compares to what I have ridden. I’m curious on what my insurance would be too. I’m 42 yrs old and have been driving a car for 17 yrs - no issues. This would be a first bike for me.
I'm a new rider with a Street 500 2018 same paint job as Ruby. Rode it for the first time yesterday and rode for 5 hours around towns and main roads easily and confidently. It's a fun bike ticks all the boxes and is exactly what I wanted in a first bike 💯 I'm in New Zealand 🇳🇿
@indymyqueen8993 congratulations on riding. I know you will love it the more you ride. Perfect bike . I have a lot of ride videos and some of the mods I did if you like to check them out. Safe riding
Love the bike. Really good looking bike. I am looking at one right now. 2018 Street 500. I use to ride when I was 20 then thought I am going to ride again. Started riding again 32 year later. How I miss riding. I had 1985 Honda Interceptor 500 first bike then bought 1992 Kan of tuna lol katana 600. Then now bought a 1993 Yamaha YZR 600R. And now I am looking at the Street. Funny thing is I wanted something lighter then my Yamaha that weighs 425 pounds. Street is 500 plus. But dose it really feel that heavy. If anyone could let me know. Love the vide. Everyone that rides, be safe and stay safe. God bless
I’ve been looking primarily at naked bikes as that’s my preferred style that appeals to me. I learned and passed my msf on a grom. The lightest bike has its advantages but it does have cons too. I’m still curious about the street 500 and i want to test ride one. I find a lot of ppl that hate them and idk why. I mean the msf uses street 500 a lot - our school had them too. If it’s a good learner, entry level bike, then why would it suck? Especially if mss has lots of them. Idk. But i found myself looking at a nice 2018 XG 500 - have to say, it was comfy! This a lil under 500lb bike, honestly didn’t feel like it was. I was able to comfortably rock it back and forth just using my legs alone while seated on it (bike was not on btw). Didn’t feel as wide as other Harley’s or bikes i sat on either. Also I’m 5’6 197lbs and female. We had a big tall guy in our mss class, fit and he started out on a street 500 but apparently couldn’t handle it, so they switched him to a Suzuki tu250. I was surprised but he couldn’t. I thought about that when i sat on this bike rocking it and feeling it out. Cuz I’m nothing compared to the build of that guy
How tall are you sir? I’m 6ft tall 109kgs and in the process of purchasing a street 500 for my first bike without even seeing one in person yet but I worry I’m too large for it
I am 75 and my bike died of a broken piston rod. I am planning to get a 650cc rice burner. How many more years do I have to ride? A local bike club has a rider of 82 years!
@@ridingonruby3287 When I fall off the bike or forget to pull down the bike stand then it will be time to quit riding. Until then, I will get a new 650 Kawasaki Vulcan 650 and keep riding......I talked to a motorcycle club rider yesterday and he said the oldest member still riding was 82!!!!!
As far as I know there wasn't very many differences on the Street 750 or the 500 throughout their years it should pretty much be the same thing some had alarms and the color schemes would be different
If your bike Ruby makes you happy man that's all that matters we are no not all boy racers, and we are not all fussy about build quality or motor although in my opinion there has not ever been a good Harley built in history of motorcycles.
@@ridingonruby3287 and like I said my friend that's all that matters apologies for my negative review on Harley-Davidsons I lost somebody on one of these things and I don't like them now that's why I picked on them but you're kind response is good but I must say totally unexpected my brain just can't really compute that. I hope I haven't become like most. 🤔💯respect 2u
@@ridingonruby3287thank, you sound like an American. Im Australian so I'm an ally so I'm all good, have you still got Ruby if not I have subscribed so I'm going to watch some of your other stuff I've never seen such a pleasant character in my life.💯👍🇦🇺
Yes I still have Ruby. I bought Ruby after my wife died unexpectedly in 2020. I had to get out of the house. Went through probate court to get her bank account and the state took all of her $5000.00. so I bought what I could get and that was Ruby. Thanks for subbing. I follow two people in Australia, awesome people there
This revolution engine is far better than the sportster evolution engine.. The 750 street rod with more powerful engine is even better… there are some very rich you tube reviewers who consider street not Harley ( e.g Marvel Kid)
@@ridingonruby3287 well the air cooled engine stand no chance to power and reliability of liquid cooled… actually lot of riders spend money on cooling fan for air cooled motorcycles… why don’t Harley-Davidson provide the fan in first place…( it’s a pain in hot days and traffic)…Street is more advanced and value for money bike…
Excellent! Ruby is one fine machine and sporting her accessories! Love your video!

Love it. Looking for storage myself on my XG500. I’ll look into this. Thx for posting.

I bought a 125cc town bike so my heavier bike I take on highways and freeways and into the mountains
@johnengland8619 that's a great idea. Easier to get around in town with a lighter bike. Good job. Ride safe
Had similar saddlebags but I screwed them down with a bolt under the seat
Cool good job
Any insight on the 2016 model?
