Hi I come from an HD iron ( that was an excellent and funny bike but a little small to me, 5,97f, 182cm) and then I bought an Indian Chief dark horse bobber (Excellent torque but really heavy to handle especially in corners) Now I am undecided between two models that I have tested, this sport glide and the street bob. Street Bob I found it uncomfortable on my legs but I did have a feeling on my Iron, this is the look that I like the most and it fills my heart but when I tried the Sport Glide I noticed that it was the most comfortable and easy to handle motorcycle for all the timeless and great look that it has, I felt like Arnold haha, but it's true that that handlebar It's the complete opposite of what I'm used to, it's a bit retro from the 40s, allow me, old man. If I let my brain guide me I would choose the Sport Glide but I'm afraid my heart always pushes me more and I bought the Street Bob. And what do you think? It would be a help!
Brings back memories, I had 2 of them 3ma RC ,black and grey one ,smashed that one up sadly ,then bought a red &white same as that one ,built a nice perfect one out of the 2 ,bored it out 2m ,turned it ,it would pull 150mph flat out ,what a bike ,what a sound ,handled like on rails with Bridgestone battle axes o1os on it ,still miss it out of all the bikes I had ,so nice to see one again ,good job my friend enjoy 😁👍
I’m always watching Harley reviews, before purchasing my first one. I absolutely love the look of the fat boy and how iconic it is, but the handling concerns me. Would you recommend the sport glide over the fat boy? Thanks
I've had a BMW R1200GS for 16 years then went for something a bit lower as I'm getting older so I bought a BMW R1250R. I have always been curious about Harleys and wanted to see what they were all about so last year I had a test ride on a Sport Glide. It was so comfortable and I went away thinking that I need to have a much longer ride on that bike so I bought one at the beginning of this year. It is just such a lovely bike to ride, a different style of riding and I absolutely love it. Both my BMW and the Harley are just great bikes in their own rights and I can truly recommend anyone trying out a Harley Sport Glide and I guarantee that you will be surprised. A great review and I enjoyed that.
I also had from 2006 a brand new bmw RT1200r for 17 years and after a surgery i done in my neck my feet went weak so im almost two years without a ride and my doctor still say a NO BIKES but i went for visit somewhere in north Sweden and this guy told me to ride his bike just a test he had a 2014 hd heritage man i took back my balls instantly i fell in love.,i mean it's so fk low. So anyway i totally get you im 48 now and im really in searching the right model!
Really torn on this and the GSX GT. I just get the feeling that the SX is a notch up. From the reviews I do wonder if the GT has a touch more character due to its quirks. Great positive review, thanks.
Good review we love our friends in Australia KLR a popular bike here in the states. As we get older comfort is everything Bike needs a factory coffee holder Cheers mate Sol Cal USA
Just got a 2022 650nk and its a really good bike so far. I live in USA so the bike is actually more powerful here. It moves especially around 7000 rpm to 11000. Thats where its power is best. Pull wheelies no problem and have had it up to 199mph ( highest the speedometer goes) but gps after the speedometer shows top speed at 210 kmh (130 mph) and it feels nice and stable besides wind kicking your ass... Brakes are best ive ever experienced on a bike so far. Better than 1000cc bikes easily. Been very reliable and get compliments alot. Thanks for review
Question. Does the Gsx-s have engine vibration as the revs climbed? I have a new 2023 and the higher the revs the more vibration that comes through the bars, the seat, the foot pegs and the gas tank. Is this normal? My mirrors are blurry at any rpm above about 4-5k too.
This has to be the worst review of this bike I have seen so far. The young bloke is still very obviously in the ego driven small capacity bikes are only for learners stage. I don’t own one or intend on buying one, but this take on the 350 Classic made me cringe.
I agree - I own a RE Classic 350 Halcyon Grey - what a charming little bike filled with so much character & charm you cant help but love it. I found the review cold & sterile. Not everybody wants or requires a bike that will do 300 KPH costing 30K As for the breaks - geez give them time to bed in - duel channel ABS
Have a 2021 model with Stage 1 and Vance and Hines big radius. 27,000klms since new and never missed a beat. 6 hour rides are a breeze and it’s a very comfy cruiser/tourer. Probably my last bike and it will see out my riding days.
You whine about lack of electronics.. quick shifter, different power/rider maps..... the simplicity is what makes it awesome and reliable. Many of us want to ride a bike.. not have nanny aids to help
I put a deposit down on a Benelli 502c yesterday. I can't wait to pick it up! I took it for a test ride after admiring it from afar, and after that ride I was convinced. Such a good ride.
Great vlog mate , I got my eye on one of these, and totally agree with you. very versatile bike which in reality Harleys they are either one or the other, with this you get options. ATB from UK
Big bike? I hear it's like sitting in a clamshell unless you're a midget? Also, after reviewing owner reviews I'm seeing blown engines from 400 miles to 4k miles?? What's that about? I think people who represent dealerships should never review bikes. Ever. What do you think, Aussie? Sincerely, an American.
I picked up the 23klr. I absolutely love it. I've been in all riding situations. It hasnt let me down. Just past 10k miles, I bought it new. Great bike for a big guy.
Got me my 17 gt couple days ago Last few bikes( just to give you my preference and perspective) were Ninja1000sx fjr1300 Tuono v2 And I was looking for a bike to be in between the Tuono and the fjr. I thought it would be ninja, but that bike being as fast and as capable just wasn't existing. This KTM however is the right mixture of practical and fun machine. Love it !
Good review, this is the only review of the M109R that is worth watching (I have watched several). Most reviews of the M109R are from the perspective of either a new rider or a cruiser rider. It’s frustrating to listen to their bla bla bla about how much power it has (trust me it’s gutless compared to any sport bike, naked or even a Goldwing). Yes your Grampa’s Goldwing will out perform a M109R in just about every category (handling, acceleration, corner speed, ground clearance, flick ability etc) except low speed handling (parking lot speeds). Plus there also a good chance that the 55 year old on the Goldwing can out ride the newbie on the M109R. Unfortunately the M109R is a cruiser squid bike (you probably want to avoid all conversations with every owner unless you want to hear about how “badass” it is, and he is).
