Everyone bitching because its not a traditional Harley bike. THAT’S THE POINT. It’s a performance bike, meant as an introduction to a new generation of riders.
That's right. I don't get it either, why some people are so critical that Harley made Sportster or Nightster or Pan America. The are not traditional, but they are very good. Every brand has to try something new once in a while. Besides, Harley still makes a wide variety of traditional cruisers to choose from.
I test rode one Saturday and was surprised how well it rode. For the type of bike, it is it needs duel rotors. The brakes are good ,but if you ride it for what they're made for, the front brake would fade in no time. I think it's a must for performance bikes.
I rode this and it is better than the softail harleys byba long shot. So much more refined and that motor is characterful in a different way. The softails are ok, not great and not worth half of what they are charging. This bike and the nightster are the best bikes Harley makes. The 117 i rode was not characterful it was just exhausting and thats not character. Moto Guzzi has character. This sportster s is fantastic and that motor has character. Ut can be mellow if you wnat it to be as well.
Has H-D cleared all the Gremlins this bike has had since 2021 ?? Everything from Engines Blowing up, Transmissions Blowing up, Batteries that left you Stranded, etc. No excuse for the price, this bike having so many problems from the very start
That poor bike looks like it's had a severe allergic reaction. Like shellfish with peanuts sort of bad reaction. All puffy and bloated looking. Hope it gets well soon. :(
