Harley-Davidson 2023 Low rider ST Review - Ride along & personal opinion 

At the age of 60 I brought my first Harley a lowriderst in gunship grey, I am only 5,8 and I love the mid controls, also put 61/2 inch bar rises and man o man I love this bike

Good review/video! Rally dig the no techy b.s., just honest stream of consciousness review, as you ride it. This may be my next bike. Ive been looking at them at my dealer for a minute, and so far, everyone whos rudden one, or own one, truly loves it. Keep up the great content, stay safe, and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!

All the best for you and fam Matt, look forward to seeing more of your adventures in 2024...

Sick review mate. Been awesome watching the growth of your channel and presentation style along with your old man participating. Great to see. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to ya

thanks for the review mate excellent

What's that delicious accent? 😄At first, I thought it was a German speaking English... then I thought maybe someone from the North of England... until you started rolling the R's... I said, darn it, he's from South Africa... and then, nope, Australia hahaha. This is probably the best video on the Low Rider ST, because you really hit the engine right, you push the machine, it's awesome!

Hey, just subscribed before I realized you're from the Sunshine Coast as am I... Love this bike got a chance to ride this very bike recently it's a very nice ride. Great to connect see you around the coast sometime. Good luck with the channel.

Merry Christmas & have a bloody gr8 new year to you & Tarny. See you in 24 😁👍

Great review. You convinced me! I have ordered one. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Gr8 review matt , low riders have always been gr8 handling machines , it's that dyna gene lol . Have merry Christmas bro to you and your family , keep the sun on your back and the wind in your face mate cheers

Love mine, but also under 6ft haha. Agree that they rip from the factory, but with some basic work like cam/intake/pipe/injectors, they really take off. Its nearly funny how good they handle, you dont really expect them to handle better than a dyna/fxr but theyre really well designed. Could always do with more height but thats all harleys.

I just bought one, but not had much chance to ride in our UK winter :) I'm 6 foot and feel comfortable so far. Great review, loved your enthusiasm!

Good review. Bought a 2023 Black Lowrider ST from Gasoline Alley in Nov. Great bike, plenty of power. I've put some risers on it, slip ons and a seat, best harley I've ridden and im 6 foot. Performance options are great once ive run the warrenty out as well.

Loved it once again

"I'm sitting on a toilet." Great line.

Great review . I actually went to Sunshine Coast Harley and checked out all these great bikes. I’m 5’6 & this is so perfect for my height & size. Weight is a big difference between RD & SG . Just by moving the bikes from a standing seating position. So your review has really made me consider this Low Rider ST as my next bike & first HD. Nik From Darwin. Keep up your awesome reviews 👍

I'm 5'11 with my shoes on and from time to time I get a little cramp in my hip. But with these mid-controls, I'm able to stand up to alleviate the hip issue. I expected to get forward controls but after a few rides (especially on the twisties) I came to love the mid controls. Anyway, the power and torque on this bike is amazing. It's a rocket that should come with a seat belt. :) Love love love this bike. Oh, I should mention I have the S and not the ST (prefer the gauge on the S). Great review, bro! Keep up the great work!

Awsome review bro, pretty sure it is sport tourer, loved the bloopers at the end. And dad the rebel singlet and all haha. Can't wait for the next one.

Nicely done me Aussie mate, that bike looks good on you. I have a sport glide, with screaming eagle cam , tuner , basani road rage pipes , that's a beast as well. Anyway Merry Christmas to you guys down under, and happy New year

Great review. Beast bike.

I love my LRST, I sold my 636 and got on this. I’m right at 6’ and fits comfortably enough but I’m going to do 6.5 pull back risers and different seat. Aside from that, that’s all I really need to change for a little better rider triangle.

I"m only 5,9 and I felt the same way about the mid controls. I have a 2022 Heritage Classic with floor boards. I recently sat on a used one with forward controls, and it was WAY better. I almost traded in my Heritage for it.

Merry Christmas to you Matt and your family!!! John...

Still loving your videos mate, awesome how much you enjoy riding. Maybe do a new softy/ street bob. Keep up the good work 💪🏻💪🏻

definitely like the look

Another crackin review, proud of ya mate and all your doin, always fun helping out. Id be keen to put my KTM1290 up against a Pan America in a adv bike review? Keep up the legendary content 😂

I have both a Dyna Fat Bob and a ‘21 Lowrider S 114. Love both bikes. I hated the mids so put forwards on it. Recently extended forwards nd it’s a great relaxing ride for my legs. I thought of a bar and highway pegs but I really couldn’t bother. Great bike.

Probably the best all around bike they make. Needs highway pegs to stretch out on the longer days. Good video from Iowa USA.

Wow great vid mate!! yea forward control,s are good for us i am 6 foot. wow 117 wild!! have you done the fatbob softail yet?

On you're next review can we get a word counter for "bloody" 😂 Love the review legend, keep up the great work 👍

Another really exciting video Matt!!! I have thought about the Low Rider ST a lot. I thought I would fit on it better than my Breakout. Oh well... I've learned to ride the Breakout pretty good now. I'd like to see you review a Fat Boy next!!! Similar to the Breakout, but rather unique by itself too. I was cracking up how you described sitting on the Low Rider ST is like sitting on a toilet for a 6'3" rider. LOL Good job with the review Matt!!! Looks like you have other followers from the US too!!! John...

Nice work, great looking bike ,like you said not suited out of the box for a taller rider but I would have one for sure👍🏻🇦🇺

Good review Matty near stock does it all straight of the showroom floor but same thought when I test rode not designed for the 6ft + but killer bike for under that height 🤙😎

Well.done legend - Scotty

Love your vid’s and reviews, I’ve got new fatboy and id be keen for you to ride one and give a review, cheers!

Love the review. Do you know what front turn signal relocation kit was used? I just put an fxrt fairing on my sport glide. Can’t find what’s on there

Love me some bolt ons too mate, can't go wrong. How good is coming home for the Christmas break, pouring the perfectly mixed Golden Circle Fruit Cup cordial, ripping into a Kellogg's K-Time Baked Twist. Raspberry & Apple Flavour (obviously), and watching the latest Gnarly Harley Production. What an absolute ripper of a bike, might have to get myself one. Anyway, hooroo.

If I had to pick a new Softail, this would be it. Definitely made for shorter riders. Love that it has the 117, 2 into 1 pipes, & triple discs, & for a softail, plenty of cornering clearance. I'm not a fan of the fairing (Maybe a 1970s Kawasaki Z1 fairing would look nicer. Arlon Ness made something similar in the 80s) & I would probably prefer a change to drag bars. After 35 years riding, I bought my first bike with cruise control. I was converted straight away Maybe you need to start saving to buy a 2nd hand one in 6 to 12 months. Happy trails, Cowpoke

Long story short, I've only (previously) ever ridden 2 bikes. That being the 250cc Honda for the instructional course and my 2006 Harley Davidson Night Rod (I miss that bike). Last fall I decided to test ride a couple bikes, the Softail Standard, Street Bob and the Lowrider ST. I had just retested for my motorcycle license (old one expired years ago). So I wasn't sure what to expect when I tried these three. I decided to try the Softail Standard first (with the M8 107), figuring it would be the easiest sine it had the "smallest" engine of the 3. Oh boy lol. Letting out on the clutch almost threw me off, I got used to it pretty quick but it definitely surprised me. Then I swapped to the Street Bob (M8 114), and could already tell the difference and surprisingly enough it felt smoother than the 107. Then I decided to try the ST (M8 117). It was a night and day difference, I absolutely loved the ST. It felt even more smooth than the Street Bob, felt the additional power but I felt so much more in control. I realized I was laughing up a storm when I opened her up and got going. It was just so much fun. The only "downside" I have of it is the digital gauge. It really should be something else than a little 2" screen. Harley has much better screens on the Nightsters and Sportster S, so I don't know why they don't at least make those an option for their bigger bikes.

Absolutely love my LRST in the Fast Johnnie colour. With a S&S 475 cam , Supertrapp 2 into 1 with a Techno research tuner and tuned by Ducati Perth. Producing 118hp &. 134 ft pd of torque. Still scrape the pegs though

Yo Maaaate. Miss me? 😂 I had to step-off society for a coupla months.. the ET's just dropped me back home this mornin... fancy spaceship.. no probing either 🙃 Looks like I have a few vids to catch up on. THIS IS MY NEXT BIKE - have to sell the 2020 Breakout first tho. Ok.. I'll pause this and go back n catch up.. Tyre choice is 1st cab off the catch up rank. Cheers 🤙 Nart x

Looks really cool

Good on ya mate pump out those vlogs

Yeah I was just expecting a little scraping. Especially coming from 2013 Dyna Wide Glide. It fits me well , having ducks disease being only 5’6 haha

Enjoy the Black colour now... As black will now cost more from the dealership. Needs forward controls & passenger pegs.... Throw a crash guard on it with highway pegs. Also a tall sissy bar & taller bar & no stereo for me💪🖤🧡🖤💪 Merry Christmas 🎉🎁🎄🎁🎉to all. May all your days be Harley days. Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺

Ive got one, first year put twenty-five thousand miles on it. Not one single problem.

That’s my next bike. Love the TBR!!!! Gotta have the Rockford Fosgate speakers. They make a forward control kit. Update: finally test rode last week. Couldn’t pull the trigger since I owe too much on my trades.

I found the seating position awkward for about 5 minutes, got used to it pretty quick. I enjoy the way it sits now.

I'm 5'11" with big feet. I kinda like the mid controls. At high speeds, with forward controls my oversized size 14US feet blown off the pegs... to much surface area I guess. Above 80mph it is difficult for me to put my feet on the highway/crash bar just because of the wind.

when i test rode one, I was also very uncomfortable and felt really awkward about the seating position with the mid controls (I'm only 5ft9). So I ordered mine with forward controls and it is a sh!tload better however I'm still slightly uncomfortable with the height of the bars I feel like I'm reaching forward too far. I reckon I'll be putting higher bars or risers. PS a good S&S cam REALLY brings it alive

That Thang Is Sick🤢🤮! I Love It 💯💥

Curiosity, if you had to pick between the lowrider st and the breakout...which would you choose? Saw both reviews, but if you had only one, which would it be for you?

The bike needs a full color TFT display. The current gauge display looks like it came from a 1980's calculator. Unacceptable for a modern bike in Harley's price range not to have modern dash displays. All Harley has to do is use the Pan America's TFT

Love to see a review on the fatbob

Get one mate

Iv got one on the coast you should come take a look at, thrashin supply 10 inch risers, thrashin pegs, tbr exhaust, tune, forward controls,lay down plate,sadlemen seat tidy asf all in that estate😅

Sunshine coast vibe

Nearly bought the grey one, until I sat on it and lifted my feet to the pegs…..know exactly what you mean, so I rode out of Sunny Coast HD on a road king lol

Sweet intro!!! At least you can scratch your chin with your knees lol Forward controls for sure

Ride the fatboy ride the fatboy ride the fatboy lol stock is ok but if you find one for test ride with stage 2 exhaust and cam you will love it. Good to see you doing reviews mate. Lean angle is shit unless u have bags.

The 07 dyna in the back

Bro, when are you organising a ride?

Followed by holy crap!

Lol just after I offered you a go in mine 😂

I sure with Harley would put a 2 into 1 exhaust on it and make the bags symmetrical. It looks lame the way it is.

Would love to see a Fatboy review.

Should have never stopped making the dyna low rider.

Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

0-100 km ?

Sitting on a toilet, have to love it!

It kills sport bikes in regards to comfort, touring, storage, passenger comfort and uniqueness.

humm if you thing that your ST is fast how about 2.7 sec for the Triumph Rocket 3 GT you have to try it mate you never going back to Harley slow mo motorcycle trust me, try it.

Good looking bike but by no means a sport bike killer

$40,000.🤪

Please take a new fatboy for a run

Here in America we talk gallons & miles, so like… whatever man

That bike looks bad for long legs guys . max 5.5 " tall guys !! 😂😂🎉😢

You’re in that seating position because it’s a Harley sports bike as per your click bait😂

sportbike killer hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
