Today we're taking the beautiful retro style Harley Davidson Sportster 72 XL1200V out for a ride and review. I'll do a brief review on the bike while sharing my likes, dislikes, and opinions. I'll also discuss how much these bad boys go for on the used market as well as some of their counterparts. Join us to see what the old school cool sportster is all about! Oh yeah, we'll do a brief history lesson as well on why the Sportster 72 is named the 72 (spoiler, it's not because of the year).

@dylanprodigypainting 5 лет назад

I've always loved sportsters. I like the 72's and the 48's for newer models. But I really like the 105th and 110th anniversary editions. Something about the paint schemes, badges, and the collectors aspect of them being numbered bikes. I just bought my first sportster a couple months ago. 2008 105th anniversary 1200L 1 of 2000 ever made. That copper color is so damn fine! I will never get rid of this bike.

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

Heck yeah! Congrats on the new sportster! Yeah, anniversary editions are definitely nice, and hard to come by!

@getoffmygrass6974 5 лет назад

Owned a brand new 2017 '72' denim black and did a ton of work to it, even got rid of that plastic on the frame, made custom tank risers with a wire tuck. Sexiest bike I've ever owned and got a ton of compliments but with that skinny 21" on the front plus my Burley slammers which were for a Dyna (looked better and could absorb more weight) it was absolutely horrible on the highway and stopping for gas every 100 miles gets old. As for a bar hopper, it's perfect.

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

I have to see pics of that 72! Sounds SICK! But yeah, definitely not a long haul bike for all the above mentioned reasons.

@kalebproductions9316 4 года назад

Mine is the Lucky Green. It doesn't make sense that it has forward controls. I replaced the fuel tank with a 4gal Indian Larry style dimpled tank. I've had mine for about 6 years now and I love it. I also have a tour seat I swap out. I took it all the way from Denver to New Orleans and back again.

C'mon Jon, you need to step it up a bit. You can obviously clear 2 bikes with that awesome front flip of yours. Your hold'n back on us.

I would never ride or own a bike like that because it’s just not my style, but.....it’s extremely, EXTREMELY, super cool looking!! I absolutely LOVE the styling of that bike!! I’m a brand new rider at 52! I just got my first bike, a 2020 iron 883. I thought I was just buying a cool looking, comfortable feeling (to me at least) affordable, smaller displacement Harley Davidson? Little did I know I was actually buying controversy on two wheels!!?? Rarely have I seen a single motorcycle be so polarizing! The people who hate it are almost venomous in their disdain for it, while those who love it do so in spite of its flaws. Then there are those who just put up with it. The motorcycle community is different. Very strong opinions everywhere! I definitely agree with you about the roadster though. I haven’t ridden one yet but on paper it sounds great! I definitely want to check that bike out. I also prefer the mid controls and like the feeling of being on top of a bike vs inside a bike.

@timcarter7616 Год назад

Those pipes sound good and not too loud. I have a '14 Orange. I put a sort of uglier seat on it, the stock one wasn't for an old dude like me. I bought the 72 because I don't ride far, just nice rides in the country mostly and its old time lines sucked me in. Lots of chrome while so many go for the blacked out style. On a sunny afternoon it really flashes. I used Arlen Ness brackets to move the turn signals to the lower tree, Rush pipes with DK customs 606 AF and use the stock cover. DK external breather set up. Got rid of the high oval mirrors. It only has one round one, again for the old time vibe. I like it but the riding position doesn't strafe corners too good. Mine pulls real hard through the mid range, it seems pretty quick.

@mickangio16 10 месяцев назад

I always preferred plain round mirrors because I found myself always adjusting my contoured or rectangle shaped mirrors to make them even at stoplights instead of watching everything that was going on around me. I also preferred cheap mirrors, handles, grips, and footpegs as opposed to expensive & gaudy parts in case of dropping- not that I ever had problems with that, but it DOES happen from time to time.

@motomattman1878 5 лет назад

Your review of the Sportster 72 was spot on! One of my bikes is a '97 Sportster 1200 custom, great bike! If I'm taking a long ride though, I take a different bike. My wife can ride all day on her Sporty with a springer seat though. I don't know how she does it, 10 minutes on her bike with that seat and everything from the waist down goes numb for me. lol If I tried flips over my Sporty, the blooper reel would have included scenes with the rescue squad!

@1SaG 4 месяца назад

Still a thing of beauty - especially with that factory applied flake paint-job. Can't believe anyone would've ordered this thing with that black denim paint. I know the whole bike is somewhat antiquated and not at all cutting-edge WRT tech - plus the 72 is not even my favorite look for the XL1200 , but *this* is what a H-D should look and sound like. Just watching the video makes me want to go out and ride one - something that's definitely not happening for me with any of their new "Sportsters".

@brandonboe2286 3 года назад

Dude that was one of the best models Harley ever made since the old Ironheads. About the closest they came to a Frisco bobber. IMO they kill all their best models 72, Rocker C, Breakout. I don't even like any of Harleys lineup anymore.

@nymrhyde 4 года назад

Had the same bike but gold flake. Had the same chipping on the rear fender. Did stage 1 to it and that thing ripped! Woke the bike up so much. I agree. You wouldn’t want to ride it on a long ride. On the highway it sucked bad. Over 65 it felt like it was going to death wobble. Seat sucks for sure and fuel capacity sucked! Got about 70 miles to a tank. Overall if you’re going to just bomb around town it’s a super fun bike.

Heck yeah! The 883 definitely is the way to go for starting out, and still plenty of power to keep you entertained. The iron 883 is still on my list for dopest looking bikes from the factory. Hard to beat.

@@JonsMotoGarage Are those stock pipes in the video? My 72 came with really loud pipes. I would like them to be mellow but rumbling, if that's possible. Thanks! Loved the vid.

I'm not a big fan of EFI but the 72 looks good. I'm partial to the yellow, whatever the actual name of the shade is. Almost bought one a while back, but like I said, not a fan of EFI.

@carlosaohouston1793 5 лет назад

2 things 1) Sportster 1200's are sooooo dope, especially the bobbed 48 2) are you really Mexican ?? You sounded Chicano in the last video where you asked the guy "where's the clutch !?!?" Hahaha !!!

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

Hecks yeah! I'm a huge fan of the 48 as well! I'm a wannabe latino by all accounts. Lol. I lived in Argentina for a few years and had a nice porteno accento when I came home. However, the accent now adapts depending who I'm talking to. But the mexican is definitely the most prevalent if I'm not thinking about it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@kaishaku83 5 лет назад

It I had to choose, a Roadster or a Nightster would be the Sporty for me. But I'd prefer to keep my Dyna, of course ^_^

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

We're on the same page there for sure! I've been on the lookout for a nightster as a back up for the wheelie game, but they're becoming harder and harder to come by.

@bobsethbroc 5 лет назад

Cool bike for sure, springer front would look great on there. Where did you get the ant-man helmet? Badass helmet too.

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

Oooh, the springer would look pretty sick! hahaha...ant-man helmet, that's awesome! It's a Simpson Ghost Bandit. I picked it up on OfferUp on the cheap. The dude used it once or twice and then they came out with the modular option so he wanted that. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe, bro!

@UnrulyRider 5 лет назад

72 looks sweet man! Bringing up the Roadster reminded me to look up what will all be needed to get a set of the Roadster wheels onto my Dyna, I'm tired of seeing Low Rider wheels when going twin disc brakes - gonna try something a little different. Nice flip over the 72 as well, I probably would have knocked the bike over and hurt myself in the process, age has definitely been creeping up on me as I start noticing the tolls my body has taken due to the wear and tear over the years.

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

Yeah, I hear ya for sure. Age has a way of reminding us who's boss. Lol. Let me know what you discover on the roadster wheels. That'd be cool.

It’s just cause the front tire size get a little bigger front tire and it should lessen it a whole lot

Hey I’m thinking about getting my first bike and looking at the gear do you wear motorcycle boots or just regular boots

@JonsMotoGarage 5 лет назад

Truth be told I'm probably the worst example when it comes to wearing proper gear. I definitely encourage that all riders do it though. I picked up the boots/shoes from H&M. Definitely not built with riding in mind, but better than your avg sneakers. I rarely get out and do long rides these days, but I do have riding boots that I use when I do. The importance of proper gear can't be stressed enough though. I need to get better at using it. Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck with your first moto purchase! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

@blakes2382 5 лет назад

SaberCos1 I’ve owned my motorcycle for almost a year now and tbh just wear whatever is comfortable for you, obviously just ride more carefully if you don’t have the “proper” gear, I only ever rock a half helmet, hoodie, jeans, and sneaks🤟
