In this video, I go over some of the reasoning behind why I traded in my Iron 883 and upgraded to the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S.
Here's a run down:
1.) This bike just looks sick. Black and gold... it's stylish, sleek, and menacing! Top marks on the design note.
2.) The POWER! Seriously tons of power on demand from the 110 cubic inch power plant they've dropped into this thing. You can cruise and take it easy if you want, or twist the wrist a bit more and unleash it's inner monster!
3.) Finances: They gave me quite a bit for my trade in and came down to what I was asking + hooked it up! (Warranty, gift card, and more!) They really took care of me and worked with me to send me home with this bike!
4.) Aftermarket options: As with most Harley's, there's a ton of aftermarket options to customize the bike and make it your own. I've already done Bassani exhaust, V&H FP3, LED signals, LED Daymaker style Headlight, swingarm bag, headlight grille, and I've got a box of goodies in the garage just waiting to go on to continue the customization!
5.) The feeling of the bike / handling! I love the fact that vs other Low Riders, the Low Rider S comes with the 110, drag bars, and mid controls. As per my previous bike, I'm a fan of drag bars and mids. To me, it makes the bike feel more sporty, and it feels just as nimble as the Sportster... just with an 1800cc engine instead. It's like a Sportster, but on steroids... it's a total beast.
A few of my additional thoughts and likings on the Low Rider S:
- Dyna platform, tried and proven
- 6 Speed transmission! Awesome for interstate and highway runs!
- The 110ci engine has been in Harley's line up for 10 years in the CVO models, so they're not a new production engine, meaning less bugs and problems to work out of them.
- Good stopping power w/ the dual disc brakes
- Keyfob, awesome, just get on and go!
- Cruise control & ABS!
- Security system
- As much as I didn't like it at first... the headlight fairing! Really helps w/ the wind on longer rides, don't take wind to the helmet near as much.
I'm sure more will come up, and I'll be sure to update the channel as they do, but that's some of my thoughts on the bike for now!
Edit: Special shout out to Ethandobad on iG for the info on the bike before I purchased it!
