    Reasonable review but you didn’t even demonstrate or mention one of the key features of the Sport Glide, that being the quickly detachable panniers and fairing that transform the bike from a light duty tourer into a standard looking cruiser!

    How can you get used to one hot leg over a period of time? To answer my own question, you don't. The Scrambler is a posing bike that can't really do off-road and not that good on road, which it fine as it's a handsome machine yet the Speed Twin is a decent road bike but lacks that little extra. Give it some better suspension to make it a really good road bike for B-road hooning. Tarnished pipes...Are you aware how bloody hot the gases are exiting the cylinders. This reviewer does not give me confidence.

    I love the old British singles, built in for reliability, & economical to use. Having a long stroke, gives these old bikes lots of bottom end grunt. Most modern bikes are short stroke & high revving, these days. Today, young people seem to put speed before the pleasure, or is it the manufacturers who build into these bikes: "planned obsolescence??? High revs, short life! Personally, I would love to own a BSA, M21. Which can be stroked up to 650cc.

    EFi on bikes is something I haven't tried. 961 2nd gen will get less expensive so till then I'll leave it to people who can't live without one. Design team did a great job but hobbled by regs. Notice they talk about horsepower, torque is what matters and it doesn't really stack up there.

    Sorry guys, I tried all the new stuff, but I will stick with my 92 evo springer. Took it to the USA in 94 for a month. Never let me down. 100k on the clock and still going strong. All you need to enjoy the ride is a bike, not a play station on two wheels. Old school I guess at 72 years. Been riding Harleys since the AMF days when you had to tighten things up every time you stopped.

    The C25, had high comp piston, & could be a bad starter. Change piston to power max 8.5 to 1, no more problems. Personally I liked the C11G plunger. It had a longer wheelbase than the C15 with a lower seating position. Also the old M21 side valve, with tall gearing would be great for runs. As you can tell by my choices, I have a few more years under my belt. Thanks for your run down of BSAs, we are happy as people have kept these old bikes going in for us to enjoy today. Thanks again, 🇬🇧🔧😀

      I don’t think Americans got the sportglide when it came out it didn’t get the 114 engine as an option and it was the most European type of bike in the range. The company dropped it a couple of years ago in America and I don’t think it has much of a future elsewhere as the bike is getting no attention in terms of upgrades ,colour matched pannier shells is about it and the colour choices of black and primer grey isn’t that inspiring . Personally out of the softail range it is the one I would buy I just wish it came in a better range of colours.

    I'm 65, and going back the XLCR have a long history of liking Harleys that go on to be market flops. This Sport Glide is the latest one. It seems that any combination of sportiness and practicality is showroom death. Is this really a 2024 model? Here in Canada it's no longer available. It's pretty much been replaced by the Low Rider ST. I prefer this version with 2 into 1 exhaust, lower bag position, and smaller fairing. Oh, and I like the red boots too.

      Harley use the same engine and chassis throughout their softtail range. They just mix and match bits to produce a different variety. This bike has road glide/ Street glide panniers, a Heritage Classic gas tank and instruments, street Bob rear lights standard softtail frame and the now almost obsolete 107 cui version of the M8 motor. If a particular configuration doesn't sell no loss because all Harley bikes are out of same parts bins.
