Sweet Bike This Might Be My First Harley i Buy...Thanks For Nice Review.
Super glad to hear that man! Glad you enjoyed the ride and review 👍🏼
I got my hands on the 2020. You won't be disappointed!
The Standard's beauty is its clean and simple design. I just love it. For me, I checks so many boxes to own.
Yeah definitely top 3 favorite cruisers so far for me!
Yes that comment about the foot peg is correct, when i rode my new one from the dealer i nearly fell over at the lights ! took my right foot off and went to put it down and it hooked up on the end of the rest just for a second but it was a heart stopper, anyway that's the only ride i did with the bike in it's standard form...Soon as i got it back most things were ripped off and changed including forward controls which stopped the foot catching the footrest thing as well as making it go and sound like it should, if you buy one of these make sure you have £3000 ready to make it yours.
Haha yeah definitely didn't feel natural at first!
What mods did u do? I just bought a 22
Thanks for the review. Looking to add this one to the garage.
I think its the nicest looking stock standard harley. And the fact its only a few dollars more than a sportster or atleast here in australia is insane
It is a very slick motorcycle in my opinion and it holds a nice profile on the road also!
True that. Lotta motorcycle for 20k Au. I'm in NZ so similar price. Have you ridden one yet?
Thank you so very much for the review and much much more for quoting your mom.
👍❤️
Forsure! I look forward to getting back to these
Great review.
Solid review, very informative. Subscribed!
Thank you!
Like this soft tail standard - thanks for the ride.
Yessir 👌🏽
Good review video. Subd... good luck hitting 1k bro..
Man I really appreciate the support thanks bro!
Bike is Beautiful
A "great beginners bike" it's not. A 125cc or similar is more like it. But I do like the ending walk-around footage - gives a good amount of various perspective input.
From southern California ~ Ride Forever!
I had a look at two of these new at Wolverhampton Harley Davidson in the UK and liked them, though the footrest positioning made my hips ache. Maybe it's just a getting used to thing?
I wish someone would ride on bumpy roads so people could see how the suspension works.
I can say the suspension on this was smooth over bumps. The sportster 48 not so much
Only been riding for 2 years now i think? Yeah lol well anyway my 1st bike was a Harley sportster iron 1200. Classic "true" Harley feel. But after a while not having a 6th gear and the vibration anything above 50mph just got soooooo old. Suspension didn't help either along with picking way too loud of an exhaust, vance & Hines big radius. They sounded amazing but after 20 mins my ears were ringing. Traded the sporty in for a 2020 softail standard and it was amazing. Got myself a bassani road rage short 2into1 stainless exhaust which screams when you twist that throttle but nice n mellow for cruising. Going the performance route on my bike, got some risers with dirt bike inspired handlebars ready to instal. Just gotta figure out the suspension upgrades and engine work.
I just bought one of these Friday. The bike is fantastic. To be honest I was actually happy to have a quiet exhaust for once lol. Suspension is amazing. I with ya with comfort and performance now.
I can 100% understand where you are coming from on that trade in. I did a 2021 softail standard recently and I loved the bike after being on it for about 5 minutes. Very good looking motorcycle and a smooth ride!
Yeah I was extremely impressed with the suspension compared to the other low profile HDs
@@thefishingbiker4627 yeah the plan was to keep the sporty for a while but after owning it for a year I got really sick of it. Should have got the MT07 honestly, spent so much money on the bike and felt like I got ripped off honestly, the bike sucks. I'm never buying a new Harley again until they get their shit together, todays prices with yesterday's technology. Only reason i was able to trade the iron 1200 in for the standard was luck.
@@drearaujoa6 Yeah the suspension over the sportster is amazing. For cruising that is, from a performance standard point its pretty ass. The mono shock is stiff, yet the front end is squishy. The brakes are absolutely terrible lol
Good test ride! I pick mine up next week, I also have mostly sport bike experience (‘04 ZX6R, ‘12 R1) and wanted to try out a cruiser coming back to motorcycles.
The fact that is so simple was a huge draw to me.
Sold my 21 zx6r and bout a 22 softail, best decision ever
Nice! A fellow arkansan! My brother just bought a 48 from the same dealer used. Ill be going for my softail soon enough :)
Hate that I missed your comment! Need to grt back active on this channel again but thanks for the comment 👌🏽 hopefully you got that softail by now!
Was following an empty bed pick up one day. His one piece bed/tub liner lifted and jut missed me as it came out. So even empty there a hazard.
Классный мотоцикл! Хочу себе такой купить !!!
Love this bike! Totally need one. Are you using the Hero 9 in 4k? This is thr best content ive seen.
Thanks brotha! This is a GoPro Hero8 with a chin mount off ebay. Using the media mod and a purple panda lavileer mic!
@@thefishingbiker4627 you rule! I’ll Sub
@@jayteesgear sweet thank you!
Have had 2 softails... fantastic bikes! I just traded back into a full bagger cruiser for all the long road trips I'm doing.. nothing like an HD touring bike for covering the miles.
Had to sub since I'm over in Fort Smith. The folks that own Rock City just bought out Old Fort HD too.
Love the engine hate the tank and speedo.Would look ok with a 18 litre fatbob tank with a speedo in the middle.
yes nice bike but the tank belongs on a 1978 honda cb 350
Add some crash bars, a windshield and forward controls and this will be one sweet bike.
No doubt!
This bike fits the image I have of a bobber too a T, the only thing missing from my image is fork gators, forward controls and some V&H Short Shots
Which bike do you currently have?
Checkout my buddys channel @BIG GUY Little World he's got a dodge truck
@@thefishingbiker4627 Right now I have a 2006 Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit. Great bike, but time for me too sell. My first ever bike was a 2001 Shadow 750, turned that into a bobber. Still my favorite bike I've ever owned. Then I had a Sportster 883. I'm definitely getting a Softail Standard in the next couple months.
thanks for this video. Looking to enter the Harley realm and really like the look/design of this one. Appreciated your comment(s) on how it is a good transition bike into the Harley Brand.
Note to wife - beware of eager husband wanting cool Harley.....
Haha thanks man! I appreciate the feedback and support
Something to consider. I bought my first HD a few years back. Did 12 months research and decided to look for a low mileage, original 90s EVO FXD. Strong engine....none of the issues the twin cam have...and they are affordable and will hold value unlike these later bikes. You also get the pleasure of being able to do your own maintenance.
They are not a fast bike but that's what spirt bikes are for. I'm going to test one of these though as it's a big block for the price of a sportster
love your reviews, just want to be blunt here.
if you aren't a Harley driver, why review them? is the motivation to give non Harley riders an understanding of what to expect ?
I ask because sometimes I seek the advice of experts in a bike to see if its worth it for me, but I guess if I'm only used to cruisers and I want to go for a GXS-R, I could see how someone who doesn't drive them reviewing it would help as well.
Like the bike. I have a 2022 Street Bob version. Your comments about the controls and bars are dead on.
As the affordable that this Harley Softail Standard is you put a stage 3 kit on it is still a it have pretty good payments!!!👍
No doubt! Definitely a sweet bike!
@@thefishingbiker4627 the Softail Standard been a lighter bike Screamin Eagle stage 3 kit you know it would really make that bike move out pretty good!! Really like your videos and great content and definitely will be looking forward to watching more of your videos👍
Dude I could only imagine 🤣 thanks brother I appreciate that!
skip the payments man and paycash! making payments is sooo 1990s
i loved the video would this be good for a 59 year oldwoman beginner???? help
How did the ergonomics work? How tall are you? And did the bike feel cramped?
I am 6'2 I did not feel cramped at all.
Looks like it might have inverted forks.
what is even the difference between the 21 and 23, I got a 23 and it's identical
I couldn't tell the difference I haven't been on the new ones. I couldn't imagine a ton of difference tbh
More info on handling characteristics would have been good ... just didn't feel I got much info at all.
Characteristics like wat? I didn't want to put information that van be found online I wanted more of a true ride and review.
Commentary on some of the observations were kind aired. Especially the pegs being too wide that his foot didn’t slide off. Kinda weird
Try to have little more info about the bikes you test and how it feel to drive compare to how tall you are. And talk about thing you not like with the bikes to 🙂
Thanks for the feedback and for being my 750th sub!!
cruicer para principiantes? no estoy de acuerdo
I can't understand my friend.
What boots are those
Ariat Work boots. I think I got them at Bass Pro
I wish Harley Davidson would consider renaming this bike the Softail Classic rather than the absurd standard. The word standard belittles the bike. Classic be much better ie classic Harley full of shiny bits. Its basically a Street Bob without the fork boots and usb port when all said and done.
Yeah I actually agree with that. It does sound more modern and up to date rather than a basic standard motorcycle.
Hi! I totally agree with you! I think that "Street Bob Classic" would be a better name.
hmmm sounds like a Honda
