Bought a 2022 Low Rider S with the 117 ci. Man I’m in love every time I ride the thing. Always been a sport bike dude but man it’s something about this bike.
Can you please tell is it worth it ? I am about to buy one but i am ,like confused between for boy and low rider (Fat boy iss heavy) So like is it worrh it to buy one of these ? Or not ?
I love the Lowrider. Love the all black club look. I know it gets played out because everyone does the same thing with theirs but that’s why it’s a club look. I actually did the same with my Street Bob.
Nice one, you genuinely are trying to show how dire things of the countries and it's citizens. Economically and other aspects. At this time the future doesn't look good. First thing. About solving a problem is to acknowledge it. It's doesn't look like the media wants to do , I hope your channel expand and bring awareness and opportunity to people. ❤️.
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
Same here, I made $12,400 profits on investing since I started trading with Mrs Freddie martha her trading strategies are too notch am winning consistently trading with Mrs Fraddie martha. She really the best broker in UK right now, I've made a lot of profit investing with her.
After watching so many CZcams tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Ms Martha started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Ms Freddie martha . She has been a blessing to me and my. family.
Most of your criticisms are things you just become familiar with on Harley's. It's not necessarily a detriment, but rather a personality difference as far as I'm concerned. The look, sound and feel of it is the quintessential Harley. The M8 Harley's don't have near the vibration as Harley's of old. I consider them the last of the hot rod era. Classic styling with a cool sound but not nearly as powerful as modern bikes. I work off a Road King which weighs a few hundred more pounds than even the Softtails. Once you really learn to ride (I'm speaking of low speed control as opposed to commuting), you realize the weight is mostly insignificant because you use the bike's own power to control all that weight through the proper use of it's controls, counter balance, etc. Then when you go bike to a lightweight sportbike, you can really make it move around.
On the speedo, you learn the bike as you ride. Lost my speedo light and learned to know my speed by sound and feel (while counting gears.). I could see how some people wouldn’t be a fan, but some of us have made do with less 🤘🏻
Nice to see something different get reviewed. Ride a sport bike myself but gonna be in the market for a Harley soon as a second bike. The low rider s you rode had a lot of mods: Windshield, Pegs, Grips, Highway Pegs, Slip Ons etc. The down pipes are standard. So possibly not a fair reflection on what you might think of a brand new one. For me personally, I'm waiting till they join the technology train as they are hugely expensive for what you get for the money. In that way the Indian Chief is the better bike right now.
Indian isn’t a Harley. These Harley’s have all the tech they need. Jump now or forever hold your peace. They are forever bikes that you dump money in over a lifetime and you WANT to because it’s a love you attain when you own one. …Or not. Some don’t want to spend the money on it and that’s ok for them too. You DO get what you pay for. You buy a 20k bike and put 10k into it, you get a fast af bike that ALSO is comfortable and will retain its value and love forever.
Used to own a dyna low rider And they are heavy but that straight power is hard to beat But my favorite thing about Harley’s is it starts as a canvas to build on I had mine done the way I wanted and it was sad to see it go after my accident
as a HD owner, i have the same complaints about the seating position on the Low Rider S. ALOT of aftermarket goodies like seat/bars is a must to ride this comfortably. Which is why i ended up buying a Fat bob at the end of the day, the seating position on that bike is 1000000000000000x more comfortable and natural
Thats what drives me nuts about Harley they sell bikes knowing people are going to add all of the stuff that they should have sold the bike with highway pegs better seat better led lighting etc.
1. Vibration. Make sure tire pressure is on point. And there is a way to adjust suspension to weight. I bought mini floorboards. I also hate where the Speedo is located and hate that the new LRS has a digital speedo. Position of the controls. I had issues reaching as well. So I adjusted them down in order to have a more natural reach. I'm a 5.5 female. With a 2020 LRS. I absolutely love it. I slice through traffic. I love the long rides with mine. However! Once I can afford it. My next bike will be a MT-09. I can't wait. Thanks for the review!
Great review as usual, Chase. I have the silver version of this bike for sale in the Atlanta area if anyone is interested. Bought it for my wife and she decided she isn't into riding as much as being a passenger after only 800 miles. I also have the dyna version of this motorcycle and it just happens to mean more to me and I don't like seeing the softail (or any bike) go unridden. FWIW, the softail is faster and handles much better than the dyna.
Guys our height need a more forward control for better control. I think Blockhead has the most experience with this bike, he is 5'10 an has mid/forward controls. Not mid not all the way forward.
OC ! Old-school Harley all the way. The 96 cubic inch Fat Bob was the first bike I purchased after taking the MSF course at Harley back in 2010. Now I have a 2017 versus. Ride safe
I have a 2020 Low Rider S. I have a Bitwell 10 inch pull back riser using the stock handlebars. Added crash bars. Quick release Viking saddle bags. Willbe adding Vance and Hines Exhaust soon. Except for the weight of the bike I love it.
I have all biltwel on my 2020 low rider s punisher pegs stock windscreen stage 2 love my bike it handles awsome on the curves an I can keep up with 1000 liter bikes
Next Harley you should try for that "cruiser" experience is a Fat Bob. Dyna or Softail. Surprisingly agile for what it is, especially with those "forward" controls. The Dyna is, in true Spite fashion, much more visceral than its Softail counterpart, giving off the low end grunt one looks for and expects when riding the quintessential Harley.
OC - tough question there.. nothing will replace the M8 feeling and sound.. however, damn, that power on the Revo Max in a Pan Am... that is no joke.. if I had the money and had to make a decision right now, Pan Am would be in the garage.
Coming from a 96 fat boy to a 2020 bagger was such a huge difference in balance and braking. I REALLY had to plan my escapes on the older bike. Back brake would have me skidding way to easy. Most of your complaints I think are all changeable.
Dude stop using the Ultrawide mode on your go pro and use linear mode instead to get rid of the fish eye effect. Not everyone's eyes can handle those super stretched shots. 🙏🙏🙏
Started off on a Ninja 650 then moved up to a Daytona 675 then did the switch to a 2021 Lowrider S and I have to say, It will probably be a long time before I go back to sport bikes. Wish I would’ve done the switch before.
The fairing does come off you know. The FXLRS actually comes stock, with a mini, bikini, fairing that looks awesome! It just doesn’t actually DO anything. The fairing on that one is the Memphis Shades road warrior, not a Harley Davidson fairing. Everything else is quintessential Harley-Davidson which has made the Low Rider S one of the most popular Harleys today. I personally would love to ride that new engine (and I just purchased this LRS recently) but I’m not a fan of the sportster S and I’m not an ADV guy, so until they put it in something I could get on with, I’ll ride my M8 softail.
This is what I expected from a sport bike guy riding a Harley. That bike has been modified from factory with ohlins suspension. Should ride one long term to get a proper feel but it’s a good first ride for sure. Maybe go to a bagger racing league event and see how good these bikes can run.
OC, I want to see the revmax used in the softail or touring line. Not the complete lineup because I do believe Harley needs to keep air cooled options for the "purest" but it would be awesome to see them continue to expand where they use the revmax.
Think of the pegs as your knee sliders and cruisers become more fun, lol I rode sportbikes for about 15 years, worked at Deal's Gap in the kitchen flipping burgers for a while, got hurt in the TN mountains one night, and switched to cruisers the last few years due to my injuries. Cruisers just take some getting used to, but are fun in their own way. I like seeing peoples face when I hit the apex grinding pegs.
You'd actually have to ride the 16-17' dyna LRS to experience the truly "old school harley" version. The new softail LRS feels like a Honda compared to the twin cam version.
I did test ride the low rider s and I agree on every single point you mentioned. It's very heavy, the seating position is odd, it has several downfalls but still there is something special about it. It looks super nice, it has a special coolness factor, it"s customizable, in the lineup of Harley I find it to be the coolest bike, also in terms of money vs value. Now I'm stucking, should I go with Harley or not? I'm a Ducati guy so far and for doing it all, a bike like the Multistrada would surely be the most reasonable decision.
Thanks for your comment. Your the first person I’ve seen to say something negative about the weight. I’m 50/50 on one, just because my local shop has one for $12k on clearance. Trying to decide if the bike is all the hype.
OC: I have both a 2011 "built up" dyna street bob (106hp/122tq) and a 2020 z900 and can honestly say that dyna wouldn't keep up with the Z if you rode it off a cliff BUT from what I have notice the Kawi doesn't even get a second glance from most people......just sayin
I own a 21' LRS. I road mine to an Indian Demo day and got to try out an FTR Carbon, and Chief Dark Horse. As they were demo bikes, I imagine they get romped on alot. That being said, the Indians felt cheap compared to my HD LRS. The Chief Dark Horse is a similar price point and felt like a much cheaper motorcycle. When I was finished testing those out, I got back on my LRS and felt very happy with my choice.
@@Everendlesss I will say, that the finishing on the harley is better, but when I went to the chief launch, I have to say, the engineering is better. at least IMO. the powerplant, the braking, it all seemed more thoughtful and outshined the harley in that regard
OC - vrod owner soo I prefer the new max.. dad has a 1200 sportster and been on a few other baggers from HD. but I like the low end tq but the ability to rev a bit more.. and I know with the M8s you can get them to rev just takes a good amount of work done not out of the box. keep trying new things. cheers.
Watching this and had to go back and watch his fury ride. Taking about a bike that hasn't changed in a while I say see if you can get your hands on a Vulcan 900. Basically Kawasaki's version of the fury where if it ain't broke don't fix it. Love to get a real comparison of the two bikes
I like both the old school classic air cooled v-twin engine (not necessarily every bike style they make) and the new stuff. I like the Sportster S but it's definitely going after a certain style. It doesn't look like something you'd want to commute on with any kind of regularity. To me, it just seems kind of like a "meet up" drag style bike. I look forward to some of the spin offs from it though. I think the Pan America is a winner as well.
I ride a GSX and shoot photography for Indian. Harleys are great, just over priced. The 2000s Dyna with the 96ci hits a sweet spot, I have to admit. Possibly one of the best overall packages for less than 10k, if braking and other nerdy track crap doesn't matter. I've even ridden bikes from actually Hollywood movie sets. The Dyna softail or wide glide is worth every penny of their asking price. This bike also fits that niche, but at a brutal price point. Sincerely, -Guy that literally hates Harleys.
Im only 5'10" and these new softails are just too cramped unless you go to forwards, which defeats the purpose of a "performance" harley. Wish the dyna seating position would have transferred to the new softail chassis better.
Bike must be set up for a short rider. You look cramped. I love the bike in general. All the limitations you talk about are due to your unfamiliarity with riding a heavier bike. Ride one for a week and you’ll be good.
Oc: I love the old school Harleys, ive been surrounded by Harley soft tails for a while, my Dad rides an ‘06 Harley Night train, and his buddies all ride Breakouts and other soft tails. Theres just something about them that just, clicks with me….but i ride a 2004 Suzuki DRZ400sm Because im different
*new school Harley not old school need a twin cam to feel the old school the new m8s are smoother and different really need to try a twin cam dyna or a fxr to feel what a old school Harley feels like
All the things you said you don’t like is custom fit/ adjustable for your taste… that is what Harley-Davidson is all about plus excellent fit and finish ( less plastics)…. I will tell you a truth .. there no Harley-Davidson bike that a customer can ride right out of showroom… every single harley need minimum 3 things to change( seat , handlebar, foot position + pegs)…
OC: Give me the new engines and new platforms. I can appreciate what the old school Air cooled bikes are. But I don’t think they’re really practical in today’s market.

Probably one of the best bikes Harley makes

Old school Harley....with keyless ignition 😂
You gotta ride it different than a sport bike. Power on a Harley is in the torque in the bottom half of the rev range not at the top
Tasteful mods for a used bike, was expecting skulls or crucifix shaped mirrors
This isn't 2005 anymore...
Harleys are top heavy because their cylinder heads are so tall. Lots of weight up high by the gas tank.
@HahrtDood I like riding japanese cruisers because they have shorter cylinder heads and a lower COG. They feel better balanced and not top heavy.
You'd actually have to ride the 16-17' dyna LRS to experience the truly "old school harley" version. The new softail LRS feels like a Honda compared to the twin cam version.

I'm pretty sure the 'forward foot pegs' you used is actually a crash bar. I mean I'm sure they are used for that a lot though.
It is a crash bar/frame slider. Any highway pegs I have ever seen looked like actual pegs.
The kickstand is my only complaint.
I am thinking of getting my first cruiser. Can you please do a review of the 2022 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom please?!?! 🙏🙏🙏
Don’t do it
@@Anonymou5gh0st bad choice?
Im only 5'10" and these new softails are just too cramped unless you go to forwards, which defeats the purpose of a "performance" harley. Wish the dyna seating position would have transferred to the new softail chassis better.
You have virtually no experience of riding a large harley. Should you be on it. I have a 22 low rider s and it's bloody awesome.
I have the same bike with a s&s 475 cam and I get 120hp and 120tq at the wheel! I'm also getting an extra 3k rpms out of each gear!
Did you only made the cam to it and pushrods to achieve such dyno Numbers?
@V8pulley No I've got aftermarket air cleaner kit, 2 into 1 exhaust, Tuner, Cam, oil pump, lifters, adjustable pushrods an cam plate.
Okay, so the typical S&S stage 2. Thanks man
I wave at all the guys on sport bikes simply because when I rode sport bikes they never waved at me. Lol
It's called the S for sport..hence the pegs being in a funny position...still not bad for a naked bike
Bike must be set up for a short rider. You look cramped. I love the bike in general. All the limitations you talk about are due to your unfamiliarity with riding a heavier bike. Ride one for a week and you’ll be good.
Oc: I love the old school Harleys, ive been surrounded by Harley soft tails for a while, my Dad rides an ‘06 Harley Night train, and his buddies all ride Breakouts and other soft tails. Theres just something about them that just, clicks with me….but i ride a 2004 Suzuki DRZ400sm Because im different
OC: Definitely gotta say old school Harley Davidson for me. Wish they could bring back the knucklehead in a new bike.
The power is awesome but harley always keeps offering boat anchors with wheels. Then expect you to pay premium for the basics which sucks butt!
Test ride a Big Dog K9. 👍
*new school Harley not old school need a twin cam to feel the old school the new m8s are smoother and different really need to try a twin cam dyna or a fxr to feel what a old school Harley feels like
Is a road glide next
this is my favorite Harley i love the club style buttttt the sportster s seems awesome! OC
All the things you said you don’t like is custom fit/ adjustable for your taste… that is what Harley-Davidson is all about plus excellent fit and finish ( less plastics)…. I will tell you a truth .. there no Harley-Davidson bike that a customer can ride right out of showroom… every single harley need minimum 3 things to change( seat , handlebar, foot position + pegs)…
OC: Give me the new engines and new platforms. I can appreciate what the old school Air cooled bikes are. But I don’t think they’re really practical in today’s market.
Wait what!? Chase no longer wears a red icon helmet!? 🤔
Should review a Indian scout
What exhaust??
You are such a lightweight.
Good looking bike but I also am not a big fan of the body position
OC: neither 😬
Nice bike 👍
Oc I still really want ether the R6 or the mto 7
LMAO.......was thinking the same thing. "Cool bike....hate that fairing!" @ 16:20
