Harley-Davidson Softail Standard Review, 2021 107, is this the best value for money Harley!? A2 Bike

- In this video I tell you everything you need to know about the 2021 Harley Davidson softail standard, how does it ride, how good are the brakes, is it good value for money?
This Harley really is a fantastic motorcycle and I don’t have many complaints about it, I talk about all the torque this bike has to offer and how that makes the ride feel. Harleys aren’t about lots of power but this still has plenty of it, although now it’s restricted it’s not got so much…
This bike is my own personal bike that I have just purchased, I talk about what it’s like to ride a big A2 Restricted Harley and if it’s worth doing if you are thinking about getting it done!
I also talk about upcoming customisation I plan like a new set of exhaust pipes and a rear pillion pad.

This is the closest to a video any one of us average bikers would make, so it is very easy to relate to it. No brainwashing, no crap marketing, but facts from first hand. Thank you and enjoy your new beauty
Thank you buddy, much appreciated!
A wise man once told me, "bhp is all about how fast you hit a wall, torque is all about how much of the wall you take with you". I just bought a Lowrider S, waiting for forward controls from HD, I'm not tall but old, the legs don't bend so well. Keep getting the smiles per mile.
Excellent! Yes absolutely! Enjoy your ride 💯
@Leon Wilcox I drove trucks for 35 years, in that time the engines got bigger and bigger. 240 bhp for a series B ERF in early 1980s 32 tonnes, max weight then a few years later 38 t then 42t now 44t to 530bhp when I retired last year, not the biggest engines to be found in trucks just ordinary workhorses which many haulage companies chose, all of them had mind blowing acceleration if no trailer attached, The problem wasn't low bhp it was speed limiters, 62mph mid 80s 56 mph later and now many hauliers limit to 54mph to save fuel. Plenty of bhp but too much load and legislation is the real problem
Jeez an old man driving a 300kg bike? Colour me impressed.

My 2003 softail standard twin cam has about the same hp number as your 2021 detuned bike! It’s plenty. Mine arrived with Vance and Hines straight pipes that were too loud. I put the stockers back on for that HD sound. It’s a low rumble that shakes the ground without blowing out my ears. Perfect!
I have a 2020 Softail Standard. I like my Sundowner seat. It’s comfortable and not so steeped so I can slide back to stretch my legs. It’s less expensive than most of the aftermarket seats. I love the bike.
I think many people will wake up to what a great motorcycle this really is (thanks to these videos). This has to be, as you point out, the Harley that provides the most value for money. Love the wheels with chrome spokes. Black and chrome just look right. A timeless machine. Already a classic. And that powerful V-Twin engine!! - Looking forward to the next Harley-Davidson Softail episodes. Excellent bike choice in my view.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, I just love your videos. They have helped me with my last two bike purchases: my 2019 H-D Heritage and most recently my 2018 Honda Gold Wing (yes, a year older than my Harley, but, wow, what a machine!). Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks buddy, glad our vids have helped you out! Appreciate it!
Torque is power, it is what HP is derived from; Torque * RPM/5151 = HP. The key is that most people aren't riding around at 8,000 RPM, so a Harley at 2500 RPM is producing more HP at that RPM than the vast majority of Bikes on the road. Max HP is a marketing scam. It is only reaches at one point in the rev range that is almost never achieved. Torque is the gift that keeps giving
Yes absolutely 👍🏼👍🏼
I have been waiting for this video for months (or it felt like that haha), and it has definitely paid off. Your channel is the one I follow the most in YT right now. Great talk, best bikes and such peaceful scenary. A massive thank you for your content. Tomorrow new HD reveal!
Thank you buddy really appreciate it! Yes can’t wait to see the new model!!!
Could not agree more….
Nice simple video. No frills. No sales pitch. Just an honest review. I'm looking at returning to bikes after 26 years.Passed my test back in the 80's and spent 6 years as an instructor in the 90's.Stopped riding when I met the Mrs,so miss being on a bike.Had the big sports bikes and sports tourers CBR1000,ZX10,Z1000MK2.Also had a GS850 Rat bike and a GS550 Rat bike .Plus the usual GSX250R , GSX250, GP100 small cc stuff. Always wanted a Harley so I have been looking at the 2022 version with the MAG wheels and one with a Custom Paint job .After watching this I am convinced this is the bike I need. Also nice to see a bike being reviewed in my local area rather than on the big open roads of the USA. Thought it might be a bit big for the Leicestershire/Rutland roads.Just need to persuade the Mrs to let me have one. Wish me luck.
Good luck buddy, it’s a brilliant machine. And certainly not to big for the roads around here. It’s still fun in the corners, thanks for watching!
The mpg figure would likely be quoted for US gallon.
Imperial mpg would be much higher.
Yeah 45-48 mpg is at least double a regular car
Congrats on passing your test & may you have many happy miles on the new bike.
I’ve had my Street Bob for just over three years now & I still love it. In more than forty years of riding it’s the bike that still puts the biggest grin on my face (though the 50cc Honda Cub I bought in 1980 runs it a close 2nd; seriously).
Got to agree with you on the marketing of your bike: should definitely have been named the ‘Street Bob Classic’, for that’s exactly what it is: a 107 SB with the classic black ‘n’ chrome look.
Thanks mate, precisely glad you agree. And what a fantastic bike they are! Glad you like the street bob still!
Understand the history of this model. In the mid 2000’s the standard was the entry level Softail in Harley’s lineup. You could upgrade to the Custom which gave you a black engine with polished cooling fin ends and a lot more chrome (I owned a 2008 model). There was no Fat Bob back then so, in the States there is some logic to the name “Standard”.
Yeah it made sense back then, but to me it feels lazy for them to call it that now.
The standard goes back farther than the 2000's.
Looking at the landscape you're riding in, it reinforces my desire to visit the English countryside. If the day ever comes when I can get on a plane without wearing a mask and being treated like a criminal, I'll get there.
Your review was very well done.
Its not bad, HOWEVER!, The UK is in the bottom 10% of most Nature Depleted countries on the planet! All is not as good as it appears!
Your correct the bike was marketed wrong. This bike out the box looks amazing classic vintage look.. Mine is coming in couple weeks at the harley dealer. Only thing I did not like was mid controls but I'm getting them to put on foward controls..
6 foot 2. Long legs
Fair enough buddy, hope you enjoy it. I’m sure you will!
Thanks brother.. what did you think of a mufflers stock ? They seem to have some sound.. little rumble..
I like how you guys review bikes, just straight forward and honest.
Thanks buddy, that’s our goal!
I have the same 107 standard. I got the saddlemen seat because as you find when yours is unrestricted , it has some serious kick and if you get on it in the wind with the little seat you better hold on tight. With the saddlemen it does it for you. It doesnt make the bike look to big in my opinion. I just think it needed a slighty bigger tire on the back from the factory.
Love the ape handlebar of the Street Bob. Mine is FLSTF 2012. The V2 sound is like a therapy every time I ride.
Certainly bro, that’s a lovely bike. Nothing like it!
I keep contemplating a standard, i agree nothing needs changing massively, id personally throw an exhaust on for the rumble and then some whitewalls, job done 👌🏻
Awesome, whitewalls would be cool!
I always thought the heritage should have been named the Road Prince since it looks like a smaller version of the Road King.
I recognise those roads , yes I'm from Leicester , I bought a couple of Harleys from Sycamore ( a Superglide 06 and a Heritage in 08 ) I sold them on and went to Triumph , been there ever since 2011 . I went from a Heritage to a Rocket 3 touring and then to a Thunderbird LT in 2014 which I still have . Good to see a lad your age into Harleys , makes a change , they get under your skin, I would still like to own a Harley again one day , I do like that softtail standard of yours apart from the front brake , single disc is not enough on a bike that heavy IMO . Road King is the best bike in the range all round IMO .
They certainly get under your skin ... got my first one back in 86 ... and five later I have a 09 street bob ... ridden.. borrowed other bikes but always wanted to get back on me Harley ...
Mind you I still miss my old Triumph t140v...loved that but sadly part ex for my first sporty ...
You can have a lot more fun on it than the Sportster but you are going to pay a whole lot more $$ for the Standard, too. It is a natural step up, IMHO.
Nice video, good idea. That H-D is a decent bike even as restricted, I totally believe it. Torque is much more important than he top-rev hp in everyday riding.
And that was hilarious to look at the couple riding the whatever it was in the beginning. I first thought there was only one hanging his toes...
Ahaha that would’ve been funny if it was, and yes torque is so important!
I'm glad you are so very happy with your new bike. I can remember how happy I was with my first few bikes. Heck, I was almost as happy this morning when I rode to work.
So, a lady friend, huh?
...
Does she know about the lass on the horse then?
Be flippin' careful. You know that all that exuberance can morph into trouble!
Thanks for a great review,
S
Haha 😬🐎Don’t worry I like to think I’m pretty sensible! Thanks buddy it’s a great feeling.
It was great to meet you in person today 31st July when you were at work..I was the dude in the Triumph leather with my mate trying on lids...hope he buys some kit off you for his up coming trip to Scotland..Jim rides a 2020 Harley Ultra thingy..lol
hopefully another subscriber to your channel .
Thanks buddy really appreciate it! Great to meet you!
Sweet ride man! Awesome that you buy a brand spanking new Harley at 19! I bought my old 91 Fatboy at 20, 23 now still have it!
I bought my Super Glide at 19 in 1981, still have it....
@@jens-3949 wow, you are ancient!
@@Mattis_Bengtsson Alive and kickin' :-)
Not sure if you can get them over there, but if you want to improve braking switch to Lyman pads. they'll make a huge difference.
I rode my first HD yesterday. It was a 2021 Softail Standard. A visceral feeling of torque and connection to the road. Absolutely loved it. But my 57 year old body can't sit in that posistion for long. Also drove the new Sportster S and Nightster. They are both refined modern motorcycles. Now I need mid controls and an upright posistion. Maybe they'll do that soon.
Perhaps look at the other models with forward controls 👍🏼👍🏼
Greetings from the US 🇺🇲👍. I share your enthusiasm for Harleys. You did a nice job on the review. You have a real beauty there. I'm going to sub and follow your content. I just purchased my first Harley this year. I can't stay off of it. I got the '21 Heritage Classic in Deadwood Green and black.
Thanks buddy, appreciate it. Awesome colour! My ol man has a heritage too, have you seen any of our videos of it!?
Chrome vs black crackle finish. Well, I'm a fan of both but in the right place. On a bike like this I'd want chrome. Black crackle, when properly applied, is arguably more durable so better suited to Adventure and dirt bikes and commuters being ridden year round in all weathers IMO.
On the licensing front, having passed the bike test almost 40 years ago, I was totally out of out of touch with the latest regs so read up on them and what a load of tosh! No doubt some desk bound bureaucrat thinks it makes motorcycling safer.
Based on the tracking shots in the video, the bike sounds lovely with its stock exhausts (and they look beautiful too). You hear of owners 'upgrading' to V&H pipes (other makes are available...) and then ditching them because they're uncomfortably loud when riding. I'd think twice before making that change.
I did accidentally have the mic volume up quite high so it picks up more sound than reality. They are very quiet standard, I’ve ordered slip ons so not too loud!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan which slip ons did you buy?
First thing you need to change are the Dunlop tires that are on the bike. They are terrible when its wet outside!! I got the same bike, but its 86hp and i spin like crazy with the bike when its raining!!
Yes I forgot to mention that, I’m probably going to change them for Avon’s. However tyres are basically an extinct species now. No one can get hold of them!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan If i was you i would go for Michelin Commander III tires. Just be sure when they are made, not older then 6 months.
Congratulations, what a fantastic looking motorcycle! Looking forward to seeing you and your dad riding together, those are special moments to be cherished!
Thanks buddy, they sure are!
I have ridden one of these and Harley have taken an entirely different approach to the sports- cafe racer. Most riders change the pipes(Vance and Hines)seat with padding, Z bars/ Risers, add saddle bags, better breathing air filter. For now it’s a very good choice for a novice in that it doesn’t encourage you to speed - just enjoy the ride. Later on you could add a stage 3 performance kit and go through life enjoying 1 road bike. Have a 4 -500 trail bike for off road adventure riding. A basic car like a small station wagon/estate car is handy- before the trail bike.
Wise words, yes something for the future. Unfortunately can’t do any tuning of the engine as it has to be restricted!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan . Annoying about the restrictions but that situation isn’t permanent and rather than changing bikes, which is expensive- with that bike, you can add parts that make it more enjoyable, run better. Even if Harley closed up, it’s a bike you could still get parts for , for a long time. It happens, I had one of the last Triumph Tigers in ‘82.
@@MrAndrew1953 absolutely agree, there’s endless opportunities with customising harleys
That is a great bike and your review was really, very well done, both you and the old man are Top Notch , you know what you’re talking about, thanks ! 👍😎
Cheers buddy, really appreciate it! 👍🏻😎🍻
Beautiful ride, man. Way to go. 👍. Scenery looks like where I live in the USA. BET you can't wait to get the restricters off. Go ahead and put grenades on it and we can watch the Bobbies chase you about. 😃
Ahaha good idea, no I can’t wait to get the restricter off haha!
I Too much prefer the brushed alu heads and chrome pipes vs blacked out. My fav is the billiard blue Slim.
I just wish it came in more colors than black
I really like the laid back style of your videos and filming in the evening sun was just a brilliant idea. How I would like to ride into the sunset now!
I got my iron 883 at the time because they dropped the standard that year they seem to like have this on for 2
Off for 2. In Feb 2023 it’s back and cheaper the the frightster S $23K AUD so I think they come in just under 20K AUD.
My first bike, I miss it I traded up to a low rider s and I’m just not as comfortable as I was on my softail standard. Only problem is it was high maintenance for all the chrome and silver parts.
Interesting to hear, yes it takes a lot more polishing!
I agree about the wrinkle black. Not a fan.
Excellent review. Looking forward to the Wales trip and report👍
For sure! 😎
great bike.... I have had mine for a month now, and I love it! even better from this week as i have had the silencer sensors de-coded , so now changed the exhaust silencers and it now sounds bloody brilliant! i have changed the front indicators and the grips so far..... a few more changes as soon as possible.
ride safe!!
The standard is a great looking bike as is. I love the clean look of it. Just metal and engine...it's just pure Harley. You should do an updated video on yours. Or maybe do a Road trip and vlog it.
I had a GSXR sports bike years ago.. yes it was quick but it was also really uncomfortable on anything longer than a 10 minute ride.. I love having forward controls and a Vtwin and a comfortable riding position.. I don't feel in any rush.. and it's not at all about the speed anymore which I think many bikers come to terms with as they get older.
Yes agreed. The Harleys are plenty fast enough!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan and I have a metric Japanese Vtwin cruiser. It was my compromise moving from super Sports to a cruiser 😅
We all ride bikes, different bikes as an expression of who we are mate. Enjoy!👍🏼😎🇦🇺
Precisely! Thank you :)
I've got a 2007 Standard. I like the duck tail fender on it better that the "fingernail" fender they currently use. It also came with a 200mm rear tire.
That’s awesome! Yes the new one is quite different to the old one.
Hi from France!
nice video! beautiful landscape! this kind of motorbike is perfect for cruising while enjoying the view! I plan to replace my 1200 Nightster, which I like a lot, with a brand new Softail Standard! at 50, you have to know how to have fun and realize the dream of a lifetime, own a Harley-Davidson Big Twin! Enjoy yours!
Thanks mate, the nightster is an awesome bike. The standard would be a perfect upgrade, fingers crossed for you!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan
🤞🏼😉👍🏻
Excellent review ! Beautiful machine ! And an uncanny spitting image of the Old Man ! ... Oh, and congrats on the new 'lady friend' ! ... The smile said it all ;)
Thanks buddy, she’s a keeper!
Looking good on that bike my man!
Such a pretty bike.
Love the polished alluminium. Much better than wrinkle black or chrome
Thanks buddy, I totally agree!
That Ali G was spot on lol!
Great review. My son is hoping to get a Harley and was considering the Iron due to the restriction issues. Ive drawn his attention to the alternative now. I ride a 2011 Fat Bob and love the low down torque. However its just as happy to rev out to 6k.
Thanks buddy. The torque makes the restriction barely noticeable!
Great stuff. We need more young 'uns on bikes. I go to rallies and it's mostly grey heads or slap heads. Get your mates on bikes.
I’ve tried! Unfortunately the regulations mean most young people either can’t afford it or can’t be bothered with it!
Yep. The crap new riders have to go through is ridiculous.
@@timchamberlain6094 tell me about it, absolute nightmare!!
Great real world test as always. Harley Davidson nice looking and torque over HP everytime. A single disc on a 300kg bike is not a safety feature. Shame Harley's are stupid expensive. Yesterday's technology and tomorrow's prices. Best part of twice the price of a Triumph and definitely not twice the bike.
Just a joke about the safety feature lol. They’re adequate anyway. Personally I feel they give more of a sense of occasion but that’s just me. Glad you like the reviews!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan sense of occasion, terror in English 😀
@@davidallen7540 lol 😂
Beautiful new bike! Keep it that way ... get engine guards (crash bars)!
So glad I found this channel. You guys are cool. Cheers from Texas.
Thank you mate!
So right on the name. Before you even said that I was thinking this same thing. I was thinking it remind me of a modern classic Harley.
Exactly! Glad you agree 👍🏻
nice bike , ridden well,, i like the standard pipes, please let us know if the bike runs right when you fit your pipes,,,, most do not ;;; that motor is lovely in town or village when you get used to it,,
I'm with you on the Saddleman seats, they're really ugly looking. They don't blend with the lines at all. As for the torque vs HP thing just remember that power=force X velocity, or HP=torque X RPM. It's the force, the torque on a bike that gets you going. Yes when a Fireblade or something gets into high RPM then it creates more power but HD with a lot of low and midrange torque makes more power at normal riding RPM. They may not be fast in terms of top speed but that doesn't mean they don't accelerate quickly.
Exactly buddy, that’s what I love about Harleys. Nothing like the low down grunt!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I've owned a twins but haven't (yet) had a go on a HD. When I've got the cash for a new bike though I'll be taking one out for a test ride.
So happy for you mate!
That bike is spectacular...honestly!
The horn sucks, as does mine on my Honda.
(You look great riding it by the way.)
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Thanks for the great overview. I miss England (especially the countryside). Ride safe -- Walt Greybeard in The States.
Thanks bud, will do!
These bikes are fantastic. Had mine since July 2020. If you change anything, definitely go for a stage 1 upgrade. Did it to mine ( plus a lot more ) and you really feel the difference.
Awesome, yes for sure!
About time young buck !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Certainly is!
Beautiful bike. I agree, its a fine looking machine just the way it is.
I agree . I would have called it the Chrome Bob. But same difference.
Came across your videos while I was looking into doing the DAS course and have now stayed for the scenery! Great photo spot there, on the Red Hill Rise bend. Cool to see lots of the roads I drive/cycle on too - Uppingham’s my home town. :)
Awesome, I’m sure you’ll bump into me at some point!
I still find it so interesting that you're even aloud to have the bike restricted, in Victoria Australia (the real MVP nanny state) 😅 you must ride bikes no larger than 650 when you're on a restricted licence.
i have one and if you hold the clutch in for a few seconds the clunk will go when you put in first
Great looking bike...dare I say an unusual choice for someone of your age group!..but a fine choice all the same!...I’m 6 ft tall so would love to hear what the ergo’s are like when you are riding...foot position on the pegs etc ..changing gear....mini apes and control etc 👍😎
Yes it is, I’m not into sporty bikes. I like cruisers and off road stuff! For me I think it’s perfect for someone of you height foot position is perfect but it’s personal preference as to whether you’d want forward controls or not. Mini apes are perfect, put your arms and hands in a comfortable position. Changing gear is easy and the pegs and nice and roomy you can also adjust the position of the shifter peg.
Good solo debut.
Nice bike! The mirrors on my Softail Deluxe are sublime. You can see everything behind you perfectly. Enjoy your Harley... 👍
Thanks great, I might have to change mine at some point. Thank you!
Great video and such a refreshing choice for an A2 bike.
Thanks buddy, glad you agree
Awesome! Im goin lookin at tradin up 2moro. Might need to copy ya 😝🤘🏻
It would be a good choice if I do say so myself!
Another cracking review and no doubt will serve A2 licence holders for years to come.
Lovely bike.
Thanks mate!
Nice ride, looking forward to more content with it. Countryside looks incredible.
Thanks! Plenty to come!
BTW..from a guitarist‘s point of view: going for the „standard“ model doesn‘t mean „cheap“ or „entry“ at all…😉 Classic!!!
I guess you own a standard strat.. or a lespaul standard
👍🏻
You’re a very lucky young man! I’m 54 and I couldn’t afford one of them gorgeous machines.
Thanks buddy, I did lots of saving. Certainly very fortunate!
Great video great sounding bike love the looks and it suits you. You taking the ol man on the back 😆
He might be a bit heavy for a pillion 🤣
Other then a new can the only thing id change is put dark smoke or black lens covers over the indicators with orange bulbs.. gives it a cooler look haha.. but other then that id leave her as is because shes a gorgeous looking machine well wear buddy..🤘👍 again love the videos
Thanks buddy, agree with you there!
" A to the L to the I to the Gzee" " Rude boyz gettin busy" Big up the Staines massive!
Probably confused some people in the comments with the Ali G reference 😂
Beautiful bike Dude, happy riding. See you in Wales sometime👍
Thanks dude ahaha, don’t worry I’ve seen everything Ali g at least 50 times so I basically know the entire script to the film haha
I agree it’s a mint looking bike as is 👍🏻 I would prefer forward pegs but that’s personal you enjoy it man maybe braided break lines will give you a bit more reassurance 👍🏻 I would defo have one but just got the Yamaha 9 gt ikon ATB
Thanks buddy, that’s awesome! Enjoy your ride 👌🏻
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you bud enjoy your mint machine 👍🏻
@@wombal177jim thanks mate!
The videos on this channel are great. I like how they are created. Firstly, viewers want to know about the bikes and what someone thinks about them. Secondly, we want to see the bikes. Not only do you show them sitting stationary but you also show them passing by and behind the bars. Well done. Other reviewers (for lack of a better word) should take a page from your book. I look to your channel when I want to know more about a motorbike.
Thanks very much mark, really appreciate it!
Exciting times. I totally agree with you about the customisation, your bike looks fantastic as it is and IMO people can too easily get carried away with customising for customisings sake.
I totally agree, it just spoils the bike
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I respectfully disagree, my 2020 Standard has custom handle bars, sissy bar, V&H big shot exhaust, forward front foot controls, 2 inch tank rise, and some other small things like HD derby and air cleaner covers, and all new parts are gloss black. I had a 883 sportster that was black and I chromed it out, went with a different direction with my new bike. But to each is own, if you love the stock look, God bless, just for me I liked the customization of my bike, when HD came out with this bike, said to myself I could make this bike my dream bike, and who said dreams can't come true!!
p.s. I live in the States, what is A2 restriction?
Beautiful bike and a great video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate!
There we are mate, love it!
Thanks mate!
The softtail standard: Now with wildebeest repelling technology
It’s a fantastic feature!
It looks like an old skool dyna! Fxd! Other than the back fender! Congrats on the bike!
Thanks buddy, totally agree on the looks!
Beautiful bike and review, thank you🕺🤠🤘
Thanks buddy!
A reakky good review. Nice bike!
THATS WHAT I WANT . Great video quality man, the bike looks just beautiful through the screen.
Thank you buddy!
Looks great! Yeah, that’s a nice thing about these bikes, lowering the horsepower doesn’t necessarily make it slow due the torque.
Thank you, and yes precisely!
Can’t get enough of your channel fellas! Great vids, keep it up 😁🤙🇦🇺
Thanks buddy 💯👍🏼
I put ext on the mirrors, harley sells them and like u i was looking at my shoulders but that made the mirrors useful.
Good idea, I might have to do that!
loved the ali-g reference😂
Me love Ali g!
Great to see you in the saddle. Beautiful bike. You made a excellent choice. Stay safe and watch out for those pesty wildebeest. They are everywhere. 😂😂.
I know bloody things are running about all the time, you’d think they own the place!
Needs a bobtail fender. Hate that they went away from the triangle swingarm
Love my 2020. Added a cruise control because of a shoulder issue. Have a Saddelmen Solo seat because the stock seat killed me after about 40 minutes. Finally, I added a Motherwell luggage rack and sissy bar, as I do commute to work and need a place to secure a bag.
Sounds awesome bro 💯
Congratulations again and beautiful Harley Davidson. Great review 👍🏻
Thanks buddy!
The best value model was the Low Rider. Shame they stopped selling it in the UK along with the Sportster. Where do Harley go from here? Nice video, cheers.
Yeah I guess the sales weren’t that good for the low rider. As for the sportster we shall see what they reveal tomorrow!
Good job. Love that bike! I agree it was marketed all wrong. Congrats on your new wheels!
Thanks mate, yes they got the marketing all wrong!
Great Review! Best wishes from Germany...
Awesome, awesome, bike! I almost traded my iron 883 for the new street bob but the mark up was absolutely ridiculous 😱. This bike might actually be a better fit for me though? I really like the minimalist style, the chrome, the PRICE, just a no nonsense bike with gobs more power than my 883! Probably fits my style more than the street bob.
Btw, I always wanted to visit Wales. Supposedly, my grandfather Reynolds parents or grandparents were from Wales? That’s what they tell me anyway? Of course with the surname Clark, it’s pretty safe to say most of my ancestry can be traced back to somewhere in GB.
That’s awesome! The street bob is great, and the iron is also a great place to start
