As you should!

I'll NEVER stop, till I have too. NEVER.

@@beisdj0
Good on you, why not, why not?
You guys are badass I’m 20 I want one so bad
It's awesome. I test-rode one as well. I also like your friend's chrome T-bar. I don't see many of those, and it matches the bike quite well. Thanks for the video.
Glad to see people enjoying the low rider s. Just bought a brand new 2021 low rider s and I’m currently loving it. Still have to deal with 900 more miles before the break in period is over. Even with taking it easy this bike is an absolute monster and I would recommend it to anyone who’s curious about this bike. It’s light enough to throw around but heavy enough to deal with 100 mph speeds on the highway with zero difficulty. Everything you could possibly look for in a cruiser is present with this bike. It may to have the same comfort as a touring bike but will blow them out of the water as far as speed and performance are concerned. Anyone looking to buy this bike please message me and I’ll answer any questions you have.
I bought one back in December, I'm 6'0 barefoot and the bars fit perfectly. I'm keeping the mid controls and adding some kind of highway peg/crash bar. I've ridden over 30 years and was pleasantly surprised by the Low Rider S. Great machine!!
Nice review!! I like the butt dyno conversation as opposed to reading from a spec sheet. I'm definitely thinking of picking one up.
Another great review
Keep up the good work!
Thanks John!
I just bought a 2019 1000mi low rider due to it had all the chrome. Which I prefer. But the test drive on the new bike was great.
Your the 1st review who dod not hate this bike. Nice👌
I saw that Texarkana HD shirt and that took me back. Lived there for ten years and watched them build that dealership
Awesome review. Thank you. How would you feel about putting in a 500 mile day on this Bike. And, how do you feel about not having a hydraulic clutch?
Hell yeah it’s worth it! May be one of the best bikes they have ever built! I just bought one!
Was Travis' rear shock setting the same as the LR S? A different setting will make a difference when it comes to ride comfort/ absorbing pumps.
I just got mine 2 weeks ago. I haven't really ride it yet, but the little riding I did, I'm not disappointed. I have to get used to the feel of high torque low RPM bike, coming from supersport and all.
Excellent review!
Great review brotha!!
I really wanna see this beautiful bike in person but my local dealer don’t have one yet.
Bought one this year. It was a used 2022 with 800miles. Having a blast.
Nice review. Travis looks like hit fits on the Low Rider S perfect. How tall is Travis and what is his inseam? I'm 6 foot with a 34 inseam and it seems a little cramped. For me, I feel like my knees are up high. The seat height is low so that would probably be my first upgrade.
I see you have a 2019 Road Glide Special, you think it's worth it going from a Road Glide to the Low Rider S? I've been giving it some thought since I don't do long road trips that much. Thanks!
I love that bike I would love to place chrome pipes on it with black heat shields on it and a 4 inch windscreen attached to the small fairing other than that yeah love it I am hoping to get back on a harley next year
I have an iron 883, I want that Low Rider S now.
Got it and love it. Upgraded from the Softail Slim
I wish they would put the 5 gallon fuel tank on the FXBB. Just like the old dyna Street bob.
@@rb2112 yeah been waiting for it. Do that then I'm sold. My salesman said it's not likely to happen though.
my dream bike was always the street glide special but now i dont know which one i would choose x) things they could change on it is adding cruise control, a 117 motor and RDRS...than it would be the perfect bike!
I would have liked to see a 117 also on the Streets model. I would also like to see more colors than just black and silver. Lastly not a fan of the mini fairing. I have test rode this bike and a different exhaust would be the first thing I would do.
Is it illegal to put black levers on from factory
I just bought this bike last weekend (9/7/19). I can 100% vouch for everything that @ASJOSHSEESIT has stated.
I rode the 2017 and was super impressed for the aging Dyna platform. I was absolutely crushed when the Dyna was discontinued, and the prices of the used dyna's shot up over $4-5K.
I was coming from a modified 2012 Sportster 48. The Softtail platform in and of itself is a HUGE upgrade in ride comfort and power (as to be expected). I was blown away with every single point mentioned in this video. He is 100% spot on! To be honest, I'm not surprised in the difference from the 107 Stage 1 to a stock 114, You're talking 110cc difference between the engines. What was different to me in feel, was the rigid mounted motor, so you do feel it a bit more in the bike. Which I LOVED being able to feel a bit more of the bike. It is NOT "Cruiser" oriented like a touring bike, nor is it a flat out racer. I personally feel it's a great balance in between.
I'm 6'6 what do you think about hd low rider S for me?
I got my Low Rider S a couple of months ago. I just wish I had the time to ride it all day....
Which is greatest, low rider s or sports glide or breakout
Thanks for the review on the Lowrider S what a great bike! So on the 2020 S models they do not come with a stage 1 anymore?? I have the 16FLSS S model and it came with stage 1 from factory.
I guess it's halfway there, it does come with an intake on it, so all you would need to do is purchase a full exhaust and then download a tune. I'm thinking doing cams and going Stage 2 would be beast on this bike!
ASJOSHSEESIT Cams would definitely wake it up! I got a stage1 on mine plusa SE auto smart auto tuner. 585 Cams is next! #LowInTorque 😎
@@ridemotos I think I would do a stage 3 on the S rather than a stage 4 as I want more power in the low and mid range rather than at higher rpm.
Wished that you would had turn the camera so that we could actually see him sitting and riding that awesome bike,we did get a few glimpses but really...it would have been nice to see it more.
Review summary: “right off the bat” 😂
Enjoyed your review bro.
LOL, I know, not sure why I had that phrase stuck in my head. I almost made a countdown timer of how many times I said it.
Every low Rider S video has at least one "right off the bat" phrase in it. Lol
Nice views thanks for sharing take care and your family God bless 😍
First 😁! Thanks for the review.
I would like to know how it's possible to lean and turn with that amazing bike? In France the low rider s will arrive at the end of September...so I need to wait to test it😓
Thanks from France✌
Massimo, we weren't able to find any hairpin turns in North Texas but I can say from the few corners I did take, this bike handles extremely well. Definitely worth a test ride.
@@ridemotos Thanks, I will test it for sure ✌
how tall is travis or what is his inseam?
Love the bike. It'll be my next one. What brand of bars does your friend have in this video?
He has the Biltwell 12" bars!
@@ridemotos cool, thanks👍
I'v opened my wallet and put a deposit down. I'm having a full stage 3 fitted, with a Bassani 2:1 Road rage, air cleaner and tune some 8" risers and some cosmetic changes, integrated indicator / running lights front and rear and a side mounted licence plate holder, flip the mirrors and have all the grey bits painted / powder coated denim black, so the tank console, the primary cover the cylinder heads (done as part of the stage 3). Then I'm having a Saddleman step up seat, and fitting pillion pegs, while we're going that going to get the Kahuna collection pegs and grips fitted all round.
Trouble is I'm currently working in China so will have to wait until 2021 to take delivery. But it'll be worth it. Also interesting to hear you think it'll handle road trips as that was my thing a few years back. OK, now I'm that bit older (56) it'll be hotels rather than camping, but I can see a European road trip summer 2021 / 22. (I'm a Brit I'll be living in UK).
I’ll say you opened your wallet!! Turned an 18k bike into nearly $30k with all those goodies!!
Man you’re gonna really life that bike
I think this might be my next one.. I want a two into one pipe.. out the store.. maybe some Vikings hard bags, sissy bar, and a saddle man seat. Depends on how mid the pegs are.. done forward controls.. I like my knees stretched out.. not cramped
It’s is my new bike!! 😁 with the Horsepower Inc two into one Exhaust pipe
If you’re tall you’ll want the forward controls. Mids are fine for short “spirited” riding trips.
If you do longer rides get the forward controls.
@@TeensierPython I left the pegs stock. No issues with my knees and better lean angle. I ride a bit aggressive. So it makes cornering fun!
Yeah it’s also 200 pounds lighter then a bagger! You can rip and throw this around so much easier than a Roadglide etc. as I’ve owned 3 Roadglides. I choose this bike over a new Roadglide
I put the heritage rear shock I’m low rider s it’s epic now.
$450.00 installed?? I'm strongly considering getting that shock on mine. I'm going to buy the bike in February. How much did it change on the ride going down the highway? Thanks
Mike Essary no idea I had it put on from the go. You can get the cobra el Diablo 2 into 1 exhaust for 580$ at Dennis Kirk. It’s not that expensive to trick your bike out.
I'm getting this as my first bike this weekend. Deal is done. My main focus is clutch slipping. I know this bitch is stupid powerful so I just want to ease into it. Probably go out when it rains a couple times to force myself to be slow and easy on my inputs.
Love my 2020 low rider s.
How much did you ended up paying for it?
@@bennyrodriguez8788 I got $1,500 off of msrp and the 1,000 mile service thrown in.
17999.00$. I got 8200 for my 08 nightrain
Hey what going on guy.... question. Do you think this bike is good for a new rider?I'm 6ft tall. Thanks guy!
Sports Chi only if you take a riding course. If you hop straight on this without direction, you’re asking for pain.
I dig the bike but I wish the rear fender was bobbed
Right off the bat I'd like to say right off the bat...but honestly I loved this bike right off the bat
Nice bike but will someone please do a review of the 2020 standard LowRider! Too many reviews of the S model on here...
Hey Lance, Matt Laidlaw has a fantastic review of the regular low rider. It might be the 2019 but no changes in 2020.
@@mikeessary4925 saw the 2019 model but I'm sure the 2020 is not much of a different...
Wtf! That's the dealer I use, and just got my 2017 Iron 883 at a few months ago, planning to trade it for this bike Saturday
So weird watching a motovlog where I recognize every street, turn and building. Literally 5 minutes from my house
TylerDD do it! Tell Travis that you watched my video!
The bikes sweat! I just bitter cause I gave in and bought the 18 low rider. Can careless about the black and the s! I want the inverted forks and dual disc!!! All there bikes should have inverted forks and dual disc. No excuses! I Do like my low rider. They used the fat bob frame for that bike so wouldn't be the same to throw the front end on mine.
Very nice video 👍
The no gloves thing is giving me anxiety 😬
No gloves and no helmet is the only way to ride a Harley... thank god for the no helmet law in PA
The bike you swapped onto is a lot better looking in my opinion
Right off the bat.....
I love it
If you like it? Sure it’s worth it.
My question to you is have you ever rider a sport bike
Yup!
mate i really enjoyed the information on your video, i would like to suggest you, to instead having music as a background, to have the sound of the bike going, even if is a loop.
music as background is hard to please all, as we all have different taste, me personally i thought the music was distracting, adding clutter to your very detailed information voice over.
thanks for the vid, cheers
Great advice man! I originally had myself talking with the bike in the background (like the second half of the video), but partway through the ride, I decided to get on the throttle to see what the 114 had in it, and it actually knocked my microphone out of my camera. I didn't notice until halfway through the ride, figures. Agreed on the music choice though, you should have seen my struggle trying to find music that was "middle ground".
Is it a good starter bike?
Josh Beideman would be a BEAST of a starter bike
@@ridemotos so would you recommend it as a starter bike I'm about 5'2 and 110-115lbs
I would probably recommend starting on a sportster 1200 for sure
Josh Beideman depends on your riding style. if you are a cautious , careful type of rider then this bike would be fine. I'm pretty sure being short this bike would have a lower seat height then the sportster. if you think you will be riding with buddies and may have a tendency to show off, definitely get a smaller bike. the sportster to me would be a better starter bike for you as you can pick up a used sportster for a couple grand with low miles, ride it a year then turn around and sell it next year for about the same money. next like a said a couple grand for a nice used sportster starter bike, or probably close to 20 grand or so for this bike
NO Josh, NO. NO. NO.
Start with something small n easy n light weight n ergonomically comfortable for a full year or so.
After a year or so, then make your decision. TAKE YOUR TIME.
(my opinion, as a 60 yr old Experienced rider)
Kind regards.
119 ft-lb on the S and 111 ft=-lb on the base low rider not much power gain but I guess the torque curve on the 114 is what makes it much faster at lower rpm's
Nicholas Cochran The forks and dual disc brakes alone make it worth 2k more.
H-D should have put a 117 in it
Why? 3ci more doesn’t get you much more. You’d be better off putting a stage 3 on the 114.
@@dickjohnson5025 yes or I would even prefer a stage 3 with the torque cam as opposed to the 117 imo
Shovelheads rule...
In silver... yes
Right off the bat I can say I dig it. But right on the bat I can say I've sunk too much money into my FXDLS. It's staying...
Right off the bat
Do you like the rake on your dyna better than the new softail s? Looks wise I like the rake of your dyna but I haven't ridden either.
@@mikeessary4925 I would prefer less rake
@@ChristopherdeKlerk is the rear tire bigger on the new one?
@@mikeessary4925 I think it is the same size
Wish it wasn't 18k! I'd snag it if it were Around $15k.
Even used ones are selling for what they cost new.
The low rider s is not the most comfortable soft tail from H-D. My sport glide with a stage 2 and pcv is just as fast and far more comfortable.
diashow-mode sucks imho
No cruise control though😑
You don't need that on a motorcycle.
That's my complaint too. I've been waiting about a year for it from Harley. It's on backorder. I've taken long trips on the LRS and it's fairly comfortable.
Good Grief...Sorry but after 3:1/2mins I cant take anymore of the obnoxious music noise...maybe next time withoit it please 👍😎🇺🇸
Inverted forks are better.
Not worth 20 gs you can get a Japanese bike that’s faster better handling better brakes and abs slipper clutch wayyy more reliable and way more advanced tech for half the price I love harleys but damn time to get with the times
그로벌 시대에 맞게 통역버전 하자 제발~~
Stop waving your hands all around 😂
too hot to wear gloves?
Ain't nothin like a Texas summer ;)
Hey Danny give it a break. We don't wear seatbelts either. Bubble wrap ect
You enjoy wearing your gloves and let others do as they please.
It is an excellent motorcycle for sure. But not worth the list price that Harley is selling it for. just saying
How do people rawdog their handlebars with no gloves lol
Really? no gloves?. lets set a good example here
I really don’t get the fuss over this bike, but to each there own. The full blackout look is done and overdone in my opinion, bring back chrome or at least stainless fixtures. There is another video of this bike with a 2-1 exhaust in brushed stainless and that looks sharp and makes it pop. As for power, the 114 is still anemic with 90hp at the crank and 78 rwhp. That’s low by modem standards and compared to the Vrod motor.
thumbs down because of cutting out the bike and riding audio completely and just doing a voiceover...
Tell me about it. My mic broke halfway through the ride and I didn’t realize it until I got back into editing 🥴
@@ridemotos ah, that sucks. I thought it was intentional
20 k for a bare bones harley. Wow . Your paying mostly for the name .I'll tell you right now , there's a lot of other bikes out there that are wayyyy cheaper , faster and all around better . They just dont say HD on the tank . Truth be told . Im not falling for the hype .
I'm happy with mine. No buyer's remorse at all. The sound, the feel, the torque and the look of the bike are worth it to me. 7500 miles on mine so far and no issues.
