At the sound test, he said, "sounds like a real Harley", immediately after I had just said the exact same words. Good choise of exhaust, one could also say, a match made in heaven. The tuning forks in the Sport Glide wheels don't get me excited at all, but otherwise, not a bad bikeI. I also love the banter going on between you both, almost like school kids..., my dad's stronger than yours. No, my dad is stronger etc.! And now to this video, and what I did NOT like..., it was not good video, it was f**king incredible, just not long enough. I could have watched 90 plus minutes of this, with a bucket of popcorn, like in the cinema.!! But now I must stop commenting, or you will start getting big-headed.
Good evening Tomboy_a_bit. They both sound great. I've got fond memories of George and John on there HD cruisers on the M1 passing mini sausage rolls around as our bikes thumped alone munching up miles while we munched up the sausage rolls. Shame we have to get old? I enjoyed this vlog and the interview. Safe happy cruising girl till next time 👍😊.
I have a 2021 gauntlet grey Sport Glide. I part exchanged my 2006 sportster. My sporty sounded awsome with Vance and Hines straight shots. My Sport Glide sounds great with stage 1 and Rinehart. If I had the money I would have also kept the Sportster. I love the Sport Glide, perfect for virtually every occasion. I will not take off road, that's it. And yes, I wish I was a bit younger!!!!
Diamante, the thing you've overlooked is now the ants are in your gloves which is only a minor improvement 😅. It's why Mickey mouse wing mirrors were invented as a helmet rack when you park up !.
Sweetie, loved the way you left "plow-boy hot pants" in traffic by lane splitting and left him in your dust! I would take the 883 Sportster as my first bike(Harley-Davidson wise) over the sport glide! A3.5 gallon fuel tank, engine guards, a fuel gauge and a wind screen then I'm golden!
It was so interesting to hear the views of the Sport Glide's owner and then to see you ride it and hear your reaction. Brilliant video and production, thank you! I think your summary was sport on. I noticed the physique of the bikes matched their owners... and I much prefer yours (bike!). Perhaps when Apex is on the road you could do a similar comparison with a more standard sports bike. Thank you for making so many interesting and photographically excellent videos.
i just bought recently a Sport Glide 2018 and l love it. i had a Night Rod Special 2018 and a Road King 2013. The Glide is quite similar than the V Rod, but without the RPMs at all the gears... which is so cool with the 1250 Night Rod !
In the USA, there are a lot of women that have bought and ride Sport Glides. Sadly, 2021 was the last year Harley offered it in the US market. Very happy with my Twisted Cherry Red 2018 Sport Glide, which I have only put mustache bars on, LED lights, and a Saddlemen Explorer seat, a good touring seat.
Tomboy Another wonderful video Lady! They are so relaxing and fun to watch. I love your Helmet on gloves to prevent ants! Especially when you said you had ants in your helmet! That was hilarious. 🤣 I LOVE your channel! Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady! 👍👍🌹
Hi, I have aHD Iron 883 for about 3 years and just bought a HD Ultra 2016. It’s amazing the difference of riding and the sensation. I still not sure if the Ultra fits my personality (the Iron certainly does) but I am very excited to experience more the Ultra and be ready to start making long trips with it. I hope I will enjoy it in the near future. Otherwise I still have the Iron…
Prefer the Glide naked tbh, good choice of exhaust, fairing and panniers make it look like something my father would ride as he likes his Gold Wings. Lovely review but I’d find it too big and heavy for me as I’m tiny, the Iron 883 was fine for me when I had it a few years back 👍
On the Sportster "Cruise Control" that screw is actually a Throttle Friction Screw its made for making the throttle smoother not really meant to hold it in place, The new Sportsters have an actual cruise control its easier to add to new types of Sportster since its uses a ride by wire system. I have had both Sportsters and Big Twins over the past years, I always preferred the sportsters, but I'm a little guy and on the Dyna's and later models the clutch cover always made me feel awkward trying to put my feet down, the slim Sportsters fit me nicely but I admit the most miles I rode in a day is 500 and I was worn out, that was on a 96 1200 and I had a comfy saddle and pad. LOL I''m old guy (61) worked on bikes of all types, I remember in 1996 the new Sportsters came with the "new" style push in throttle cables, prior to that they actually bolted into the throttle housing, I have replaced that little clip that holds the throttle friction knob in place I lost count, the clip is there to prevent someone screwing it all the way out. And I used to keep a bag of the little c clips that go on the throttle cables in my tool box, they like to fly off and go to the most remote places in the shop.
The Sport Glide sounds really good but the Sportster sounds like a WW1 fighter plane. The standard M8 does sound like a sewing machine though and this is coming from someone who rides a Japanese four pot.
the Iron looks better. Can't believe they stopped with that I was planning to get me one when I get my license. Btw this was a better comparison video than Harley did.
I was always convinced my Sport Glides steering wasn't straight, it always looked as if the right handlebar was closer than the left. Interesting to see Brian was the same. Great bike and really two biles in one with the QD panniers and screen. Shame it's discontinued, but maybe Harley will have a new version in a few weeks...
If you have a Sportster up to a 2020 model, I totally recommend getting a CruiseMate cruise control to replace the regular thumb screw. Light years better. With gloves, no problem whatsoever.
Agree it’s a sewing machine. When you have the budget do the breather and the pipe. If you got more than that do a stage two. Get a taller windshield. Fucking bad ass
Haha. She is spot on saying the USB charger is cheap and relatively easy to place on a bike. I put one on my Sportser and it is certainly not a bargaining point for a purchase of a bike. The big difference in the engines is the sportster engine is noisy with its four cams and valve train. The M8 single cam is far quieter.
@tomboyabit yes it is a dyna, I got one of the last produced in 2017. No worries, plenty of parts. But yes it's like a big Sportster, easy to ride and it's quick.
I always thought that bike would look cool with some apes and a saddleman step up seat I am 55 and I don't think I will ever mature out of my sportster
Yes, its always about personal preference, I think its a great bike, and possibly the best of both worlds in the cruiser market, who knows you might like it@@tomboyabit
@@tomboyabitme neither nor, blini /w applesauce will do, ty. If I got it right you told him in slang he is riding a housewife harley. Have been confused too. Well a woman that can handle that bike got potential, so... 😏 Did like this format comparing bikes 👍, I'm still not mature enough for Harleys tho. Ty

😊 You should know me by now. I’ll never get big headed. The true appreciation just makes me more motivated to do even better! Thank you 🙏🏻
I really enjoy these comparisons with other riders & bikes. Always good to hear more than one opinion, keep up the good work Diemante!
Sportster forever 👍
👊
Great interview with Eclectic / carb boy ,,love Brian ,,but love the sound of your Sportster
Me too ☺️

The Sport Glide will probably be my next bike. It's a best seller here in France and I just can't understand why it's no more sold in North America...
A Softail Standard 107 or Street Bob 114 with the mid-controls, mini ape hangers is probably a better comparison to a Sportster.
Should try them too.

It’s a lovely Harley but I do prefer the looks and sound of your sportster
Me too
Of the two, I much prefer the Sportster; the engine is bullet-proof, unlike the M8's.
Bananas and strawberries. Sounds good, actually.
Way better than oranges and apples, right?

It's a nice looking bike he looks good on it but it's just not punk rock like the Sportster😁
Sportster is a proper Rock and Roll 🤘
Brian is lovely! Thanks so much for the gloves and helmet tip! I hate putting my helmet on the ground, and now I know how to stop it rolling away 🙏 😊

I ride a Sportster on roids, l absolutely love my fxdl. Its like a Sportster big brother.
It’s Dyna isn’t it? I always said if I’d change a Sportster I’d change it to Dyna.
But it was discontinued even before Sportsters. 😳
@tomboyabit yes it is a dyna, I got one of the last produced in 2017. No worries, plenty of parts. But yes it's like a big Sportster, easy to ride and it's quick.
@@Rollanotheronemyfriendone of my very good friends had Dyna, all black. I loved it so much, was ready to swap my Sportster any time.
Really great review, like your style so I’ve subscribed 👍🏻
Great video. Where is this cafe.
At Walton on the Naze
I'll keep with the Sportster. Don't need anything more at my age... Well Maybe a Trike!!!!
10:13. Whats the warning light?
Have it since the change of indicators.
Great bikes
How he ever managed to pick it (Brian) up again after falling on his foot, it quite something. Seems a nice comfortable touring bike though.
I have to ask him.
Lots of swearing...
@@MrDeeej86 😂
I always thought that bike would look cool with some apes and a saddleman step up seat I am 55 and I don't think I will ever mature out of my sportster
Your bike is still the best looking one on CZcams. Not with that flag pole though.
Not my cup of tea bike each to their own. Zx10r or R1 or GSXR1000 for me 😅
Very nice review
I love your bike, especially the pipes...there no soul in the new bikes....unless yoy dump 10 grand into them for motorwork and exhaust...
In comparison that sportster looks like some kind of junkyard vehicle
11:28 me too
Not my favourite HD, but hey ...
Nice video Hmmmm. Everybody wants a bigger bike until they get a bike that's too big and then they have to step down a bit. Or is that just me?
I think some people choose the bike to impress rather for themselves to enjoy and have fun. Sportster is a lot harder to ride than a Sport Glide.
At 2023 sportster Iron is the last real Harley Davidson bike.
Euro5 and Harley politics destroyed most harleys.
Hi ride's or not
😃 So fast! 💨
Have you tested the new Lowrider S?
No, I haven’t. Do you think I should?
Yes, its always about personal preference, I think its a great bike, and possibly the best of both worlds in the cruiser market, who knows you might like it@@tomboyabit
You ride that new bike for a couple of days, you won't even notice the weight.
What is your intro? Hello riders????????
