The opinions in this video are my own and not in any way representative of Harley Davidson or Timms Harley Davidson.
Picture quality is great! My suggestion would be to raise the camera up when you’re on the bike so the camera is up and over the bars.
Yeah I’m going to add another angle as well. Any ideas for that?
@@throttleblip9854 I think as long as the camera sees what you see as you’re riding, you’ll be fine.
@@throttleblip9854 most people like the camera on the bike. That's what we are here to see, not the road
Just raise up the view, would be great!
I agree with Jeff. raise the camera up so we can see what you see. Awesome quality BTW.
I bought the Low Rider on 10/08, three days ago. I only have my permit, so the dealership is delivering it to my home tomorrow. Wish me luck! Your video was a big help in me choosing this bike. Thank you...
That's awesome, congratulations! Enjoy it.
Resolution looks good to me. I come for the info and the review. Great job 👏
Thank you, son 🙏
Matter of fact I love the positioning of the foot controls. As someone who doesn't take long trips but still wants a more forward control than a true mid. I think it's great. I never like Harleys beyond the Street Glide Special and the Lowrider S. But this bike is on my Santa list.
As far as your video resolution I really prefer a 1080p 60hz video. I think the fluidity of a high refresh rate adds a lot to a motovlog over straight up resolution. Also switch to a chin mounted setup for better POV
I'm 5'8 so I'd move them back if they didn't feel right. Midnight crimson is superb. The equipment on this bike is top notch. Everything I like such as twin discs, 5 gallon tank, tank guages, good seat. Bars aren't too bad, normally go for Z bars. Hate drag bars.
Agreed!!
I have a 2020 low rider s, this was my first Harley. I came from riding street bikes and I love this bike! The mid controls were great for me but now I’m thinking about doing forwards after getting used to the bike. I’m loving the videos man great quality. If you ever want to do reviews on other people’s bikes hit me up, I’m in Augusta. I’m at the Timm’s H-D here all the time I go up to Anderson every once in a while.
I started on street bikes myself. It had been years since I had ridden one and then I took one in on trade. I decided to take it for a ride and didn't even get out of the parking lot before turning around. It felt so weird having my feet behind me, leaning on the bars, short steering, my center of gravity being so high. LOL Thanks for the kind words! Next time you go to Augusta tell Jeff I said whats up!
They nailed it with their lineup but it’s a shame how the big boy bikes are falling behind I stopped in my local dealer all the bikes like these 2are sold out and this dealership owns 3others roadking are moving slow but are moving but the ultras and roadglides are still plentiful I was there last weekend up in Laconia nh and the softails were going out the door the bell was ringing but ultras plenty to choose from if they deep discount them I would trade my roadking on a ultra i love bells and whistles
It’s an awesome bike I just bought one in the midnight Crimson. Only issue I have is it’s sound and I’m going get that fixed.
Absoloutly love the video. Maybe a comparison between the lowrider s and the fat boy? 2 bikes im stuck between and would love a video
SAME!! Lol I’m still a teenager but I’m looking at the low rider s the Ninja 650 ABS and a camaro
Quality is good, i would change the Camara angle though !
Video quality looks great! I have to agree with the control positioning; they made my hips ache after a longer ride on a friend of mine's Lowrider S. Thanks for the great reviews!
Glad to know it wasn’t just me. How tall are you?
@@throttleblip9854 I’m 6’1. Back when I had my Sportster I put forwards on it and the forward controls (and floorboards) are part of why I went with an FLSL instead of an FXLRS.
I just bought a 2020 Limited at the end of 2020. My wife and I do lots of touring. So, the Limited will be my first and most used bike. However, if I can get a second, this is the one. The color on this one is GREAT. The badging is just right to match the wheels. The 114 is a great engine. To another subject, the 2.7 was fine. I would like to see you raise the camera up, maybe mount it to your helmet or something. I don’t know. Otherwise, great review!
I’m torn between this one and the Fat Bob. I don’t think there is a wrong decision there. Yeah I’m having my helmet painted and then that’s the move! Thanks for watching. 🙏🏼
I'm watching the video in 1080p on my cellphone. It's looks good
Awesome! I shoot the talking parts in 4K on a real camera but I export them video to YT in 1080.
I’m going to test ride a Low Rider S, Thanks for the review!
Let me know what you think! What are you riding now?
2010 Yamaha V-Star 950 Tourer. I’m also researching the Road King, and the Heritage.
All 3 great bikes. If you like distance, I’d definitely look at the heritage or road king. Both available with the same 114 engine as the Lowrider S.
Throttle Blip, I ended up purchasing a 2016 Heritage (Vivid Black), this bike fit me great. I like the old style look, and also it was one owner, garbage kept, and only had 500 miles, along with a low price. The dealership did not have a 2021 Lower Rider S in stock, so I was not able to test ride it. Thanks for sharing your H-D knowledge, it helps answer many questions. Ride Safe and God Bless!
@@texassavage3527 Stick with Yamaha, or Indian.
I like that color!! Hope they do a Sportster in this color! Good review, also!
There are some good colors on the sportster this year! Thank you.
They used to do a "twisted cherry" on the Iron 1200. It was pretty nice.
2021 forty eight comes in this color
@@LILLEWI1 would love to have seen an Iron 1200 in that color.
I really love the color too😎
My dream bike. And I love this color. I currently have the Iron 1200 in twisted cherry
I love the low rider S. I heard that the 2021 doesn’t haven’t a lot of after market upgrade options.
The video looks great, and I’ve been back and forth on what bike to buy, you probably just sold me on this one and the color as well
Video resolution looks great. Nice camera work and music too on the overview in the beginning.
I'm 5'11 a future rider. I've sat on the Low Rider S I would replace it to forward controls. I do like where the handle bars are. Great video ride safe and enjoy.
Thank you!
Great bike, I have a 2020 in Black and love it. The only real complaint I have is that the seat, but I've ordered a seat from Saddlemen to fix that issue. Other than that it's so much fun.
Seats will effect long ride comfort. This seat may be cut too square.
Yeah I can see how on longer rides the seat may not be sufficient.
@@throttleblip9854 also, you talked about foot position in respect to siting (zero gravity stuff) fyssix
So, regarding resolution, I watch this on an iPad Pro 2nd generation (2018) and I find the image quality more than good!
I fell for the Fat bob myself. But the LRS was second on my list and only for minor things. Its a beauty though.
Yeah I could literally flip a coin and be happy.
Picture quality is good brotha! Very nice bike, I eventually wanna sell my sport bike and cruise, this seems like what I would eventually want to end up in. Thanks for the video! Keep them coming!
I just litterly bought my 21 Harley Davidson low rider s and totally enjoy it. I bought the black and it looks awesome with the gold rims and trim.
Just bought this bike but black yesterday. Already completely agree about the controls, I’m 5’11 also and they are awkward at times. I’m also coming off of a sport bike so kinda having to get use to the cruiser seating position
720p 0r 1080p is good enough as most people look at these videos in a laptop or desktop monitor. Maybe you could get a filter for the lens of the camera so the colors look more vibrant. Nice video.
Yeah the talking parts are filmed in 4k and riding shots are 1080p. I could also color correct the riding footage in post. Thanks for the love and feedback.
Video was really good was in Loma Linda Ca. Buying some led lights for my road king and saw the low rider S fell in love instantly it will definitely be my next bike thanks for the video good stuff
The quality of the video looks fine, even 1080/60 would be fine. The camera position is what I would change. It is nice to see the gauges but I would like to see more of the road. That's just my thoughts. I am hoping to pick up a LRS this spring.
Yeah I ended up changing it in the newer videos. What are you riding now? Thanks for the feedback.
Good review of an awesome bike. I think your channel is great too. 1080p resolution is good. I think the GoPro would be better mounted higher, but the gauges are cool.
your video is just fine and clear, you have to find anorher position if the camera to change the view while you're riding, a view that can experience the ride itself and how the bike goes on the street.
One great review wish the video didn’t finish. Thinking to buy one low rider s from HD-Dubai as my first bike and wanted your advice about it. Bike to be used for commuting and long distances since its kind in the middle of Harley family’s.
Wanted to say if you can also include some reviews of bikes essential and accessories.
I love this bike. For commuting/distance riding I'd want to add bags for sure and probably a small fairing also. The seat isn't bad but if you're going to be doing longer rides I'd upgrade it. I definitely want to get into accessories soon.
video quality is fine. good review. camera could focus a little more on the road ahead.
Yeah I've changed to a helmet mount since this one. Thanks for the love.
Just picked it up last night. It's a beast!!!
2.7k resolution looks pretty sharp, can't say there same group the sound that out puts out though/
I bought this bike and love it.
Great video! Love the bike, resolution fine at full screen on my tablet, could read the numbers on the dials, thanks for that, cheers John. 🌞🏍🇬🇧
Thanks for the input!
kool with the picture, you just need to color correct and grade. Lacking contrast and shadows. Expose correctly, maybe use and ND Filter.
Picture quality looked great! Really been wanting one of these I think this video just helped me make my decision
You'll love it!
I like the idea who is the bike for , who can best fit the bike. Good idea when researching
Resolution for me was perfect! Excellent information for me to make an informed decision on the low rider s! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'll give you a suggestion. I don't like watching POV ride videos. It's basically just a tour of the town. I like ride videos where you can see the rider on the bike. I know that means having an extra camera man, but if you can pull it off I think more people will stick around to the end.
Great video but the only thing I would do different is set the video a little higher to get a view of the road as well. Appreciate you
Thank you. Yeah I have decided to do a helmet mount on bikes with a fairing and just use the chest mount for non fairing bikes. Thanks for the support.
Video quality good, I love the color of the bike!
I'm glad you like it
Really enjoying your channel - wished all HD had content person like yourself at all dealerships.
That means more than you know, Joe. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. Anything you'd like to see added to the channel? I'm doing the 21's as Timms gets them in but looking to do other videos in the meantime.
@@throttleblip9854 DM or request my email. I can share ideas that I hope / think can help out. As a new HD owner, I know a tad more now vs. a few months ago.
I wouldn't mine a quick voice chat if you are open to that too.
Hey brother these are awesome videos. I'm so looking forward to my first bike and these videos are refreshingly blunt and really life like thanks and please keep'em comming. However, to answer you question the video quality is good and its awesome to hear you and not try to see what your saying through the wind or like your short on breath. So just keep it going....
Thanks man! The good thing is I don't work for Harley or speak for the dealership so I can give my HONEST opinion on things. What are you thinking is gonna be the first one for you?
I love this color combination! 😍
Really like your videos man, my wife and I are looking to be first time bike owners and watching your videos are helping us figure out which might be the best option.
Video quality is great, maybe through in some enthusiasm and more passion into it. Keep the views fully engaged that way you capture soon to be, new and older bikers. Those are my thoughts man, but overall really enjoy videos and thank you for all the detail you share with each bike you go over!
Just went and saw one today. Amazing bike! Planning on getting one in July. I saw black and midnight crimson.... still think I’m going with black. Thanks for the review!
Yeah at the end of the day I'd most likely go black too. Any modifications planned?
@@throttleblip9854 the saddle will probably get SDC seat. I’m going for forward controls: bad knees, it’ll be more comfortable. Maybe a Memphis shade fairing for when I’m going long distance, most of the time it’ll go without one. Stage One for sure. Bars maybe, long term... once I’ve got enough miles to judge it; it’s a pretty nice bar actually. Have to ride it awhile because I actually think this is one of the few stock bikes I like the looks of stock. Keep up the reviews, and thanks!
@@throttleblip9854 oh.... and if I decide to keep it long term: custom paint job of some sort on the tank. To really make it my own!
That’s gonna be niiice!
Very good review. Video quality is very good. Actually 1080p would have also looked good. 4k video files are just too big.
2.7k is fine, pay with your FPS 24,30,60 and see what happens. Also love that bike.
I think 30 for riding looks pretty good. Seems like the right amount of blur to look natural.
Your resolution is great, do the gages tell you what gear your in?
Picture quality is great
There's no pushing this bike for me. It's got far more power than my 2014 Street Glide. It's crazy fast. The only thing I really want to change beyond my original purchase add-ons (forward controls for my long legs, 14" ape hanger handlebars to keep me sitting up straight and Screamin' Eagle Slip-on exhaust for a nice grunt for now. LOL!!) is to just add the full exhaust system and any programmer/ firmware flash requirements beyond that. I just really am not that crazy about how quiet it is out of the factory. Sounds like riding my wife's 883 Super Low. LOL!!
Love your videos and channel, when will we be seeing the 2022 low rider s?
Great review, and video quality for the ride is really good
Glad you liked it!
Hi. Just bought the same bike in vivid black.
Hi. I am exited for the Low Rider ST, it would be great if you could make a review.
Great quality channel brother
Thanks for thanking us
Video/picture quality is good 👍🏼
Video quality looks great
I just got the 48. But i wanna have a bigger bike for long rides. I wonder if this lowrider s is short ppl friendly since I'm on the short side🤔 this bike is beautiful. It might be my next bike if i can reach it.
Well you could always lower the rear shock just a tad and wear some riding boots with the thicker sole if you don’t already.
One suggestion.
Alway mention your height and weight, the a shot of you n the bike as different size people will feel different on each bike
Quality is just fine but raising the gopro up a bit on the test rides would be good. Great bike, I have the regular chromed out Low Rider, plenty enough for me. Thanks
Video quality is great, just need to go back to the helmet mounted camera better view. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
It looks fine.
Thanks!
video quality good review very good maybe it's just me but move the camera up a little to see the tach speedo and a little of the road
Just started that starting with the Street Bob 114 video! Thanks for the love.
Best HD reviews on you tube.well done.
Thanks for watching!
Great bike and good info.... Resolution is ok. I will say that visually it was horrible lol, all I saw was a gas tank, can’t read the tach/Speedometer numbers. Thanks for telling me it’s over cast cuz I can’t tell
Watch the newer videos 😉
@@throttleblip9854 for sure, will do
Hello, Mr. Throttle. Very nice review and I greatly appreciate your efforts. I am considering this bike, but used to baggers. I am 6'4", do you think I will be comfortable on a bike this size? Eventually I will make it to my local Harley shop to sit on it, but would like your opinion. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
With these mid controls I’d think you’d be very cramped. I’m 5’11’’ and I feel a bit myself. I think if you put forwards on it, that would help but still may not be comfortable. I’d definitely go ride one if I were you. At your height the touring frame may be your only option.
For me...need a better camera angle or a second camera...I want to see where I'm going which is hard to do on this one (1st of yours I've seen so apologies if this isn't the norm!)
Great review video! Really informational! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!! I appreciate the support.
Video quality is great!!!
Quality is good. better cam position would be better
Saw this bike yesterday at the dealership. I've been putting it off for a reason. Now all I can think about is this bike. Lol. Nowhere near ready to buy right now....... poor people problems......
Hahaha I've been there man... Gonna be that much better when you get it
It would be great to see the sales figures for all the models worldwide and broken down into sales per continent. Lowrider S versus the Street Bob especially as they are very similar bikes. Forks, wheels, seats and three thousand dollars but not much else. Which is more popular and is there a significant difference in bikes sold i wonder ?
Video not bad, resolution a little grainy . For just starting out not bad but may I suggest adjusting the camera angle so it's not focused on the tank.
Thanks. I'm using a chest mount, would you think a helmet mount would be better?
I dig your stuff, bro. Subbed.
someday i shall own a low rider
SAME
A helmet camera would be good for some better views above the tank, be able to take in shots of the lake.
Yep thats what we have switched to! Thanks for the feedback.
Video quality excellent, great video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Cheers!!
Nice work on the video
Just bought one today. This comment is for personal reference. I'll let you guys know what I think. First HD! 9-24-21
Coming up on 10k subscribers. That next giftcard is going to be sweet 😆
The video quality is good
I like this Harley Davidson low rider s
It's nice for sure!!
Great bike. I would suggest riding with another bike so we can see all the angles. Thanks for the video.
I agree. I'm surprised how hard its been to get someone to go ride with me to help film. haha
Resolution ok. Camera is positioned too low. Needs to be helmet mounted or chest. 👍🏻
This is an older video. I’ve switched since. Thanks for the love!
Please change that camera position. Chest mounts are not good for a Motorcycle POV. Chin Mount provides the best perspective.
Looks fine to me.
Thank you!
That road looks not bad but the bike looks like a hard ride, how's the spine?
Awesome review I’m shopping for a bike but I’m not sure if a low rider s will be good for first bike ( harley) ?
First Harley, absolutely. First bike, probably not unless you have motorcycle experience.
Great job love that bike to good luck with the channel
Thank you! Once I get all the 21 reviews up hoping to do a build and some other cool stuff.
Awesome bike and video! Your resolution is fine.
Thanks, Jeff!
what do you use for a mic on the bike. The sound is almost too good. Unless you did a voiceover after the fact? Thanks
Great video, quality is fine
Thank you.
What a beauty. Fat Bob has my heart though. What would you go with?
The Lowrider S seems a little more nimble to me but the Fat Bob was a little more comfortable.
I love everything about the look of this bike EXCEPT that rear fender. The huge break light, and the overall length of it. If this had the Fat Bob rear fender this bike would be killer! I have an '18 Fat Bob, but considering trading in for a 2021 Low Rider S. I want to research and see if I can swap out the rear fender tho.
how did the research come along mate? that's a good idea!
@@rot8ingeskimo - Someone on the FaceBook group swapped it for a Fat Bob and it looks really sweet. I did purchase a 2022 LRS, but thus far have kept the stock rear fender. It's growing on me, looks wise. I did changed the license plate to a lay-down plate, as well as the rear brake light to something slimmer - I think it looks really nice now from the rear.
@@TalismanRocks awesome man, sometimes simple is a lot better
I like the video resolution. I would like to see some footage from a helmet cam, just me.
wish i could have heard a cold start exahust.
Camera is good. Would be nice to be higher though
Thats the next move! Getting my helmet painted then will be mounting to that.
