This was my first street bike, but I had years of experience riding dirtbikes at a decently high level. If you’ve never ridden a bike before but really want a Harley I would recommend the 883 version of the sportster or maybe even the Harley Davidson Street 500!

I had never rode any sort of motorbike at all before I took my MSF course. Before I took my class, at the age of 25, I found an 883 on Facebook for a decent price and I scooped it up. After passing my class, and getting my license I rode the 883 for about two months before I got bored and traded it in for a 1200. Now two years into riding I’m already bored with the 1200. Mostly because I have aspirations of riding longer distances with a bigger gas tank, and for a more comfortable ride. If you’re old enough to respect the machine then I would go with something that might scare you a little bit to be honest. I’m a firm believer in respecting the machine. If you can always remember that these things can kill you then I think you’re mature enough to get a little bit of a bigger bike. If you’re young and dumb then get something that’s smaller and slower. No doubt I don’t regret the choices I made with the bikes I’ve had, but part of me wishes I would have just bit the bullet and got a Street Bob for my first bike since it’s so low to the ground, and I can almost guarantee I wouldn’t be bored with the power of the bike yet. Just my opinion though. It’s obviously up to you and what you believe your capabilities are at the end of the day.

I will look into that!

Dang man I just looked, and it seems they may have! I got mine off their website. That's a shame I love mine. I know Thrashin supply made a similar set, but they were much more expensive. Maybe check the used market or send the company an email never hurts to ask!

@@CopeRides yeah I like the Thrashin ones but those and the ones Torque have now you need to relocate the tail lights.

I will definitely miss mine when the time comes! I completely feel with wishing it has a 6th gear.

Thanks man! Keep stacking miles and stay safe!

Personally, I'd say the lowrider ST would be what you describe but bang for buck ya can't beat a sporty!

Low rider ST is also a good buy. I like low rider S more than ST. Those fairings and saddlebags just kills the looks for me. I’m happy with a backpack and tank bag. For occasional camping luggage there are other options. For daily I just use SW motech tank bag( magnetic) .

@@CopeRides another motorcycle that is currently bang for your buck is BMWR18 baggers.

I’ve considered the tank, but I just hate to change it for looks! I’d love to take a ride on the new nightster just to see how they compare!

Hahah right on! I’ve actually owned this bike now for about 3 years. Plan on making a long term review video soon! Stay safe as well brother!

Thanks man!

Not worth the price difference in my opinion….you can pick up a basically new 690/701 for 10k. My buddy paid 18k OTD for his new 698 rve…..almost double the price and that doesn’t include the $3500 Ducati wanted for exhaust and tune to keep his warranty….$21,500 for a supermoto….WTF.

@@slomango7927 And KTM is working on a new 690/701 for 2025. So I should be more comparable.
