  • Not the usual kind of video, today I'm riding my Dad's 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200 Custom (now that's a mouthful!).
    This is the first time I've ever ridden a cruiser, let alone sat on one, so it was definitely an eye opening experience and really not what I expected.
    Riding a cruiser for the first time has now ticked off that curiosity I had at the back of my head, all this time when seeing so many Harley's on the road. Watch the video to find out my thoughts!

    I love Harleys they are respected on the road 😂😂 unlike other bikes these bikes are for real men that won't get disrespected on the road

      @@AusMoto Yeah they are great 😂🤣and it's impossible to bump such a loud bike and very fat bike

    I went from a naked bike to the sportster, and I agree, it took a bit of time to get used to the forward controls. Love the sound of them.

      They bloody sound awesome!

    Nice! Looked brand new!
    I rode a Road King recently, beautiful bike. Very comfortable and surprisingly easy to ride for the size of it, couldn't believe the way it vibrated when sitting at the lights.

    • @AusMoto
      @AusMoto  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, it was super clean!
      They move much better then I thought and yeah, vibrations were crazy but engine mounts did a great job of dampening them!

    Great buy - nice and clean! Sounds awesome and enjoyed hearing your excitement.... I reckon you'll add something similar well before 20 years 😉

      I didn't, until I sat down on it 😎

    There is just something about riding a harley. Try out a streetgilde sometime. 6 gallon tank , six speed electronic cruise. 250 mile + range. You barely got out of 3 gear on that sporty. I have a 2013 1200 xl custom fuel injected and a 2012 streetglide with nearly 70,000 miles on that I bought new. Love them both.

      They certainly are nice bikes!

    I do have a soft spot for Harley's. I had an 1584cc FXDC and loved it. But after time, I started taking the DR650 every ride so figured it was time to sell. A little sad but, I gotta say, I don't miss it at all.

    • @AusMoto
      @AusMoto  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, definitely couldn’t have one as my only bike - gotta have something versatile that can also go off-road like an adv or dual sport.
      I reckon the Harley makes sense as a second, third or fourth bike…just depends how cashed up you are hahaha 😂

    That was how I felt the first time I rode a sportster, and is why I now own one and have 20K miles on it over two years so far ;)

    I always hated Harley and then bought a 2017 Fatboy 2 months ago and love it. Hope to buy a BMW S1000XR in the future, until then I’ll be putting around on the Fatboy.

    Get on a V-Rod for a test ride fella you'll definitely want one

    • @AusMoto
      @AusMoto  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, I think I'll need to avoid ever riding one, otherwise my wallet won't be happy!

    • @pakarakia291
      @pakarakia291 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you want a pig of a HD too ride get a 2000-2005 Dyna fxdx or similar model. They're not for looking at though absolute thrash machines bud. Watch Ryan Kruesi videos you'll see what I mean. Safe travels 👍🏽

    You have got to wear shorts a thongs on a Harley you know. Just kidding. I could see myself riding a road king one day for some big trips. Love the sound.

      Haha, the sound was 90% of the reason I enjoyed riding it!
