    Congrats on the new bike! I love my Nightster. For those that say it is a girls bike, I usually respond that I like girls so I’m ok with it. Enjoy it - be safe!

      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!

    I have a street rod 750. XG750A and I don’t need another bike. Customised everything I wanted. People complain about many things but you still see they buy expensive softails or touring bike and still customise to fit them 😅. One thing I miss is cruise control. I only feel like buying the new Nightster S 975 . It has more space and cruise control. I can tell you for fuel capacity you can install custom 1200 4 gallon tank on yours .

      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!

    Get you some Road King air shocks to help the ride. They basically bolt up with some washers/ spacers.

    It’s a good bike . I have seen the bike and have checked it out . Have not done a test ride yet . I think it is the most fun+comfort+performance bike from Harley.

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

    • @cisa1622
      @cisa1622 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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) .

    I started on a 1200xl then went to low rider s. I miss my iron. It was super fun , wish it had a 6th gear was my only real gripe.

    Sweet ride, bro. If ever want to get something a little faster. Look at a street bob or a low rider s. They have a lot comfort and style of a harley, but with the power of a bagger.

    Where did you get the saddle bags? I’ve been trying to find them but I think they discontinued them.

    • @CopeRides
      @CopeRides  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!

    Would you recommend it for a beginner bike

    • @CopeRides
      @CopeRides  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!

    • @austinwooten2795
      @austinwooten2795 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
