- I got to ride the Harley-Davidson '72 at Bikes, Blues and BBQ in 2014! Best ride of the day!!! My microphone fell out of position about mid ride. Sorry about the audio.
Every time I watch a video with sportster 72 I get excited about getting one.
Mee too.
I wanted to ask you if you really like the ride with that narrower front wheel, as compared to a 48 Sporty.
You're not going to get the handling/comfort, compared to the 48.
Man i just recently bought my first bike and was a 72 love it man got plenty of speed for me. Im not a 70 mph rider, if your cruising at 55 its great and not going on long trips
6'2" floating around 210lbs, I love my 2016 72. Just need some fwd controls and maybe some longer handlebars and I feel like I'd be set.
I bought 2013 model 72, cannonball Terra haute! I absolutely love it! More than my heritage softail!
The 72 is great in and around town. Long rides are a no go. I'm 6ft and 240, and I always feel like I'm too big for the bike. I love the way it feels though. I added Vance and hines straight shot exhaust, a mustang solo seat, and I moved the handlebars forward. ... love riding it.... thinking about getting the 4.5 gal tank or just upgrading to street bob (bc i do long trips, bigger gas tank, six gear, bigger front and rear tires)..... Dont know yet.. we will see....great review
Thanks for watching Sergeant Coy. Yes, I agree. The '72 for me THAT day was best of show. Reminded me of the little chicken hawk off of the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. lol Small in stature, BIG attitude.
I'm 6ft 230 and feel great on my 06 xl1200l! Of course I added 12" mini's and with the forward controls it's awsome! 4.5g tank let's me cruise on 2-3hr rides no problemo.
I haven't had the chance to ride one, but I did see one sitting at the local dealership, and really liked what I saw, but 2 gallon tank? Whaaaaaaaat?!
I guess it's WONDERFUL for putting around town, or on a short ride across a county or 2, but that tank isn't going to get the job done, if you do any sort of serious distance. Which is a real shame. Hopefully they'll improve that sometime, because it really does look amazing.
I don't know why I sold mine. miss it every day. Best bike I've ever had.
I Love my 72! I''m 5'11 and 208 and my little Purple Dragon loves it! I'm a former US Marine infantry Sgt, and I'm all about old school style. Light, FAST, mean, beautiful! I have a tall sissy bar with a pad in the back, and helped out passengers with two thin hippies at different times on the road in Hawaii--and everybody is crazy about this bike!
SEMPER FI DEVIL DOG!
Cette moto est GÉNIAL tout simplement, légère, puissante, souple, que du bonheur, si si et n'écoutez pas les "mauvaises langue", après quels modifications comme le réservoir pour plus d'autonomie, et une selle bi-place pour plus de confort pour "madame", elle est super ! bonne route à tous
Nice bike! I just picked up a 2012 72… will be restoring it…😊
That almost sounds like how my Sportster likes to run. I have rode may a sporty and mine seems angry with the world vs. the others and takes off a lot better. Even with loaded saddle bags and my wife as a passenger ol' Reba will run up to 110 even climbing a hill. (have not gone any faster on the highway for fear of a wondering Smokey)
Lol I hear ya there! I was super impressed with that 72. If it were a full size (due to my full frame) it would probably be in my future.
peanut tanks are inconvenient but their cool factor is off the charts man
There’s nothing cool about small tanks, likewise with your small Peter
I been really thinking bout the 72. Might go test one out nxt month. You know Robert Robb has one and did a tank swap on his. Just a sharp looking bike and seems to ride good according to you. Thanks for the review.
Your welcome Steven Hearron and thanks for watching! Robert Robb is one of the reasons I was so excited about this ride. I love what he has done to his. It's a scaled down cooler (maybe lol) version of my '14 Street Bob. Keep me posted on what you decide!
Surpluzz Several weeks ago the Harley demo truck came to Paris Tx. I got to ride the new Lowrider. They wouldnt let me remove that little cusion on the seat. I was cramped but enjoyed it nonetheless. I didnt like the mid mount controls. They dnt make those with fwd controls which is unfortunate. They didnt bring the 72 either! But when they come back next year I'll go again and ride more bikes and hopefully the 72. Maybe itll be warmer too. It was barely 60 that day. A bit to chilly for me to be riding. I had to watch your video again. Itll hold me over til i get to ride the ol 72 myself.
Steven Hearron Lol, glad you enjoyed it. I have yet to ride the Lowrider, hopefully soon, it's pretty cool. I've already got the itch to ride mine but it's just too darn cold.
I have one 11000 mi. Im in Sacramento $7500
Best review man, no BS just a good bike ride well done thanks !!
Oh yeah that s
Really something its almost like as i was riding it
Would you recommend this as a first motorcycle for a 5”8. 230lbs man?
I am 5"9' and 220.. love it
The looks of the bike is great but why do they put such a small tank on it? If you enjoy riding this bike you don't want to fill up the tank every 3-4 hour of riding.(Just an example)If you were riding with a group they would ditch you soon enough because they got sick of stopping all the time at a gas station hehe
Lol I know right? Deal breaker for me. Super fun and cool bike though.
+Surpluzz Hope I get the change to try this bike in february or march...Weather isn't any good here now in Norway.
Fantastic clip .
I purchased a 72 last week its a superb bike .
I traded in my 2 year old triumph t120 ,the 72 wins all the way .
Here's a link to my 72

Just bought one of these. A “Lucky Green” 2013 with 9,300 miles. Stock except for a Vance & Hines air cleaner and a pair of short shot mufflers. Love it!!
Ooo, I bet that sucker sounds GOOD!
That little Sporty rips. Wow! Thanks!!
Abs breaks?
Great review.Wich one would you recommend as a beginners bike,the 72 or a streetbob?
Definitely the 72, smaller and less power all around but all of the cool.
+Surpluzz agree 100%! I'm a beginner and i got the 48 one week after i got the 72 and im so in love with it. Worth mentioning that im only 5'5 ft and this fits me perfectly.
Every sportster I been on I feel like I am too big or too tall for it. I have only been on old shovelheads with the shifter on the wrong side and that freaked n me a out. Maybe these new ones are better with the shifter on the left and forward controls. I have had ten Harley's over the last fifty years but no sportsters.
it sounds low noisy than the other bikes such as deluxe or streetbob and i didnt like the way it sounds
Speedometer location is ugly. I have the same motorcycle.
Effing LOVE my 72. First HD. And it was the right choice.
ohh man this video is killing me been looking at these for about a year finally got good money dont know what im waiting for now that i can do it i find myself investigating every bike i cant decide between the 72 and some other cruzer was it loud enough i want to be straight up loud and was it reall shaky wobble in the front i live in Humboldt so alot of turns did i ask if it was loud enough
love my 72! I go to bikes blues & bbq every year in it.
Beautiful bike. Would you recommend this for a rider around 5’8” 230lbs?
I recommend you ride one first. 🤙
I'd like to know if you could add drag bars
My favourite H-D
Biker: this is the1200 right?
Man: ignores question, talks to someone else
Man a few moments later: do you have any questions
Biker: I certainly do not 🖕
Lol
Wonder if there a cheap one that not to high
Is that a Henry Denison?
is my favorite model!!!
The 48 is an 883
+Andrew Patterson no. 48 has 1200 engine
+zeez hadhrawi my mistake. I was thinking of the iron
@@DangerTurtle91they make an iron in both displacements, the 883 looks better imo.
how is it on bumps?
2:51 bottomed out damn
how is she on a 200 mile trip?
I don't know. lol
What did you film this with?
GoPro Hero 3+ black edition. Thanks for watching!
Looks clean! Im getting a 2015 72 in Feb. with the Lucky green candy custom paint.
