  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
  • The 2nd motorcycle in Harley-Davidson's retro-style Icon's Collection has been announced. Modeled after the 1983 FXRT, the El Diablo embodies the spirit of the 1980's counterculture "Harley scene" while delivering a contemporary bike that gives a nod to the southern California style. H-D's Icons Collection is a series of bikes that comes out with a new retro style version of a significant motorcycle in Harley's history once a year. The El Diablo has been an instant hit because of the wide appeal of the Low Rider ST that was just launched this year. Combine that with the FXRT inspiration, amazing paint, exclusivity, and stereo and you have a extremely high-demand bike. Limited to only 1,500 world wide this bike is going to be a hard one to get.

    Good to see your dad again. I have the last RT made. Followed it down the line in York and road it back to Milwaukee. 30 years working for the motor company, I I had your dad in several company classes along with your grandpa. Glad to see the revival of the RT over the last few years - best bike HD ever made, I have 275,000 + miles on mine and ride it every day. Thanks for the memories.

    Makes me happy to hear the stories of the "new" evos. Seems that history has repeated itself with the M8. Just goes to prove the brand loyalty is still there.
    Thanks for taking us down memory lane, Jerry, and glad you still can ride with a big ole smile on your face. It keeps us young, doesn't it?
    I remember the print advertising for "The Legendary FXR: Maybe this time nothing will get lost in the translation."

    • @MattLaidlaw

      I thought the same thing as I was listening to Jerry talk about those times. History definitely repeats itself in the Harley world with people's initial perceptions of the new engines/motorcycles coming out. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching

    I love the el Diablo ! But I’ve grown sick of black and plain Harley paint jobs. Love the colourful cvo paint work jobs ! I can’t say the low rider st is the most comfortable Harley I’ve ridden due to the high mid mounted pegs and somewhat strange riding position in relation to the bars but I’m 6ft 3. Stunning bike tho one of my favourite looking Harley bikes.
    Nicely done video Matt. Some good editing. Nice to see your dad reminiscing - i love listening to guys of his genre talking about bikes.

    I'm glad to catch up on your work and it's nice I didn't mis this.
    For me something has been missing between my Road King and the 95 FXDL I ride and always thought it was the FXR.
    Now I know for sure because your dad told me. Ty Matt!

    As much as the bike looks great i believe they should have added a little more. The side skirts on the fxr that look like the road glide ones. As well as a small tour pack matched with the paint would have been an extremely nice addition to seperate it from the rest of the bikes. The add ons really make a difference like they did the first icon bike with the pogo seat and the new bag guards.

    • @MattLaidlaw
      @MattLaidlaw  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yea, they could have taken it to a whole new level which would have been cool. Their costs for a niche bike though would be tough to cover. That would be cool to somehow do that though

    I purchased a two tone red one one in 91. Turned out to be the last one. Ran off to Colorado with a friend who had a 88 BMW krs. Here the Peoria area of central Il it didn't sell,
    well. Just didn't look like a Harley! You dad's input was great to hear and I believe it's spot on. We rode all over rockey mountain national park etc. It hung with K bike very well. I believe I had a larger smooth bore machuni on it. The new one will be hit this time, even with out a cassette player...

    Honestly Harley Davidson needs to stop with the boring paint jobs and start doing real paint jobs like the El Diablo and all of their classic bikes. Just my opinion.

    T.u. I love my 83 FXRT true it wasn't excepted by the Harley crowd as it was viewed as a Gold Wing bcuz of the fairing and bags, I left the bags at the dealership installed custom made large leather bags.
    One nite when I had a Lincoln continental toying with me like Jerry's story we passed an 🚑 at 110+-
    Later on I dropped the faring.
    P.s. presently a basketcase.
    To elaborate: I purchased as a leftover demo in February of 86 with 2,683 miles, I had been actively searching for several months, I had decided to purchase the metallic Gray 82 low rider the dealership had, it was a snowy day I missed a turn on way there, when I did arrive I opened and held the door for people exiting, as it turned out I held the door for the guy who just purchased the 82 lowrider, the salesman was quick to sell the 83 FXRT next to it, dealership was proud he sold 2 Harleys b4 coffee break in a snow storm.
