    Stellar video and editing!
    I ordered my Sportster S this past Spring and it finally arrived last week and boy am I having a great time! They’ll mention the suspension... I don’t care . The smallish gas tank... I don’t care. True, rain will get get you wet .. ha ! I don’t care. What I do care about is how much fun this bike is . It is addictive, fun to ride and incredibly fast!

    Took this for a test ride yesterday and nothing but positive feedback. The linear power of the rev max is insane on such a small frame. Love it.

    I've had my Sportster S since last November... 3000+ miles on her at this writing; love it!
    I added the full "Wild One" package, as well the Sundowner saddle, wind-screen, heated grips, rain guard and tail bag. I still love my antique, but the Sportster S is my "go-to" bike. Its fabulous!

    my first harley, only had jap sport bikes before. my only complaint is i hate the forward controls so much that i did not ride the bike until i made rearsets and jacked up the rear by 2 inches. love it now, almost feels like a sport bike. I think harley put forwards so they can sell the mid control option which is ridiculously expensive. $1194.00 for parts only. maybe another $300 to fit ?

    Leave to Harley man. They just couldn’t come in with regular, conventional, 17” road wheels like 90% of street bikes. Not Harley! 16” super fat, big, overemphasized and bold. Fits the overall theme of the bike though, and the Harley way.

    I guess you never rode a XR1200 then, which easily gets the front up in first and second if you aren't careful (I know i own one) plus it sounds like a Harley. The new revo motors are the absolute worst soundin engine i have ever had the misfortune to hear on a bike , my lawnmower sounds better. I have heard every aftermarket system available and that just makes it sound horrible and louder. These new ones may be a bit faster then my older XR, but mines a Harley, these new ones are some sort of metric wannabe. Its a damn good bike but they missed the mark yet again.

    • @fs3994
      @fs3994 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You mean a lot faster than your old XR. Actually it does everything better, to include cruise control. The old XR wasn't a good seller for a reason.

      @@fs3994 you mean all that new tech that has been nothin but headaches for most rev max sporty owners? I'm fine without all the gee whiz stuff and I prefer my torque down low and would LOVE to catch a new sportster s from light to light. These rev max bikes are gonna be another street failure. The XR's weren't big sellers because they stopped, handled, had plenty of power and were reliable, so they didn't appeal to the typical Harley guy. Great bike ahead of its time. sorry your rev max bike sounds like a lawn mower with a bad exhaust leak lol
