I just rode one of these for 5 hours and had so much fun but god that hard suspension and the lack of breaking left me craving my Ducati , worth a ride but not one I’d wanna live with
Alex said it best in the previous video. It's got poor brakes, heavy, pricey, old suspension technology, poor range due to small fuel tank. Not good for pillions. So who's the market? Simple, Harley Davidson lovers! However, biker's who love cruisers in the same similar style will more likely choose the Triumph Rocket 3 or the Ducati Diavel V4 for the same price point. Thanks guys!
I love the bike and chose it over the same class competitor models because of the forward foot position, torque, belt over shaft (Rocket), price point and I like having to work the bike in corners. If you did not make any adjustments to the bike regarding the breaking and suspension based on your weight and riding preference then I understand why you felt these were lacking.
@@qspawnq Yes, all this is why I want the Sportster S over the other bikes. I think it looks better also. I love the cruiser/sport bike combo with ultra modern/futuristic looks. Harley actually joining the modern world and I love it.
@@patrickgoldenbridge1891 if you want a Harley Davidson then nothing else will suffice because it's a Harley. I mentioned above that other biker's might want to check out the Ducati Diavel V4 or the Triumph Rocket 3 for the same price point. But it's really down to budgets. These bikes aren't exactly cheap. Moto Guzzi V9 or BMW's GS might be worth a look.
Great video guys fun format!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the comment!
Thing is Harleys were made to be customized you can upgrade suspension to a fancy one
The thrust in sport mode on this bike is extremely surprising. If you don’t hang on, it will literally pull you off the back. ‼️‼️😳
Too true!

Should I go for this one(Sportser S) or are their better alternatives?

But…but… the sound…..
It just needs an aftermarket exaust I made my harley dealer include one in the deal
@@josepina8793how much OTD if you don’t mind me asking?
Even my EVO Sporster got upgraded to Vance and Hines Exhaust. Most Harleys do ever stay with the stock exhaust
No one wants the sportster S
Oh really?
Sportster S, Nightster S and the Pan American are not selling very well in North America. @@TedMeyer-us6uk
I am buying one soon
@@Fhenz2001 Everyone knows that one person that wants one. That why so many dealers have them sitting for months on the flloor.
Idk...I've been looking at them for 2 months, just brought one home last weekend. I also ride kawi's dirt bikes, and a ninja.
