2020 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S (FXLRS) First Ride and Full Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2019
- An in-depth Review and First look at the New 2020 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S. In 2016 Harley-Davidson released what would be a widely popular cruiser - the Low Rider S. After only 2 years the model was discontinued and the dyna nation was devastated. Loyal followers of the bike, and the frame it was built on, were crushed as Harley-Davidson replaced it with a newer Softail frame. After a 2 year hiatus the Low Rider S is back and better than ever. Matt, Nick, and Andrew of Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson take the bike to Los Angeles for an extended test ride.

I purposely did not watch any of the other “reviews” videos floating around on TH-cam knowing I get the best info from you! Rad bike! Rad video! Super stoked to see you guys build one of these new lowrider s!
Agreed. This bike has me wanting a Harley again.
Thanks Anthony!!!
Thanks man. We appreciate the support. 👍🏻
anthony FXBB he said 2009??? It’s 2018
True comment
Been waiting for this one Matt . I believe it's thanks to you and your channel, (and some other channels like yours), but I think you have made a huge impact by giving all of us a voice & it's thru you & your subscribers that HDMC is listening and making the right moves now .
Thank you. That means a lot.
I agree with this sentiment. Building awesome, custom, club style bikes and then winning?? That sure helps the cause too!!!! Great statement lazzyRJ.
My local dealer had the Low Rider S on Demo Day. I was the 1st person on the 1st day to try it. Let me start by saying I tried a 2016 Low Rider S. Was impressed. Just didn't care for the Shaking. The New one, When we got back to the dealership, The HOG Director said I looked out of breath. Was Smiling the entire time. Amazed how powerful and smooth. Didn't even look at the Tach during the ride. Watching the group, Shifting gears, Couldn't get it to lug. Maybe later when I can better afford one. Trade in the 2018 XL1200C.
Heck yea, been waiting for this review Matt! Can’t wait for my preorder to come in to your shop!
ian delfin what’s up cousin, you got the new low low and I got the good ol 08 dyna lowrider! Can’t wait to rip out west with you 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Still smiling after buying my 2020 Low Rider S.
A SJ don’t listen to nay sayers. Every brand of every bike around is around because people buy them. People buy them because they work. Literally man... drive what speaks to your soul. When you look at it you think, “no fuckin way is that MINE”! That’s the bike.
@A SJ what bad stuff have you heard about HD? The guys that usually talk shit about Harleys usually have never even riden one.
A SJ I just bought a new softail deluxe. It’s flawless. Every bit as well or even better than the new ninja 1000 I bought last summer.
Same here brother
Spencer hallo my naam lex Iam coming vrom Amsterdam Holland whie dond cat the low rider s What Are the price
Best video yet! I have been waiting for you to review this one! Production values keep going up man! Nice work.
Matt Laidlaw, thank God your dealership survived. I think you are one of the last family dealerships left. (Not a group of dealers) I have been buying Harleys since the early 90's. Always bought from Fletchers in Clearwater FL. They got forced out some years back but, were in business for around 50 years. Bob Fletcher was a WW2 vet. Always took the time to talk to customers. Their service and prices were fair. And they cared about the customers. I have not been to your dealership but, I get the feeling you run it the same way. You make me want to travel 2300 miles to buy my next new bike from you. Eventually I will make it to your area and stop in. Thanks for the awesome videos.
I haven’t been to fletchers but it seems like a good dealership. WW2 vet? That’s cool.
Yes the landscape of dealer owners is changing a lot. A lot of the dealer groups are damaging the brand unfortunately. It’s all about profit over nurturing the brand and riders.
@@MattLaidlaw I don't know how long you have been going to dealer shows. But I'll bet your Grandpa knew of Bob Fletcher (Fletcher's H-D) and Joe Robison (Robison's H-D Daytona Beach) Joe always had tools in a basket, at the side entrance for us to use in a pinch. (Honor system) It all has changed but, I still like the bikes...and most of the people.
Pan M8, I echo your sentiment about family owned dealerships. I deal with my home town dealer Historic Harley-Davidson in Topeka KS. The Patterson family has owned since 1949. Folks there are super to work with and call me by name when I walk in the door. Only 60 miles from Kansas City so if you are ever there it’s worth the trip over. Also check out the Evel Knievel museum that is attached to the dealership.
I went to Laidlaw's on Oct 11th, 2019 to try to trade in my 2019 SGS for a BO and an R6 that they're selling. Though we couldn't come up with a deal, I have to say that Matt was a great guy to deal with, was open and fair. The dealership itself is gorgeous and the staff is super friendly. I would do business with Matt and his crew. They're the real deal. Great vids Matt.
Thank you Patrick. I wish we could have made a deal. I definitely want to earn your business one day. Thank you for giving us the chance. 👍🏻
Cool video. Informative from a rider's point of view. Good you had Andrew and Nick takes on the S given what they ride. Good work Matt.
Great video, got mine a few weeks ago, this bike definitely lives up to the hype, especially in the canyons, very responsive and well done. Harley hit a home run with this one
Great cinematography, Matt 👍🏻
One of you best videos by far Matt! I can see that you put a lot of work into it. Always a pleasure to watch your content.
Just sold my V Rod, this is deff one of my next bikes. Keep it up bro 😃
This is great! Thank you for your unbiased opinions and comparing the good and bad of both the Dyna & Softail models
Matt, Nick, Andrew … You guys knocked it out of the park with this review. I knew you would. I had mixed feelings when you previewed this bike at the dealer show. I half loved it, half grumbled about it. It has continued to grow on me since. I have to agree with Andrew. The new LRS is a great bike and probably a better bike, but there is just "something" about the Dyna OG Lowrider S. The only solution I can come up with, is to own one of each. Ride the pants off each, then see which one gets ridden the most. It's all in the name of science, right? Excellent work on this vid. Love the drone footage and using the ballpark as background for discussing H-D "knocking it out of the park" with this release. Sweet little detail. I also want to congratulate your team for the Coast Glide win. This was a huge pat on the back from H-D and the public for design excellence.
The comments and review are top-notch - the same goes for filming. The bike - in my opinion is one of the coolest from Harley-Davidson
This is the best review on the internet for this bike. Hella nice.
Awesome vid Matt, I like the new approach and editing.
Been waiting for this video to come out! Thanks guys!
Matt's videos never disappoint! Keep up the awesome work bro. And Harley, if you are listening, pay attention to Laidlaw. There tracking what we want 😜
First class production you guys are the best video makers Harley should be paying you big time.
Thank you! Thanks for watching
Great review and test ride on the new Low Rider S! I am excitedly looking forward to getting my hands on one.
Great video! Your views of the bike are much more in line with what people really want. Thanks for everything you do!
Love the bike! Just not sure if I could parts ways from my Fxdls.
My guy Matt's moving up on his video quality 👌🏽🤘🏽 hell yes
Thank you. We did invest more time and effort on this one.
@@MattLaidlaw it definitely shows! And congrats on winning battle of the Kings by the way big dawg! Team laidlaw swept the competition with that BADASS coast glide build your team did💪🏽🙏🏽
I didn't fall asleep this time!
I have watched other reviews and was wondering when you were going to post a review on the low rider but I am glad you took your time and having other riders that loved the dyna was an awesome touch still love my phat boy though but real good job 👍
Amazing review Matt 🤘🏽😎
Thanks Matt! I was looking forward to this review. This bike really has my attention. Hope you have a decent supply of these on hand!
Aaron Ross we have run out!!
Hands down best review! Fantastic job on the video!
Great video Matt. I have being waiting for this one and you blew it out of the park. A perfect, very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video. Cheers
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Dude! This video was epic. Definitely next level for Moto videos
Epic introduction and great video. Thanks Matt! Rock on 🤟
Loved watching the vid Matt, I think it’s your best to date, the drone shots were really great and the Motor Company would do well to take some of your segments and use them as part of a commercial. 👍🤙
What I like most about it is that there will be a lot of Fat Bobs on the secondary market for me when I'm ready to pull the trigger ;-)
niceguy91320 The Fat Bob has a higher price, Why? Smaller gas tank, smaller rear fender and no front fairing !
I will definetly be picking up a Fatbob in the near future!
They did this one right and the silver is a great color can’t wait to try one , thanks Matt for a different review
talking rock thanks for watching. We wanted to do something special for this bike.
Great job on the video this is the first one I’ve seen that does this bike justice!
Just bought mine! Wow, it’s an amazing machine!
Great information as always Matt. While I do like the low rider and the S. I can’t afford two so still waiting for the review of the new Road King Standard. Thanks for all you do to support Harley and motorcycles in general.
Thank you for making this video bro!!
Very well produced video Matt, you should be proud. I'm thinking of buying one of these as my around town short trip bike, keep miles off the CVO. Beautiful bike!
Ocala Fl.
Thank you. We sent some extra time on this one for sure.
Joe, I ride an '02 FXDL as a daily driver. You won't be disappointed as it handles like a champ. Traffic is a thing of the past.
Test rode it earlier this week. Love it. Rode quite a few soft tails during my trip to the dealer and the low rider s really stood above the pack. I am 5'8 and I liked the height better than the fat bob. The 114 is miles better than the old 103 in the breakout I tried. And the handle and foot control position is more comfortable to me than the street bob. The power is more noticeable above the standard 107 in the street bob too. The seat holds you in much better than the street bob too. I also took it on the highway and it just felt so smooth and comfortable. Def on my wishlist after I pay off my current rides
Missed out on keeping my brothers 2017 Low Rider S. Now that I’ll soon be getting a new bike.
This 2020 Low Rider S is in my sights.
I test rode one about 2 weeks ago loved everything about it can’t wait to get one later on
Just bought mine today, fresh off the truck. I pick it up first thing in the morning!!
I like it. They did a great job on this one. It's nearly perfect stock. I do wish they would have done clear LED turn signals though like so many other motorcycle manufacturers do today.
I want that bike bad man!
You won’t be disappointed
I got to ride this at a demo day last week. It is amazing!!
That's my second bike I'm getting soon! Love it!!
Great review Matt and loved the voice-over opening. It's going to be a winner for sure. Still, I'll never sell my CVO Dyna, but I've got my eye on your performance bagger!
As always great video Matt your honest on the upgrades!! These dynatails are best bike to buy and make all your own!! 124-128 the engine and add legends shocks and just have fun!
Hi there Matt!
Your videos are just getting better and better. When I first started watching your vid´s years ago they had a need for improvement but now.... They are everything I ever could wish for in the HD/motorcycle review world!!! The editing... man, WOW! This just simply is THE channel for Harley content, period!
About the bike. I have not tried it yet, I´m sure it deliveres. But I can´t shake off the feeling of disapointment anyway. As you mentioned, the original bike was something special with that engine and styling. Now it just feels like a styling excercise. Nothing special really. More engine, a cruise control maybe... It sure is beautiful bike. I agree with you on the tail light, it´s sweet! Propably a bike I would buy and tune but still, something special is missing.
Keep em´ coming sir!!!
Coming a little late to the comment section, I just purchased a 2020 Low Rider S and agree with what you and your team say about the bike. Between my daughter and I, we've purchased 6 Harleys in the last 4 years, her latest purchase was a 2020 Fat Bob. I appreciate all the videos you post as they help in many ways with our purchasing decisions. Thanks again Mr. Laidlaw.
Good to see the low rider S back, HD needs to put the 117 in to the next model. The original Dyna LRS was special because it had the bigger 110 in it, they need to do the same with this bike. Include cruise control and the bike will sell like crazy to the younger demographic, I would trade my FXFBS for it, but as it is now I'll stick with my FXFBS
100% on the 117. Also put back cruise control, that was a dumb as rocks cheap ass move on HDs part to delete. I'm not a fan of the front fender look either. Forks needs gators to protect the seals (a common issue on the FXDLS is blown out fork seals) and a clean Dyna style front fender and (insert long list of style mods here :)...
Bottom line is I'm hoping for a CVO version done right to replace my totaled FXDLS.
@@MakoVette the forks are inverted bro...
I got mine in vivid black last week and have ridden it everyday since. It's my first Harley and I have no regrets. The factory exhaust is pretty tame and right now the aftermarket is just beginning so looking forward to throwing some personal touches. My first "mod" was the license plate frame. Stock literally looks like a sail. Next up some LED switchbacks front and rear, exhaust, risers, seat and a sissy bar. Now if only my parts guy would hurry the f&$k up!
I have a 2015 dyna low rider that I love but the 20 low rider S is my dream bike.., great video Matt.
Damn this review was surprisingly well made
Love it so much I've already ordered and paid first two payment. However, I don't return to UK 'till 2021 so I've found a dealer that will allow me to purchase now , start on my long list of mods, and take delivery in 2021. (Thanks Sykes of Lewes UK and Sandy Cauldfield in particular). I disagree with Matt on that rear Butt light, I hate it, and getting rid of it is one of my mods. However, I'm keeping the rear fender as I love that.
Just FYI my mods list.
1. Stage 3 114 - 117.
2. Bassani road Rage III 2:1 exhaust black.
3. Fuelpak FP3.
4. Arlen Ness 65° AC.
5. Biltwell Murdock 8" Pullback risers with stock bars.
6. Saddlemen Step up seat with 'gripper' finish.
7. Defiance collection pegs all round (including pillion).
8. Heated grips.
9. HD optional larger fairing.
10. Custom Dynamics RingZ integrated LED front running light / turn signals
11. Colorado LED rear light LED brake / turn / lights
12. Side mounted license plate holder.
13. Black clutch / brake levers.
14. Plain denim black derby cover.
15. Flush mounted black fuel cap / gauge.
16. Flip mirrors to below bars.
17. Lithium battery & optimate charger / tender system.
But you folks have to have those big ole ugly yellow license plates. You all need to petition to get that changed.
@@mojomanmurph1925 They're ok on a side mount and you can cut them down within reason so long as the letters remain the 'standard' size. Although doing so ends up being a pain as it's attracts police like shit attracts fleas. That said, there aren't many traffic cops in the UK these days, it's mainly 'cameras' now.
Can’t wait to see what you guys are going to do to this bike as far as making it a real club style bike. Please don’t wait to long to make that happen. Can’t wait. 👍🏻
Like the new style of review, much prefer to see the rider on the bike and the drone footage is superb. Another great video. Bike looks good, but I think I’ll keep my Sport Glide.
Close to the perfect bike... really close... fun video matt... was starting wonder if you got lost😁 turned out to be worth the wait. I will watch this one more then once. It's already time up here to put the bikes away from the winter 😤 so thanks for the videos, they help pass the time 😎
Awesome video, Matt.
Enough said! Well done video! This bike will be my choice if I consider another H-D
Was just riding my buddies twin cam lowrider s yesterday, really sweet ride. Makes my road glide feel like a monster
What a great review!! Matt you nailed it !
I got my 2020 as soon as it came off the truck , the old one can’t even compare
I have enjoyed watching what changes you make to yours, BAM. I'm waiting for someone to add the quarter fairing. I'm really liking the looks of it. Wonder how well it works ??
Bad Azz Machines thanks man. Congrats on the bike. Enjoy it
Oregon Outback the quarter fairing is on backorder. Mine comes the 27th of Oct. I hope. I’ll absolutely post a video
Matt Laidlaw thank you. I can’t wait to see a build video from your dealership.
@@twomontess … This is exciting news, BAM. I'll be watching for this video. Thanks.
Awesome video! Thanks Matt
Love the rear fender and tail light!
Great video Matt !
Wow! what a great review...Thanks to all!
soon to be most ever viewed every by Matt
Very detailed video - thank you!
As always, awesome job! Can't wait to see what you guys do with one. Good luck with the Coastal Glide in Italy. Now if Harley will listen and put a FXRT fairing on the Sport Glide and offer the saddlebags as an accessory for the other models I think they could get a strong footing in the younger market. Keep up the great videos!
I'm older than the hills, and ended up buying a Sport Glide. It checks almost all the boxes for what you want.
Totally awesome video for an awesome bike. I can tell you guys put in the effort. You make a compelling case for this machine. I rode one at a demo truck event and it rocked. Also really looks great in silver.
Thanks man
"Picking up a passenger mid ride or spur of the moment." Sounds interesting, I like where this is going, go on...
I read a similar story in Penthouse.
That was the ending scene of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
Paul O'Neal YES!!!!
@@dickjohnson5025 It would be perfect if your middle name was Peter...
WOW 😮
What a video !
The first 1:55 is the Power House!
The narrative , the editing ....
👌👍💪🤘
Hats 🎩 off to you Matt !
✌️
Thank you!!
Once a dyna man always a dyna man.more please because we are not going away anytime soon.proud owner of a 2002 FXD. now sporting an S&S 124 CU ENGINE.after the oil pump broke in half.keep up the good work.following you from great britain.
"Freakin' Awesome" great job Matt!!
Bad Driver thank you!
Love this bike. Just got a 2019 roadster a month ago but the lowrdier s will be my next bike. I will be visiting laidlaw HD for sure.
Excellent video
Truthfully, I probably wouldn't buy the Low Rider S, but I must say, your videos are getting better and better. Keep up the fantastic work. Love the L.A. scenery.
Awesome bike and awesome video Matt, thanks I really enjoyed this.
Thanks man. 👍🏻
Amazing video and review. I was at your dealership the other day but I didn’t know you were Matt. Love the bike and hope one day I can upgrade my current sportster to this one
My identity has been revealed. Darn haha
Thank you for making this video. All you're videos are the awesome!
Thanks! Thanks for watching.
Finally. The review that I(we), have been waiting for- awesome info and insight as always Matt & Nick! ☝🏾
Bought a '19 HD Low Rider that I've since customized to make my own. But I can't help to be drawn to this trifecta setup between the M8 114, inverted fork and steeper rack angle. Not too mention the added dual disc front brakes.
Love the review, love the new video quality and love that new 2020 Low Rider S!
Maintain your spark, bro 👊🏾
Thanks brother. Enjoy your bike. 👍🏻
I liked the Fat Bob initially but my favorite Softail is the new Lowrider S... I liked the old one alot... A smart move by Harley as the Lowrider S had a big fan base.. I am excited to see the Pan America with the new liquid cooled engine next... I hope Harley will blow our minds...
I test rode it and feels great..first time riding a soft tail..I’m an owner of the Dyna Low Rider 2017 not S and for me I like the Dyna better, it’s flawed and has character..and can also customize it to be as powerful as the Dyna Low Rider S, however riding the Softail was just so comfortable and easy to ride..I’d consider it but honestly wouldn’t give up my Dyna for it..if I were buying a softail today I absolutely love the FXDR as an addition to my Dyna..the new S is awesome and would love another test ride..great video..keep it up..!
As others have said, I haven't watched any other review videos and have been waiting for yours! Super high quality and the cinematics are on point! Excited to trade in my FXBB later this year and get the S. I've test road it when the demo truck stopped by Huntington Beach Harley and I instantly fell in love, especially the 114 and the suspension. Completely different from the FXBB for sure, atleast to me! Keep up the videos Matt and they're getting better everytime!
Thanks man! Come see me when you’re ready to trade in. 👍🏻
That is - a projected image up a little taller than on the tank. Thanks again for your awesome review.
That was an incredible vlog Matt. Great production value. I sat on the new Lowrider S and I felt crunched on it. I would need forward controls. I like to stretch out. I’m curious being your height how you felt sitting on the bike? Keep up the great work guys. Loved the location shots and your insights on the bike.
Thanks man. I’m definitely too tall for the rider triangle this bike puts you in. I can still enjoy it for a couple hours though.
Wow...this was a great video all around!
Again a perfect informative video ,big clean thumbs up 😂 love the low rider S !
Timo Nylund thank you. And thanks for watching
Awesome review looks like a great bike. Personally I'd go for the 2017 Dyna if I could afford another bike but that is just my personal like. Might have to go test ride a new one though.
Beast HD! Thanks for the reviews.
I agree with Oregon Outback & MrLucky74 on several things here. 1. Great vid as usual. I always look forward to what you guys have to show and say in your content. 2. The new LRS looks amazing and I can’t wait to test ride one mainly to get a feel for that front end. 3. Love your Coast Glide and Congrats on the US win. Now conquer the world with it! 4. FXRT Fairing and Sport Glide bags along with taller suspension and T bars and it’s definitely a contender to be sitting next to the ‘08 Fat Bob in the garage!
Hey Matt, Exceptional review as usual. Hey, you mentioned having an issue with looking down at speedo/tach/gear. I have a Road King and deal with the same. What would you think about a projected image
The day Alaska got one I bought it fresh out the box got rid of the ole 113ci road king for the FXLRS and happy I did it
That was an awesome intro. That will stick with me for years. Very moving.
Thanks man. 👍🏻
As a former owner of a 1978 Low Rider and current owner of 1980 Low Rider, the new 2020 LRS is mostly everything I want. Every year I check out the new models but didn’t pull the trigger bc there was always something I didn’t like. 2020 LRS is pushing me to finally say yes. Only change I would like to see is smaller gas tank and/or lower console and be very cool available in original 1978 gunmetal gray paint with red Harley Davidson lettering of course minus the AMF logo. While I understand Harley Davidson is appealing to a specific demographic, there still old guys like me waiting for the right bike. 2020 LRS is the one . FINALLY. Also good job on the video, been checking everyday for your review.
Awesome review of this bad ass bike Matt!
Thanks for watching. 🤙🏻
Just got my 2020 lowrider s! Put the 2to1 exhaust and a crash bar on it! Put a few hundred miles on it the past few days it's so awesome totally worth the money and it looks great too!
Nice man. Enjoy the bike 👍🏻
I love it when you can hear the engine not the exhaust
The engine is the heart and soul of the motorcycle
@@kriskringle6298 yep I do know what I said the exhaust is not the engine
Take a minute and look up some very old engine sounds and beautiful sounding
plus if you're listening to the engine you know if something's going wrong with that engine faster than anything else
Have you ever been to a steam for the very old engines they sound so beautiful raw engine sound is beautiful compared to exhaust sound
Good straight up review matt. Chur
I’m three months into owning my dream 114 fatboy.. not even been tempted to look at any other models, they didn’t interest me . Until now..... damn.
