10 important H-D Sportsters in history 1957-2022

[@AndyBengston]

I have 3 sportsters and I think they are great!!A 83 XLX,80 XLH Roadster and a 87 XLH 1200.I have been told many times to sell them all and buy a modern big block but I just carn't do it.I'm getting older and having to maintain them is alot of fun and keeps the ol brain ticking. They are different to ride,sound cool and give me a smile.

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

I think they’re great too, there is a lot of fun to be had with an older bike. The new bikes don't have the sound and are going away from chrome, and they are becoming rockets.

[@paullesho2693]

I bought a 2005 sportster 1200 custom XL a year ago and I am well pleased with this bike. Changed to Amsoil and it runs quieter and cooler . A real keeper. Plenty of power O.E.

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

I really liked my Sportster it was fun and sounded great, no engine sounded as good as a Harley and I was getting over 50 mpg.

[@headreddedstepchild6177]

I got a 2005 883 earlier this year. I absolutely love it, however, I want more power and torque

[@fostexfan160]

Those new Harleys look like they belong in those Judge Dredd movies. Not for me, I'm going for a nice 2009 sportster I've seen in a bike shop

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

I like cruisers myself and am a big evolution motor fan. I don’t ride over 80mph New England roads not very safe for high speeds.

Nothing like an AI generated computer voice to keep us from wasting more than 16 seconds.....

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

Understanding what you said, my future productions will not use this computer generated voice.

[@chrishoesing5455]

Why the computer voice?

[@Yo-mamashouse]

What about the first year evo?

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

Agreed the evolution motor and the $3995 when you buy and when you trade up got me looking at new Harleys. And definatly was a game changer for Harley-Davidson.

[@DanielPratt-bj9ly]

The first year evo sporters were dog shit

[@albertpendergraff5149]

I have a Harley Davidson sportster it's all black with chrome and it's all original and it still looks brand new and it has very low miles I take very good care of it

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

Harleys are my favorite bikes , then Victory’s.

[@zekecorder8226]

Used to have a 1957 XLCH. Now sorry I sold it, but at the time I was raising 4 sons and simply did not have the time or money for a scooter. One of the prime mechanics of the Brother Speed club of Boise rebuilt the engine when I first got the bike, but it needed a lot more work that I simply could not afford, at the time. Certainly miss that bike, but the damage it did to my knee with the slipping starter gears is now requiring me to replace my knee.

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

The old bikes were tough on the rider but had soo much character....

[@martinkeet8373]

You stuffed that up!! The AI voice didnt help either🤔

[@FourIntoOne]

lots of inaccurate info here. I especially like in the 1971 sportster section you show an evo engined hardtail chopper.

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

It's entertainment and its not perfect but my videos are getting better. It is getting alot of likes for me. Thanks for watching and I am striving to put out better products every time.

[@oldbuzzard76]

Love the sportsters , but not (what I consider ) , the very ugly model 'S ' . Wish they would have named it something else .

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

I agree, and wish they kept an evolution engine somewhere in the new models.

[@oldbuzzard76]

As we know, It's all about smog emissions. Have to pray , it doesn't all lead to electric motorcycles by mandate !@@bobsfreeworld6620

[@rodan2852]

Just traded my 04 xl for a 57 XL lol

[@jonnymac8925]

It's funny because I bet you are both happy with your new Sportsters!

[@gianpietrocapoferri724]

1998/2003 XL 1200 S Sport 🤔 No Comment? Sportster Nonplusultra!

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

Sportsters are a lot of fun, sorry I didn't understand you comment..

[@freyatilly]

Can you do human commentary rather than AI?

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

I agree a Human voice is much better

[@travelinben1966]

The older Sportsters looked infinitely better than what they're making now imo.👎

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

The older Sportster looked better and sounded great, the Evolution engine had a classic sound unique to Harley. The new Bikes are much faster .....

[@travelinben1966]

@@bobsfreeworld6620 Yes,but I'm not into the stying on most of them.

[@arnoldmosk494]

Ever heard of the Sportster Sport ? Now that‘s a nice ride !!!

[@kamandir62]

Why 2010 xr1200? It was released in 2008.

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

uropean-Only Debut (2008): The XR1200 was initially introduced for the overseas market (everywhere except the USA) in 2008. European riders were the lucky ones who got their hands on this sporty first. At that time, American riders could only watch from afar as the XR1200 made waves across the Atlantic. U.S. Release (2009 and 2010): Thankfully, in 2009 and 2010, the XR1200 became available for purchase in the United States. The first batch of 750 XR1200s sold in the U.S. came in a vibrant orange color and even included a signed number plate by racing legends Scott Parker and Kenny Coolbeth1.

[@theone861]

Sounds like a list made from stats but, not experience.

[@someguitarguy.]

Made it almost halfway before ditching because of the computer voice. Seems to be good info but use a human.

[@kennyowens2189]

The sportster s isn't a real sporty

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

It is fast and mean looking , I hope Eric Buel can make a race version!

[@tinman7130]

sooo much misinformation pathetic

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

sorry you didn’t like it maybe the wizzard of Oz can help

[@martincvitkovich724]

Thumbs down. showing Choppers, not Sporteters

[@bobsfreeworld6620]

The choppers in the beginning were easy rider, a hugely popular motorcycle movie in the U S A

[@johnranallo424]

This vid is so full of mistakes! Unwatchable.
