2022 Low Rider S Review and First Ride! Is FXLRS 117 better than Fat Bob 114??

[@shadwox9808]

Im a cruiser lover too ive own and tried all sort of cruisers in my 40 years of riding and i finally found for me the ultimate cruiser and i bought it one month ago and its my 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 GT the 2500 cc motor is out of this world.The torque man the torque just wow in Harley number its a 153 cubic inches imagine hehe.Ride safe mate.

[@KSMotoCafe]

yeah I would consider the Rocket 3 an ultimate cruiser. I haven't ridden it by just specs alone, it is a beast

[@KSMotoCafe]

Thanks for watching! What do you think is the best softail? Edit: The ST model's fairing is NOT like the Sport-Glide where it can be taken off easily because the the turn signal lights are hardwired to the fairing!

[@Adonis_NL]

Hey! I don’t know if the Chief Dark Horse is a soft tail but I would pick between the Low Rider S and that bike. 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

[@KSMotoCafe]

@@Adonis_NL Indian motorcycles do make amazing bikes!

[@yoso585]

Great presentation. I feel so fortunate to ride in an area where these huge displacements are meaningless and would only be boring for me. Love my older rigid mounted evos with useless rear brake, etc.. But the chrome and analog speedo displays and the feel of the machine just make my day. Just don’t need the modern bikes so I get to save a lot of doe on the older stuff. Ride safe!

[@KSMotoCafe]

I hear you man, cruisers just feel like a cruiser when it rides like a raw machine! thanks for watching

[@fatbobchronicles6125]

Owned a fatbob (my 1st Harley) fora couple of yesrs and now find myself drawn to the classic styling of the low rider 🤔

[@williambradley6093]

Bro. I just got the fat Bob 114. Absolute unit. Traded my low rider st for it and haven’t looked back

[@KSMotoCafe]

hell yeah - I always do a double take look whenever I spot a fatbob

[@chrislecouteur2360]

I have this bike with forwards control's & exhaust is a V&H a remap for the exhaust ..... OMFG, what a bike. It's the best bike I've owned. I've owned a 2020 fat bob, and the LRS with forwards is way better ..... The only thing I like about the fatbob is the headlight

[@KSMotoCafe]

interesting! yeah if the LRS had forwards, I can see it being less cramped and I 100% agree that FatBob headlight is so nice and unique

[@MetaPhYsics-and-a-Motorcycle]

I echo your comments about the suitability for new riders. And as you certainly agree, this machine is a rocket! I've been riding for years and came off a 2017 Softail Deluxe and I was a bit freaked out by the throttle responsiveness and crazy torque. It's like a Ferrari. And a Ferrari shouldn't be your first car, right. You need experience to affectively manage the power of this sexy beast for sure.

[@TeensierPython]

I’ve owned both. I think the fatbob unique in its styling. And I think I like the bars better on the fatbob. Sold the fatbob for a roadglide, sold the roadglide for the low rider. Normally I don’t care about fuel tank size but I think the fatbob would look better with the larger tank. Edit: probably should have just kept the fatbob and not gone through all the bikes I did.

[@vmotobiker]

I test drove the Fat Bob and Low Rider S. It was a hard decision. The Fat Bob looks like it could be related to a Ducati. I would have both bit they're too similar. Cool video bud.

[@KSMotoCafe]

yeah that is what I like about the Fat Bob - unique look for a HD

[@twistieslayer3592]

They need to make a Fat Bob S. With a 5 gallon tank, Cruise Control and a 117 motor.

[@KSMotoCafe]

yo that would be 🔥 !!

[@palmettolowlife1996]

That’s called a lowrider s

[@KSMotoCafe]

@@palmettolowlife1996 2023 will most likely have Fat Bob 117

[@palmettolowlife1996]

@@KSMotoCafe ya think with all the supply issues? My bad I initially thought this was about the street Bob. There should only be one “Bob”

[@KSMotoCafe]

@@palmettolowlife1996 lol when I was new to the Harley scene, I always thought Bob was a person who was famous in HD lineage

[@whiterabbitt2002]

i own a 2020 low rider s i love it for what it is. i added 10 inch 2 inch pull back murduck handle bar risers, detachable hard viking saddle bags, engine guard,a saddleman seat. but i must admit it is a heavy bike for me to handle when parking it. i choose the 2020 because i like the retro look with the gauges on the gas tank. i plan at some point soon to add vance and hines slip on exhaust muffulers. i also own a 2015 harley supper low 1200t i bought back in 2016 and a 2020 ktm 790adventure s i bought in december 2020 new. trying to sell my 2016 motto guzzi v7 ii with mnay extras i installed on it.just saying

[@mdragon99]

Fat Bob for me! PS: Gotta get you to do a vlog on my Revival. It would be fun to have. It turns out video is one of those things I suck at :) If they ever do come out with another Icon it might make an interesting series for you.

[@KSMotoCafe]

I agree with you Marty! You know me, if you throw a bike at me, I will be more than happy to give it a try!

[@treyfulton3528]

cant wait to the next demo day. Hope the revolution nightster and 117 lowrider s will be availible. I currently have a tuned 2017 48 and its been great but everytime i get on the 114 lowrider s just makes me want to trade it in. I def feel a difference between the 114 streetbob and the 114 LR-s. Hoping the 117 will be a noticeable bump because of that.

[@KSMotoCafe]

I know what you mean! But a lot of my peers who end up buying LRS coming from evo sportsters, they all end up rebuying the evo sporty after a year. its weird but thats the trend lol

[@Papa_patricio]

So are you going to trade in your 883 for a low rider? Or a fat bob

[@KSMotoCafe]

After this experience, I would go for Fat Bob but I can't afford it right now 😅

[@Papa_patricio]

@@KSMotoCafe same here! Leaning towards a fat bob, but its pricey lol….

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

It's a fantastic bike and you could do far worse. It's a shame you didn't get to open her uo some.

[@KSMotoCafe]

I really wished I could have a chance to ride her on my own terms... sigh..

[@freeride6441]

You can not take the faring off the ST

[@KSMotoCafe]

oh man you are right! I just assumed it was similar to the Sport Glide but I guess the turn signals are hardwired to the fairing, so it would take some work to take it off!

[@panuloo8562]

What is your mic setup!!!!!! WOW!

[@KSMotoCafe]

I use the Tascam DR05x with a lapel mic running up my helmet

Fatbob is way more comfortable. Every time I get on a LR I feel like I've fallen in a toilet.

[@KSMotoCafe]

LOL

[@jimanders9971]

If it is supposed to be a power cruiser is fails horribly in comparison to the Rocket3. End of story. Mic drop....

[@KSMotoCafe]

nah this is more of a showboat than a power cruiser. To compete with Rocket3, they need to bring back FXDR but no one in Hd wanted it

[@jimanders9971]

@@KSMotoCafe the fxdr is a joke compared to the Rocket....at least try to be serious.

[@duosable]

@@jimanders9971 And rockets doesn't sell that many. 0-60 and 1/4 isn't the only parameter. Hope you get a rocket.

[@jimanders9971]

@@duosable so you want to forget about the pluses and minuses of the bikes and go with which one sells better? Lol. Typical harley dude when you cant actually debate the pulses and minuses of the rides.

@@jimanders9971 Accept the real world. rolex, and iwatch they all gonna sell. Only close minded people running around Harley videos talk how their preferred bike is better than harley. Lol Typical adv or japanese bike guy. Speed and cost is their only concern.

[@jennifercuellar4574]

Great review. I like the Fatbob a lot more than the LRS. The styling alone is enough for me but I also feel like the Fatbob just performs so much better in the Twisties and in general.

[@KSMotoCafe]

I am 100% with you!

[@TeensierPython]

I have to agree. The fatbob just kills it in corners. Low rider isnt bad though.

[@NotHunterCooper]

The best softail was the FXDR... just kidding, it was terrible. I love the Low Rider S and ST, I just can't justify 20k (MSRP, and we know harley dealerships) for a bike

[@KSMotoCafe]

its $30k up here in Canada! and they still sell out

[@SLIGHT_]

Very nice!! Solid first ride… as always!! Can’t wait to test this out Friday… (as long as they have one on the truck)

[@KSMotoCafe]

They will definitely have em on the truck! Though on my day, a rider dropped it at the end 😑

[@SLIGHT_]

@@KSMotoCafe yeah my Harley guy told me they only have the ST… probably due to the drop… errrr. Let’s hope he’s wrong lol.

[@KSMotoCafe]

@@SLIGHT_ NOOOOooooo I saw it happen too... damn sorry man! Maybe they can take the fairing and the bags off the ST to make it a S.

[@DeterminedVeteran]

Great thumbnail! I love the LRS

[@KSMotoCafe]

thanks brother! I appreciate the feedback 🤟

[@pauly1k]

I considered a fat Bob but went with the fxlrs because of the styling and where the gauge is. I love the kick ass torque and it’s pretty nimble for a cruiser for me. The fxlrs is the better bike for me.

[@KSMotoCafe]

did you get the 2022 or previous version?

[@pauly1k]

2022. The same one you rode. I felt better on it but the fat Bob is good also. The bike is amazing once you give it the beans.

[@KSMotoCafe]

@@pauly1k nice! congrats on the bike man. Yeah I really wish I got the chance to ride this with some freedom like my other reviews but these never stay long enough on the dealership floor for me to test ride em

[@palmettolowlife1996]

Of course it is 😂

[@barnyard9058]

Have you ridden a street bob yet?

[@KSMotoCafe]

Negative. That is the only softail left for me to ride. I did however do a full review of the Standard and standard stage 1 that is similar to the street bob
