All New 2021 Harley Davidson Sportster S (All the details)

Born out of a shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA in 1903, Harley Davidson have been producing motorcycles ever since.
The first Sportster was created in 1957. And it could be argued hadn’t changed too much since then right up to the previous model available last year.
In this video we take a look at details of the New Sportster S and have a quick look at the New Revolution Max 1250 T engine from Harley Davidson.
This is new bike is a huge step forward from the previous Sportsters and is now more than capable of competing, with other roadsters out there, it is not what I would normally expect from Harley and it is an exciting to see they direction their development is moving in.
So sit back and enjoy and if you like the video, consider subscribing for more videos to come.

This engine/motor is proof the days of hot air cooled engines are over. Harley Davidson sat back and designed a motorcycle & motor that will definitely carry over to every make and model with all the maintenace issues designed out. The revolution max engine in the Sportster puts out 121 horse power & the Pan American motor puts out 150 horse power which is more than my Milwaukee 8 107 street glide special so all HD has to do is slightly bump up torque for the touring models to handle the weight of two up riding and gear in tow. Harley Davidson and the consumers demanded a smoother shifting, cooler running, less vibrating, easy maintenance bike which was done with single oil fill and single oil drain without a huge primary chain to maintain rotating in oil. Less unnecessary parts means less time on a lift, more time on the road with anti knock tech, ride modes with computer upgrades to keep everything in check. Liquid cooling was something v twins have missed out on for decades, also it's good to see HD design out flaws and problematic issues like the pushrods, rocker arms, bottom end cam, and shifting clunk. Harley could not sit back and let competition slap them anymore. Also they had to move past aftermarket companies and old school riders and MC’s that are satisfied with the old stuff while BMW, Honda and Yamaha have full smooth fully counter balanced motorcycles the masses want.

go stuff yourself Ill keep my old aircooled HDS they always start and they dont need any service at the dealers

[@rkow8508]

At 59 yrs old I was really waiting on the Bronx oh well. About time they step the game up. Should have done it years ago . They have to make something the younger riders want.

[@wooddawg4868]

I don’t think the Bronx is coming out, the reason I say this is because both models will be redundant, maybe late tho because this is the 1st model of Sportster, when they come with one with taller bars I am game prior to the revolution max engine going in touring models.

[@hatchetjack1031]

There's not a sporty out there since '57 that has the original exhaust. Mines got race tech. 😃

[@chaiyongpraiwan9210]

masterpiece motorcycle.​ very nice

[@maxwellbricks7632]

Have the 2018 Roadster with the full cafe package & aftermarket 2 into 1 exhaust. You are correct, the exhaust has to go & a style replacement like the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC would look better. I would imagine that losing the stock exhaust would reduce the weight by 30 pounds. Still love Harley

[@wancesdjoh3592]

Wish,,, One day,,, 👍🏼😎

[@randallzook5570]

Thank you for the video. I wouldn't change a thing other than throw the EPA BS out the window and let these bikes run and sound like they should. I personally don't mind the looks of the exhaust and excited to pick my new Sportster S up tomorrow.

[@MotoChatter]

Thank you, glad you liked the video. Congratulations on your new bikes.

[@martinsausm3291]

Excited to see, how the rest of the new sportster family will look like and will be happy to see what will follow on my Iron 883 in Europe. anyway, great job so far HD

[@MugetsuDeath]

I want one

[@ckons89]

is the engine an evolution of the one used in V-ROD?

[@MotoChatter]

Hi Christos, as far as I am aware the V-Rod engine was based on a Harley Davidson VR1000 race engine and developed in conjunction with Porsche. The engine is a 60 degree, four valve per cylinder, liquid cooled V-Twin so, definitely has some similarities with the new Revolution Max engine in that regard. I am not sure that new engine is just an evolution of the V-Rod engine, it certainly isn't anything I heave seen or read from Harley but, you have t be sure that they will have at least had a look at the old blue prints. I have a new video coming out this week focusing on the Revolution Max engine, check it out as it may answer some of your questions. Thanks for the question and for watching, have a great day.

[@8153max]

It’s about time Harley is moving away from the old school hardcore kinda guys… this new bike should attract a whole new generation of new riders …👍

Triumph knew how to do it.

0:48…..no sportster has ever been single cam…..only the big twins……before the…..errrrr…..twin cam…..motor. Sportster engines always had four separate cams…..one for each valve. I’ve had four Harleys btw…..iron head sportster, evo sportster, shovel head and a twin cam……sorry if I’m being pedantic but try to get facts correct please…..

[@MotoChatter]

That is always the intention Andy, however, we are all human and make mistakes, I am sure you have too. The video is focused on the new Sportster not the old one, but sorry if that error upset you. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

[@zl1zl150]

I just don't get Harley. They just refuse to build a nice looking bike

[@wooddawg4868]

Man what you talking about? That sportster is on par with everything that needed to be upgraded and made modern in my opinion. Your opinion may be different but at the end of the day everyone rides a brand of motorcycle they like I get that.

[@dynaordie8083]

Right!?!? Its almost like some comunistic country is sabotaging harley.
