Harley Davidson Blackline Exclusive Test Drive

[@timmccormick5379]

I've got a 2012 Blackline. Its my first Harley after 2 decades of various metrics including a Triumph 900 Adventurer. My Blackline is the first bike I've ever had that i would not even consider selling unless i was going to stop riding altogether.

[@DrifterTR]

Absolutely! I'm head over heels in love with my Blackline! Although its not a 96B mine is a 103B

[@tricky2fly]

I have a 2013 Blackline that i traded my 09 nightster in when i got back from my final trip to Afghanistan, I love it, its my forever bike, i might get others but im not selling it.

[@Fr33domseeds]

Just bought my 2012 a week ago.. don’t see me selling it ever

[@smn07]

I bought this bike and I love it. Srk is a first class group of guys and I would highly recommend buying a bike from them if you're looking for a good buy.

[@LoudValves]

you lucky dog ...

[@rebelscout423]

I'm stuck between a Fatboy Lo and a Blackline next. I'm coming from a Sportster.

[@Waveluth]

I’ve been without a motorcycle for 15 yrs. yeah I’m a sad sack🤓 But I gotta respond to the “ all bikes breakdown comment” Your right they do eventually if you don’t take care of them. Before I had to sell my bikes when my kids needed clothes and books etc..... I did have a bike that never broke down once. I put 45,000 miles on it trouble free. Guess what kind of bike it was ??? A 1966 Triumph Bonneville all stock 750. I kicked it once and only once and it fired up every time. Gosh I miss that bike. ( I wonder where she is hmmmmm) But I also had a 1956 K model Sportster.....ugh it was a temperamental pain in my behind. I still loved it when it would start and run. 1999 Road King was my last bike and it was always making my rides not fun!!! Sometimes you can care for a bike and treat it like a baby and they still break down. But not so of that little Triumph. Darn it I need a bike again for my sanity!! I’m saving my change and someday I’ll have enough in my bike fund to get back on the road. For now I live my riding life through you and your test rides. Thank you for that. You are blessed Sean, be safe okay. ✌🏻🙏🇺🇸👍🏻

[@ozzybreh8575]

I have a 2013 Blackline, it’s my first bike and I love it, it’s got the hard candy colomo gold can’t wait to get her back from the shop 🔥🔥🔥

[@lskow4]

When I’m ready to ride best believe I’ll be putting you guys to work finding one of these for me!!!

[@tricky2fly]

I love my Blackline had it since 2013, love it.

[@LeMancave]

I bought a blackline last weekend. MAAAANNNNNN!!!

[@obeythehustle]

I literally love this bike stage 2 upgrade... Working on that stage 3

[@draganm7823]

Color options are black, black satin,gold,orange,red, blue... all look great.

[@Wilderness-qq8ek]

I have a 2013 in Colma Gold Hard candy.... Factor color option... I believe the also came in Black and a Blue two tone... Anyway love it great bike...

[@boarder989]

The Blackline's are so nice!

[@TheBustedNut]

Iv had my 2011 fxs blackline since 2011. Same as the one your riding. Matter of fact i still have n ride it almost every day with not one problem in 11 yrs. I love my blackline!! That color is called Sedona orange and they only put that color on the 2011 models, they also had a pearl blue and an all black for that year. And to clear up another thing the 2011 came with 96ci TwinCam and the 2012 and 2013's came with the 103ci TwinCam.

[@timmccormick5379]

and they came in a few more color schemes. but the top half of the tank is the only thing that is different colors. mine is black. ive seen cobalt blue, burnt orange, not sure what else was offered.

[@A_Ride_To]

Not 100% true, there was a two tone version in candy orange with the lower tank + fenders in Beer bottle brown. And then there is of course the all gold hard candy custom from 2013

[@jag2039]

Let one get by me,had no idea they were going to stop making them.Dang it It was beautiful! n it ran strong

[@msweat]

I rode one at a demo day at the local HD dealership. Felt like a Sportster, it was so light. Handled better than the average HD by far. I don't know why they dumped it for the Breakout while pales by comparison.

[@joshdouglas9341]

Awww ya another black line I’ll never get to ride thanks Sean! 😁

[@Pimpdown24]

I’m sitting on a black line in my profile picture best purchase ever

[@davidgreve1081]

Sean, I think you could easily install a powerful horn and put the air tank on the front of the rear license plate bracket to create an airflow and not a blunt license plate that would die of metal fatigue the way it sits now. Finding a spot to install the air pump might be a small challenge, but still could be done.

[@FYERFIGHTER]

That's a nice looking bike right there!!!

[@bikertod]

Hey Shawn always appreciate the words of wisdom at the start of the videos,God bless you.

[@DiegoMazda3]

Are those frisco bars?

[@joshbruce2252]

"All bikes break down", definitely sounds like something a Harley rider would say.

[@mikeydvd1]

Very nice bike. Man I wish I had one. Geeesh. Lol. Living through you guys hahaha.

[@CR250noob95]

Awesome looking bike. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

[@holoholohaolenokaoi2299]

me too, just the rider

[@GaryntaraBurbank]

srkcycles I like those bars are they stock if not what bars are they I want to get some for my 1982 Harley Davidson 1200 sportster 25th anniversary and hell yeah you can take a long cross country ride on one of them I have been from Battle Creek Michigan to the tail of the dragon in Georgia on my 82 1200 sportster my 1972 Harley Davidson 900 sportster chopper 7 foot springer front end and my 1990 Suzuki gsx600f

[@timmccormick5379]

those are the factory bars for a Blackline. Harley offered a pullback aftermarket set for shorter folks, but they are factory bars with hidden cables.

[@garrettmayse1710]

Love my blackline.

[@DarthVader-1701]

It came out in this orange color, Big Blue Pearl, blue pearl(sky blue) then all black.

[@philobeddoe7684]

Has 103Ci and they do come in other colors; I have a 2013 in Vivid Black.

[@TheBustedNut]

The 2011 had the 96ci TC

[@leegranger4842]

In comparison to Yamaha Stryker which is a better ride?

[@FXSTB-i]

How are these for taller guys? 6'3?

[@cbkeith7110]

love this bike!

[@TJF98]

2 years later i think this thing is at the dealer ship down the road with only 2622 miles on it

[@Wooley689]

I do like the Tomato red on this one.

[@R_Kh_]

[@2wheelfamily493]

Subscribed to you because of your words of wisdom. Don’t stop reading them. You don’t know how much it helps to hear you read them.! God comes 1st.!

[@pinotino6349]

Ciao sono italiano,e bella da guidare? La vendono a 13500 euro del 2011 come prezzo secondo te e giusto?

[@68weebee]

You got to have Bluetooth for to have your Third Day playing off of Pandora. ☺

[@trevorchrysler5990]

Where did y'all get the leather gloves

[@usmcvet0313]

Try your local farm & feed store

[@codacreator6162]

Looks like HD took a page from Kawasaki Vulcan Custom

[@knuckles777crew]

#blacklinesmatter

[@HDFXSB645]

"This one we are going to sell, so anyone can get it." Me watching this 4 years later 🤦‍♂️

[@chas106g.6]

Very nice bike!

[@Fr33domseeds]

Just bought mine a week ago

[@Alliwantedwasapepsi]

My Vulcan never broke down.

[@erikm4230]

Riding in that oil slick

[@duvalcruza9048]

Nice I'll take it.

[@marcoreactionary]

Hahaha a caterpillar 🐛 Raaaaaaaaawwwwww! 😂

[@metro7416]

Tank Straps photo #3.....

[@GaryntaraBurbank]

Hell yeah I'll do 100k let me get a good vacation from work

[@billm4262]

First parallel groove you hit with that skinny front tire is going to be a major pucker moment. Can't stand those skinny front tires.

[@draganm7823]

Bill M agreed, not much rubber on the road with those 2.1 inch wide front wheels.

[@camerongamble8866]

I have one and you’re 100% correct....pucker every time lol

[@denverr.i.p.6231]

Looks like every other over priced harley. They are so out of touch on pricing and no new designs in 50 years. Also most of the parts aren't American made. This is just my opinion.

[@jurgenstheron507]

why do you snap your tongue so.much its irritating

[@mikeyj3439]

My 600cc Shadow would smoke that piece of garbage any day of the week. Ahahah

[@jjgruiz4]

Great...another douche who wishes he could afford a Harley.

[@howardwhitaker1556]

Maybe. But it won't smoke my H2 with the mode @ 30% power. Point is, always someone thinking their 600 is the sh*t. News flash...it isn't!

[@draganm7823]

Mikey J hey Mickie, it's nice to dream, don't give up dreaming it's a different approach to reality. Black line is more than three seconds quicker in the quarter mile than your 600. Ride safe.

[@mikeyj3439]

Lmao. You all do realize I was kidding right. Moronic turds

[@philobeddoe7684]

No one cares, it’s a 600 Shadow ffs.

[@denverr.i.p.6231]

If you want the same ride as yer grandpa 😂 love the videos and the lost post it notes Harleys are garbage unless you want a Harley or the Harley "look".performance, reliability, and cost it just does not have compared to every other bike out there. I would take a Harley over a Chinese bike Yea. They are fun to ride but shit guys....they need to get thier shit together.

[@seanbutler2291]

Its just a blacked out softail i dont see anything unique about it, and that is definitely not a muscle bike.

[@Srkcycles]

+Sean Butler I may have used the term muscle bike a little loosely today. While I was enjoying the ride

[@seanbutler2291]

Srkcycles fair enough hey man i may seem like a hater on a lot of my comments in your videos, please know its no offense, im jus tired of harley putting out the same old same old and repackaging it as something different and asking those premium prices. Love most of your videos. Id love harley if they were competitive and innovative, i grew up neeeeding a harley, then i found out just how badly they were scamming people. MAN I WISH YOUD GET IN A 2009+ VMAX.

[@timmccormick5379]

as far as factory Harley goes, its the lightest bike you can get with the largest engine option available for the year. 650 lbs, 103" its pretty fast, especially for a harley. and it is unique as hell. lowest 2up ride height of any Harley ever made, the console, the bars, the blacked out paint scheme. the narrower rear tire and fender. granted, its not some super special custom $50k 1 of 100 bike, but it is just different enough to stand out. mine gets tons of looks.

[@TheBustedNut]

@@timmccormick5379 The 2011 like this bike came with the 96ci TC. Just letn you know the 12's n 13's had the 103.
