If someone came to me a year ago and asked should I buy a Harley ? I’d say sure whatever floats your boat. As long as you like it. Now after buying a 17 year old Harley and putting 15,000 dollars into it (including the purchase price) I would say stay away from old Harleys unless you really really love the look and don’t care about your budget (which surprisingly what some people are about) And I would say buy a new Harley or one just a few years old in immaculate shape. Because wow did I buy a POS. I didn’t buy it for performance I bought it for enjoying short touring in the countryside and mountains. And this bike is a massive expensive disappointment. Except the handling . That was better than expected. For the money it cost I could have got a brand new Japanese bike with way way better build quality. If money comes my way I’ll trade this POS in on a new Harley

This...video done. Also a slight bone to pick with choosing the Kawi for the comparison to the 883. A Scout 60 is the same price, made in the USA, water cooled and has 20 more HP and 10 more TQ....and the TQ is even at a lower RPM. Then, let's talk about the "you can make that 883 over 130hp." Yeah...for $5,269.64 according to Hammer Performance....and that doesn't include pipes ($600) and an air cleaner ($350). So yeah, $6,100. So, for only $15k you can void the factory warranty on your bike orrrr you could buy an M109R for the same price that will do it bone stock...or a GSX-R1000/Hayabusa/R1250RS/Speed Triple/Monster 1200 that will waste them both.

I judge riders on if they're wraring a helmet or not. Around here, seeing a helmet on a cruiser rider is very rare, and when you do see them, there is a 95% they're riding metric. HD riders who wear helmets are practically unicorns. If you're wearing a helmet, great, you care more about riding than outlaw cosplay. That matters way more than the displacement of your ride.

[@kjmdrumz3]

@@Evolution_KillsThank you! This is 100% true where I live, too. Most HD guys are way too “cool” to wear a helmet. Fuck that. I’ve owned and ridden every different type of motorcycle from most major manufacturers. And I wear an Arai full-face every single time. I prefer to be alive than pretend to be a badass.

[@dcccharles4569]

It is now more widespread wherein riders with helmets are accepted as real bikers and those who don't wear helmets as being FOOLS. Nothing cool or admirable about it just idiocy. Incidentally, it actually is cool wearing some helmets and that's just a fact. Sorry to burst some bubbles out there but it's the truth...accept it. Once going helmet-less was viewed as cool and hip, however, it is No longer "cool" but stupid to be riding without head protection. Dumb, dumber, and stupid. The forehead should be tattooed of such ill fated riders with take your pick of derogatory adjectives...Fool, Silly, Dumb, Dumber, etc., to remind ER staff at the hospital this distressed individual acknowledged their brainless choice prior to head injury.

My advice to any new rider that may be watching this video is ride what you like and don’t give a shit about what anyone else says or thinks just have fun.

[@highspeeddrag5551]

Plus I like your channel. I currently ride a 2019 Road Glide Ultra, I'm 65. Been riding most of my life. Had them all except Suzuki, just never liked them. Another story. Harley's are special. If you want to wrench on a bike, Harley's are fun to adjust. Try putting ape handle bars on any other motorcycle. I had a great Honda sewing machine, a 98Honda Valk that would never break but when you went down the road you were invisible to passerby's. I hate being invisible. People love to compare how Hd's are not good at being a track, dirt, race around being a squid bike, but HD's are known for being a good big bike. At some point doing 180mph and 0 to 60 in 3 sec goes away if you live through that phase of riding. Buy what you can afford and understand buying a HD is not for everyone. Neither are cowboy boots. Now on my bike, which I work on myself, LA 47's 16"apes, WoodsX22 cams, S&S oil pump and cam plate, with adjustable lifters and Woods cam bearing, D&D 2 into one pipes, with heated grips, and a sweet tinted Klock windshield and of course updated rear LED taillights with strobes. My last bike was a Kawasaki ZX14R. Great bike but when a metric missle gets a few years on them they start to worry me, very difficult to work on yourself. But I did do pipes& bars. Try changing plugs on that bike.. which I did but it reqiured some imagination to do. Bike are fun and if you aren't wrenching on them you are missing the bigger experience. enjoy.

[@highspeeddrag5551]

Oh with no acccidents or tickets in 40 years of riding, insurance costs on the 2019 $30K FLHRU is $290 full coverage a yr with no deductible On the 2013 $15000 ZX14R it was $2500 a yr. with $1000 deductible Big difference.

Theres also a few other things he didnt mention; Harleys have such a huge aftermarket that you can take 2 sportsters and make them radically different in looks and power

[@mr.b3168]

Yeah, a lot of sport bike riders aren't into the custom scene. My love for harleys stemmed from the custom classic car scene where you could keep on adding things like a puzzle till it becomes unique(Hot rods, Lowriders, Bellflowers, Rat rods, etc. Harleys are the same things. You got Performance baggers/Dynas, You got the "scrambler" sportsters, You got the big front wheeled baggers with long bags, you got the cholo style softails, etc etc. There's so many sub genres of harleys. The most unique custom sport bikes I see are the stunted out ones. Besides that what is there? Elongated swingarm and some LED strips?

[@Jezzyftw]

@@mr.b3168 Yeah, basically and unique paint jobs I guess lol. It's very obvious that they're built for speed and curvy roads. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just a bit boring for myself.

Moped, trike, Can-Am, or even a Harley. But if you ride a bike as an excuse to bar-hop while you preen in your overpriced outlaw cosplay gear in search of social validation? I have no time for that nonsense. If that makes me a 'gatekeeper', so be it.

[@IRLtrolls]

"When you buy a Harley it's about leaving your ego at the door" Stopped watching there. I grew up around Harleys. I've done thousands of miles on my father's Harleys and been around Harley bros my entire life as well as my sportbike friends. There is no other segment of motorcycle riders with bigger egos than HD riders. The only reason to get a Harley is the ego of having an American V twin. The tradition and prestige IS the selling point of an HD. They are over priced, slow and unreliable. HD's are cool to people that do not know anything about bikes and romanticize the bad boy biker aesthetic and that's all modern HD riders have become. Cosplay for adults men. I've been daily driving motorcycles for 8 years. Year round, all weather. And I've never had a good interaction with a random Harley guy. Especially the middle age, fair weather weekend warriors. Also, your comparison of the 883 and Vulcan S made my skin crawl. I thought you were going to talk about horsepower, weight and real world performance after you brought up the torque figures and you didn't. Just threw out some numbers that fit your narrative and kept going. SRKCycles races a Vulcan S against a CVO Road King and stomped it. A perfect example of why new riders should learn about engine configuration and what it means to have a V or Parallel Twin. Every one of your comparisons used numbers to support your narrative. You should compare price and horsepower in those weight figures. In the end, none of this matters because HD will go bankrupt in the next 10 years. Their fan base is dying off and millenials are more interested in bang-for-the-buck than tradition. And the truth is, there are no numbers that support buying an HD. You literally buy an HD for the ego, tradition and prestige.

but you shouldn't be buying a bike just for other peoples approval. you should buy a bike for the quality of the ride. and in that sense the first gen VMAX weighs way less then a fat bob and has 145 HP the fat bob only puts out a measly 78 HP personally I'd pick the better riding bike over the better looking one, cause it's not like you're gonna be the one looking at it.
