The FASTEST Harley Sportster Ever Made!! - Sportster S

The FASTEST Harley Sportster Ever Made!! - Sportster S I finally get a chance to test ride the Harley Sportster S. I will give my thoughts and impressions on the bike and give my experience on riding the new revolution max engine for the first time.
Huge thanks to Brandywine Harley Davidson for letting us come out and ride this bike!

Got 8000 miles on mine. Couple points, suspension sucks if you don’t adjust, then it is fine. Also I adjusted shift linkage and shifts excellent. Shifting is drastically improved at 4K RPMs and gets better up from there. Difference between road and sport modes is mostly sensitivity of throttle by wire, how much do you want to twist the throttle. That sensitivity reflects in engine breaking as well. Therefore I pretty much live in sports mode, use road for light rain and rain for deluge or blinding rain. Seat upgrade is a must in my opinion. One other consideration is front tire has a life span of 5k or less if you like to hit curves. But it is an extremely fun 5k miles. Guess you pay to play.

I got one and instantly fell in love with it.

I have a 2020 HD-FXDR and straight or twisties don't bother me and I am 75 yrs old. Some people expect the bike to drive itself, nope love my bike 😎🇵🇭🇺🇸

[@KennyQuestShow]

Awesome, thanks for this test ride. Looks like it’s all there, turn key and ready to perform at high levels. Though I prefer the erector set approach with the EVO sportster platform this will give the potential Ducati diavel and naked sport bike buyer something else to consider.

I test road one. Thing is FAF boi!

[@toofastnobrakes]

My first mods ide do. Exhaust, suspension lift, and rear sets the second they would be available

[@kylecorcoran8028]

Rode this at demo days a couple weeks ago… it’s WILD

[@vaporcaper9601]

All I had to see was those two big exhaust cans to know what bike it was 😂😂😂😂 I bought one yesterday definitely impressed!

[@elainastrange2963]

There are two controls to adjust the suspension according to your weight. Adjust it properly and you don’t feel those bumps, you glide over them

[@RoadsOfOz]

Looks like a very impressive bike. I do prefer the look of the Nightster though.

[@kyriakoskarallis5268]

Pick mine up today got a tail tidy and a TBR exhaust from Harley

[@Johnclark300]

How fast does it go ??? What is the top speed?? Will it 150 MPH like the V-rod??

[@Matthewlewis24]

Thanks for the comparison to the FXDR, I literally have this bike and thinking about trading it in for the Sportster S. And that is my main gripe about the FXDR, twisty riding is not its friend.

[@vntgmx]

Moto Jawn likes that engine eh :) Not my cup of tea but it's the wave of future for many different reasons especially getting engines thru the bureaucracy we are facing :(

I rode one on Monday and yes it has great power but I really didn't care for the riding position. The new nightster is a better bike IMO. I had a lot of fun on the nightster. I still need to ride the rebel 1100 and the scout rogue before i make a decision on another bike to add

[@docsspeakeasy4796]

I just got to ride a nightster at the demo days event, pretty sure that’ll be my next bike. I’m used to a 97 softail custom which I love but it’s not meant for speed or power and that’s kind of what the nightster was good at, I also rode a heritage classic and as much as I’d love one of those it’s so expensive. It made me decide that I’d rather have a Harley for another bike and not a honda cb650r

[@robbyc8926]

Those gloves 🥵🔥

[@spaceflight1019]

Specs wise, the S is equal to the original Yamaha V-Max from 1985.

[@Dutch650]

Will this be the upgrade from what you got now? or are you going to follow the others and go Glide? ;) always amuses me when harley riders bring up the turn signal usage as every or most other brands have that way of using turn signals :)

[@RulgertGhostalker]

i have ridden few bikes faster ( and i am a motorcycle mechanic )
