THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXR. THE WORLD'S BEST HARLEY. IS SR SELLING HIS? PROBABLY NOT.

[@charlesprice7608]

I rode that exact bike home, same color even, brand new from the dealership. I was 20, it was the first new vehicle I ever purchased. I even remember how proud my father was when I pulled into the driveway with it! He wasn’t a motorcycle guy but I talked him into an Honda XR75 when I was 8, and motorcycles have been a part of my life every since.

[@goochma]

Beautiful looking bike. It sounds amazing. Pure American thunder. I'd take the FXR over any bike Harley is selling today. Your sacrifice for the cause says a lot about your character. I visited the museum in 2018 and was not only blown away by the motorcycles but the craftsmanship of the building's restoration as well. Second to none.

[@KaplanCycles]

Thank you i appreciate that!

I live in Bristol CT, and have been riding my whole life practically that’s a beast ! Reminds me of the old days ! After a cancer battle which I won , my expenses are depleted ! But you will sell that beauty quick Brother

[@scudonepercenter]

FXR! I love them! Would love to ride one some day.

[@kevindematteis2243]

Great presentation on this beautiful bike Ken. Hope to make a trip up to see you soon.

[@robertreasor7522]

I like the FXR much better than the Dyna. I've had both and the FXR is far superior in my opinion. I was told by a HD rep the Dyna platform is cheaper to make that's the only reason HD switched.

My ex girlfriend used to call my harley lowrider her giant vibrator thanks harley for all the warm ups her eagle was always screaming when I cracked that throttle! God bless H-D

That bike is absolutely beautiful 🤘🏻💯!! Love the FXR!! My girl has a 94 FXLR and it is awesome!! We visited the museum 3 yrs ago and it was freaking awesome 🤘🏻💯!!

I have the exact 1990 FXRS, same paint, same bike but my gauges are on the tank. Ive seen both setups but no explanation why Harley did it.

[@metalted6128]

Awesome bike!!! Please know, building a future for your kids, a legacy, is way more important than the “ he how dies with the most toys wins” mindset. Love your channel!! You guys rock!!! God bless America!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@SeanThourp]

Wow, Capt would have never considered selling 3 years ago. I got my 90' FXLR and couldn't ever see selling so I know it must be a good reason. Good luck bro

“I wanted this backrest so she wouldn’t fly off the back”. Just sounded funny. Sr doing wheelies down the street with Christie hanging on for life off back.

WOW!!! This was certainly meant to be a "forever bike"… Man that's a NICE scoot!!!!!

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

The world's best selling harley is and always has been the sportster. It won't be any longer obviously. Great looking bike. SPORTSTER4LIFE ☘️

[@ajcates9136]

It’s just a little different from a sportster but they are good bikes too

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

@@ajcates9136 not denying that. First day on a Harley was the best day of my life, I'll never forget it. 76' ironhead, oh man. The smell, the vibration, the yearning to be on it ALL THE TIME, even at the behest of my wife and kids whom I rarely see during riding season. Last year I put on 8.9k just on my 20' iron special in 6 months time here in Minnesota. Impatiently waiting for spring

[@ajcates9136]

@@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery my first dirt track bike was a 883 sportster it had a lot of cool parts on it and it is just a great experience all the way around I wish I was in my 20s 😂

[@teocoliteo8330]

Hi.... you hear the powerful , Harley Davidson sound, very beautiful 👍

[@maestherc]

You’re almost making us cry here. We’re not “Harley Davidson People” here, per se, but…. We have to recognize certain benchmark HD classics of the 70s and 80s such as the legendary XR750, the XR1000, and…. Perhaps most of all, the incredible FXR with it’s perhaps unmatched combination of classic HD styling and remarkable handling/stability characteristics. You’re a bigger man than me. Short of a family member needing a kidney transplant or similar-I absolutely cannot image myself letting go of that bike. My advice: sell it to someone you trust to respect and take care of it, who will promise to give you first dibs at buying it back someday if/when they should ever decide to sell it. Because….. believe me, you will truly regret letting that one go. I can hear it in your voice. Good luck 🍀👍🏻 with the Gas Gas dealership-that’s a bold move.

[@SalGueva]

Good morning Ken, can you PLEASE do an in depth review of your Low Rider ST now that you've had it for a while? I would like to get your thoughts on it now that you've had it for a while. I picture you more of a Road Glide guy based on your size.... especially traveling with Christie and all. Do you have any regrets? Was it an impulse buy? Will you move up to a touring model now?

[@KaplanCycles]

Yes I can , will do

[@croaker4163]

I like kaplan's enthusiasm and I've been following him since the beginning but I can honestly say at least with the CR500's single-handedly bought the majority of them Jacked the prices up to unobtainium and made them to where the common guy can't afford them because what you used to be able to get 6K now everybody wants 10K because he has bought and sold all of them so yay I guess but I do love his enthusiasm just sucks for me

[@lFaceless]

I have an 88' FXRP with 30k miles on it. its an Amazing bike, but this bike is next level. Beautful.

[@KaplanCycles]

They are performance machine chicanes

[@jeremyneufeld6541]

Guessing $25k? Maybe 30K? It is beautiful but I like the profile of Dynas better. FXRs are a little stubby to me, like a sporty. Still beautiful bike.

[@KaplanCycles]

Ive owned and built the best dynas ever made. The only thing a dyna does better is look cool.. in the showroom.... Dyna's are a wobbly mess at 100+ mph compared to the fxr. Search Kaplan Dyna on youtube

[@jeremyneufeld6541]

@KAPLAN AMERICA oh I believe you, sir! I was merely speaking of aesthetics. I prefer the look of a dyna. Never had the pleasure of riding an fxr. Love your videos!
