Honestly…. The 883 is the coolest looking bike imo. I just wish it had a bigger engine and a 6 speed transmission

It was a tough choice between the 883, 48 and a few other bikes i was looking at for my first actual bike. I ended up walking into a Harley dealership and fell in love with a 17' 48.

Harleys biggest mistakes was not keeping the sporters and then releasing different bikes instesd that lets asmit most people dont want. They shouldntngave stopped making the 48. If europe doesmt want them because they claim theyre not enviormentally friendly i say we tell them maybe if they dont change their mind we cancel nato and let them have fun against russia alone. Bring back the gunship grey sportsters

I visited Tobacco Road Harley a couple of years ago when we were visiting my wife family. Super chilled crowd and clearly fantastic bikes. Both these bikes look amazing and sound even better with a set of Vance and Hines pipes. Think I've spent too long wanting a HD and not doing enough about it......gotta change that this year.

The Sportster Forty-Eight takes a minimalist approach and the fuel tank is no exception there. If you're looking for a Harley-Davidson with a larger fuel capacity, but is just as nimble, there are still plenty of options for you. I'd recommend checking out the Nightster with the Rev Max and a 3.1 gallon tank or any bike from the new Softail line-up with fuel tanks ranging from the 3.5 gallon Softail Standard to the 5 gallon Low Rider S. Of course, the best option is always to stop by and let us help you find the perfect bike for your riding.

@TobaccoRoadHD Жыл бұрын
Its actually better than you might think! You no longer have to worry about where you put your key, did you leave it in the bike, did you leave the bike on, etc. The key fob lets you zip it up in your riding jacket leaving it secured on you. Losing a hard key means getting stuck while the bike running on a key fob will let you input your PIN number using the turn signals to start it. If the bike starts to detect a low battery in the fob, it will display Low Fob Battery on the screen with plenty of extra time so you can get that battery replaced soon.

Unfortunately, the 48 only came in the 1200cc configuration. You should come check out the new 975cc Nightster and 1200cc Sportster S. Their ride modes let you control how much power you're working with.

For the Riding Academy courses, the Street 500's have 3 different seat options. The low seat on the Street 500's are usually able to work for most riders. The 350's have a higher seat height but slimmer profile. It might help to check some articles from shorter female riders and see tricks they use. Wishing you the best this weekend!
