    Not my kind of bike but as you said a very "cafè rider", but modern, style. If that's what HD were after, I think their design team did a good job. Thanks for the review!

    Always thought of HDs as Flintstones motorcycles.
    Single front brake disc on a bike of this power and torque and weight is insane.
    Like the TFT single clock.
    Not a fan of keyless. Seems to be a poor solution to a problem that never existed.

    Always interesting to try something different. I'm more a cruisin' person than sporty person and to be honest, I can't be trusted with fast vehicles but this doesn't seem as fun as the other one you tried.

    Nice bike but those pipes are butt ugly. I am sure all the aftermarket folks have alternatives available or will very shortly. It doesn't really sound like a HD.

    I've also ridden the Sportster S and the Speedmaster that you have and the Sportster S isn't a patch on the Speedmaster. I thought the engine sound was poor and sounds very mechanical. Maybe you notice this more because the exhaust is not that loud. Compared to a Speedmaster, which as you know sounds awesome, I found the Sportster S disappointing and I own 2 Harley Davidsons. It's a shame, as I waited 3 years for this bike to come to fruition. Also, its not really a cruiser as many describe it. You wouldn't want to ride more than an hour before stopping with a seat that thin, so really its only use is for short rides between cafe stops. I bet you found it heavier to manoeuvre and pull off the side stand than your Speedmaster despite it being lighter? Triumph did such a good job with the Speedmaster. Also as you found, just too much unnecessary tech. I will say the Sportster S looks cool in Black and probably is its best colour seeing as everything on the bike is black, that is if looking cool is your thing…
    Nice review as always 👍

    I was interested in one of these until I actually saw it in the flesh, but when I saw it, it is sooooo small!
    I actually bought a Fatbob when they first came out a few years ago. You are going to like that I think.

    Thanks for the review as I've been interested in this bike (merely as an interesting bike for Harley). This bike is far from my ideal but I always appreciate reviews of new models. In 2009 I owned a Kawasaki ZX14 which was 170hp. the bike was a docile friend around town but out on the road it scared the living daylights out of me which brought about a quick trade in for a much more civilized sport tourer. Though I never regretted owning the ZX, I never missed it! :>) Once again enjoyed the video, keep it up.

    So is this your style bike? I don't think you mentioned it!
