Harley Davidson FXDR 2020 - Test & Introduction
Hello friends - greetings from Austria/the heart of Europe and welcome to our new video. Today - for the 1rst time - we are able to introduce you to a Harley Davidson, the special edition of the year 2020 called "FXDR". We owe the recordings exclusively to our friend Patrick, who is participating in our projects for the first time with this Harley. Patrick is by far the best professional motorcycle mechanic we know. For him, his job is also his private passion - and - actually completely untypical for today's world - when he is screwing on a motorcycle, he literally puts his soul into every move.
Let's start with the data from today's machine:
The Harley Davidson FXDR has a staggering 1864 cc displacement. The motor has 94 hp and 160 nm. The motor-drive is a completely maintenance-free belt drive that easily lasts well more than 200,000 km.
The screw that we can see here on the right is used to set the desired degree of hardness of the shock absorbers. Patrick is very impressed with the maneuverability of this Harley-Davidson special model. The machine is exceptionally curve-friendly for a chopper, you can really lie in it and, due to the ground clearance, you don't have to worry about scratching the asphalt with footrests and / or exhaust. The workmanship is really beautiful - the position of the air filter and the carbon-clad exhaust system are particularly noticeable. The FXDR naturally has cornering ABS, as well as anti-slip control and an alarm system. This motorcycle here costs € 29,400 at a dealer in Austria (as of August 2020). If it is financially possible for you, then try to live like us in the here and now and make your wishes come true. In recent years, Harley Davidson's company policy has shown very strongly that there are massive efforts to greatly improve the quality of their motorcycles - and that is exactly what we see in this FXDR. Away from the image of the Harley Davidson owners who spent their weekends in garages with beer bottles and tool cases and towards great workmanship and long trips, without the constant fear that some screws will loosen by themselves. So if you wanna fulfill your dream of a Harley Davidson, then Patrick and we can really recommend this FXDR. There are of course “cooler” and better looking Harleys - regarding the optics, but of course they are not that comfortable to drive. But with the FXDR you have a timeless beauty that impresses with its high quality workmanship and cornering behavior, as well as an investment, as the price of this machine is certain to rise. You don't have to emigrate to America to drive straight through the desert for days, but can also conquer all winding dream routes here in the Alps with this chopper model.
In contrast to Erich, I'm not a chopper, but an Enduro fan, but I really like this Harley FXDR, including its completely surprisingly great seating position. I also immediately felt how well this motorcycle is balanced - you don't even notice the 300 kg of it s weight.
Thank you for your interest, please subscribe to our channel so that you don't miss the next videos. I wish you a fantastic day, that you meet as few idiots as possible, don't let them get you down and see you next time!
PS: As You notice English is NOT my mother-tongue ;))) - but I try my very best ...

    I had a 1992 TDM 850. It was a practical motorcycle. I added an aftermarket centre stand; seat and saddlebags. I rode it from Toronto to Newfoundland. The only major problem I had was as it got old the carbs would leak gas so much it would foul the spark plugs. It always ran rich. I took the carbs apart numerous times, trying to find the problem. I never did. I believe having the carbs at near vertical did not allow them to function well. This was a motorcycle that would have been much better with fuel injection. The steering head angle was steep, which allowed for quick steering, but the motorcycle would weave at top speed, around 220km/h. My 2009 Kawasaki Concours 14 got much better fuel milage and had nice tan coloured spark plugs. It also was stable at top speed, around 260km/h. The TDM had a more upright, comfortable seating position and was much more responsive to steering. I fondly remember the TDM but the carb issues were a nightmare. One thing I liked about the TDM was how well it performed at high rpm. Those near vertical carbs allowed for very straight intake ports and the TDM did not run out of breath like most other twins. Rick Andrews, at Ontario Honda, recognized the potential and took at TDM engine and built a road racing frame around one based on TZ250 specs. It was ridden by Klassen and won a battle of the twins road race series. By the time Yamaha had replaced the carbs with fuel injection, they were no longer being imported to Canada, so buying one was no longer an option. The 1200 version is too heavy to interest me. For a twin, it was a fast, quick motorcycle. I wish companies would design a top of the line middleweight motorcycle around 850cc with a shaft drive, centre stand, top line brakes and suspension weighing under 500 lbs. 1400cc, 700 lb motorcycles are too heavy. A TDM 850 with shaft drive.

      @@oliviercapdevielle291 Nothing except a Harley will feel or sound like a Harley. Harley Davidson’s v-twin is built differently than other v-twins. Harley Davidson’s pistons are at a 45-degree angle with a single crankpin journal which throws the balance of the engine off whenever the pistons fire. That’s where that signature Harley sound and vibration comes from. With that said, everyone I know who has owned a Harley has had nothing but issues with them. I love Harleys but I wouldn’t buy one as my daily rider. I currently have a Suzuki intruder 1400 (like the one in this video) and a Suzuki boulevard 805 and I’ve never had any issues with them. Not to mention my intruder is faster than most stock harleys and a fraction of the cost. That’s not to say you won’t run into some junk metric bike as well, but in my personal opinion, metric bikes are the way to go if you wanna hop on something and go. But If you really want that Harley sound and feel, you’re only gonna get that from a Harley. Hope that helps.

      Hello, Smolex. Thank you for your comment. I don't know which country you are living in, but here in Austria my friends and I don't tinker with our motorcycles very much, we often put our bike to a workshop - even for minor repairs. It's true that the carburetor is a bit more difficult to adjust on the Intruder - I know that after my own experience, but now I luckily found a mechanic who is able to solve the problem.

    So nice to see. My first 2 wheel love was a 1992 Seca 2, I never got it but my 2nd love quickly became the 1993 TDM 850. One day I was on my way to buy one when I went out to my cat (at an apartment) and my door was crushed in by a hit and run. I realized that my new motorcycle was going to have that eventually and never went to buy it. I so wish I had a TDM 850.
