Been to Big Sur a few times but not on 2-wheels. One day ... I'll do it. You are an inspiration. How's your RT doing? May be you can do a 2 year owner's review. That'll be helpful.
Jed you should try being a “hippie” for a while. You might like it.
Expand on this please! It’s been a minute since I posted that video.
Is it still working good after 11 months? ty
Indeed it is!
You are shot. I’m 65 and am looking to buy.
Awesome!👏
About as old school a new bike as you can get- I love it for that reason.
But it handles way better rhan old school! 👍🏼
It's got all the bells and whistles, but it's as ugly as a hat full of arseholes.
How do you like it with the twin cam on the stock tranny ?
I have enjoyed it! The stock trnny is pretty bulletproof, and I don't take this bike very far. Between the small tank and the Mikuni 45, I can't go far! If I were going to tour on it, I might miss a 6 speed.
I suggest my American brothers and sisters to check out ADM in Quebec Canada. I could not believe that they were actually cheaper than CB
Thanks for the tip!
Thanx4post
to haul a TimeOut Deluxe and mount a premium side car; go with the 6 cyl. for perfect combo backroad redwood forest paradise touring (my daily commute) i’ll stay with our rt
thanx4post. the 2008 r1200rt , purchased 2023 w/30,000, is my ‘first’ (road ‘trail’ & 175s ‘dirt’ bikes in 1960s) motorcycle. primary drawback for me are the Stock Mirrors. Michelin road 6 are a dream. it does rebalance/reupright it self hypereasy.
rt is a person magnet; as are all bikes, ESPECIALLY BMW😊
This was fun
Sounds Awesome!!
Thanks!
I test rode one and was shocked at how good it is.
Exactly!
Fellow Jed here, with the same bike, no less! I can mirror your sentiments about the Sportster S. Fantastic bike. Aside from the wheelie bar back end, and the uncomfortable forward controls, I love it. The color on this thing is pretty interesting. Looks dark in the sun, but put it under some florescent lights, and it appears nearly orange! I installed the mid controls, and a tail tidy. The mids help my lower back quite a bit. Also, setting up the shocks to your rider weight goes a long way. (according to manual) Such a difference between road mode, and sport mode!
I can imagine those mids feel great.
Supertrapp is a dope ass pipe and this is a sick bike! I put supertrapp on my 98 1200S I had. Super good performance. I just sold that, bike and hoping to find a good deal on an FXR this fall.
Thanks man. I gotta admit, though, I just swapped the Supertrapp for a Thrashin (made by Fueling) and I actaull like it better. The Spertrapp was my sentimental favorite, but the Thrashin pipe looks and sounds better to me, and I suspect may perform better.
This Bike has been a Hot-Mess since 2021 with Gremlins, and motor Electrical/trans issues..Has H-D fixed them ?? Everyone I speak to about this Bike says, it's nothing but a Hassle and trips to the Dealer for warranty Work. And Yes, I test rode one, and it's amazing in Sport Mode, but if the thing keeps on breaking down, and spitting out Engine Codes that have to be fixed, then H-D better get it's Shit together, cause the word is out, that these things are not reliable. And you really needed to talk more about what mode you were in, and educate yourself on the Bike before blathering your ignorance about it.
🤘
Beautiful bike
Another TURD
What a work of art, JED. Love your bike sir
Hey, thanks Sean!
Everyone has something to say Harley has to move on from the old sportster if you don’t like it don’t buy one it’s a free country I bought a 2024 one love it fun to ride
Yep. I got a 21 the first year they came out and haven’t looked back. So much fun.
Coming from HD , I think RT is for me even do I am 5’7 -185 lbs
Wrong kid, far boy is Numero 1
Okay, tell us why?
Fat boy is an iconic classic. That thing is a dyna or better yet fxr wannabee. Also, the fat boy has wayyyy better looks and presence and you can easily turn it into a tourer . Add a detachable. Windshield and real leather bags not that asymmetrical bs lol. I'll add, that fixed fairings are also very ugly. Fat boy is the real deal in the softail lineup
It has everything I don’t want. It’s a ‘clutter cluster.’ What a mess…. If I want a sport bike, I’ll buy a sport bike. ‘But it’s fast’ …..don’t want fast. ‘It’s got more horsepower’….don’t need it. Seems all you did was complain about the ride as you went along. Old people aren’t interested and young people can’t afford it.
But it’s fast! 😝 Just kidding. Your points are all valid. Still, though, it’s impressive Harley can just decide to build something like this and then do it. Now if they would just release the Bronx bike they teased several years ago ….
Nicely done. SUBSCRIBED! You have heated seats so I'm assuming you have the Premium Pkg. Doesn't the Premium Pkg include the Adaptive Cruise Ctrl (ACC) ?
Hey thanks. Pandemic supply chain issues caused short supplies of chips needed for ACC and radios so the Premium package was dropped for a period and turned into a package the name of which escapes me now that had everything but those two items. A “Radio prep” option was added for a time that included the speakers but no radio unit.
Ha I notice I a little late to the table ….😂 and I was just going to say that I thought the sound was perfect 👍 I’m from Wiltshire in the UK & iv been on Harleys for 20+ years then 5 years ago a friend turned up to stay over, he was on a K16 and I got to thinking maybe it’s time for a change 😮 I test rode the K16 against the RT 1200 and I totally agree with you on the weight of the K16 and really not much difference in usable power it just made the RT feel a breeze to ride so I sold the Harley and bought the RT loved it two years later traded it for a 2018 GSA Amazing bike 👍 then after a road trip with my son up to Scotland to do the NC500 came bake didn’t ride much for a bit so sold it 🤦♂️ a month later I really felt I needed some sort of bike so I bought a Royal Enfield Himalayan 😂 love this bike not fast but handles really iv done 12k on the bike in 2 years and I did 4K in 4 years with both BMWs 🤷♂️ but I think it’s the fellowship of the Royal Enfield club I’m in that’s made the biggest difference in all my riding but the guys I ride with are pretty much retired and have other bikes to with some BMWs amongst them so 6 months ago I bought a 2010 GS and you are spot on what you say about it doesn’t matter which one you ride cos I just come back for a 10 day road trip to Spain across the Pyrenees amazing trip but what an Amazing bike that GS is as I said it’s a 2010 GS with 33k on the clock lovely condition it cos me 5K 😲 it never missed a beat 👍 Any sorry to go on a bit 😂 ride safe fella 🏍💨 M
Your passion for riding shines through that reply as clear as a bell! Thanks so much for sharing it!
I'd get a used one still on warrenty and extend it. Once the tail hugger and stock pipe is gone, it'd be great.
I just bought a 2016 heritage with only 9k miles on it. I like the look and feel of the old design before they changed in 2018. Plus a new heritage was 25k now !! I bought mine with 9k miles for 11,500
Congrats! Sounds like a great bike at a great price!
Boy she's a beauty. You got another new pipe set?
Wow this works wonder, new rider here I really needed this 😂 thanks!
Glad to hear it. Ride safe out there, and have fun!
R18- fugly. LRS- badass. What a cruiser should look like. Love my black '23 with CR483 cam and TBR turnout. Gets the dogs barkin'.
GREAT cam for the M8 by the numbers. How’s the sound?
@@TheJedRides Wonderful. Similar lope at idle to the s&s 475. Definitely gets with the program.
Just brought mine a week ago, June 24, same issue's.
Not surprised. In contrast, I am now using my Sena communicator as a bluetooth mic paired to my GoPro Hero 12. The GoPro has voice commands that all work perfectly, through the Sena mic!
Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll stick with my Hayabusa.
Nothing wrong with that.
Bro could have really made all that power with stock evo just by adding few parts to it😢
Maybe, but at my ripe old age I have found that when I find a craftsman or a mechanic I really trust and I let them build what they want to build, I come out ahead. Eric had built a number of twin cams they way he built mine, including on his own Dyna that he had ridden across the country and back. He said it would be bulletproof and he recommended it over building an Evo. As I mentioned in the video, the bike still has its stock primary and tranny, and the frame wasn't modified, so the bike can go back to being an Evo if I or someone else wants to do it. I had him fix the cases and rebuild the stock Evo engine from the bike that I have sitting on a stand in my office, too. I feel really good about the way we did it.
why is a Mustang better than a Raptor??
You tell me?
I especially love the helicopter tail boom tail light and license plate bracket that looks like it was just stuck on there as an afterthought, due to poor design.👍
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
never seen a bmw huh ? 😂
@@tedcity5861 BMW was not the subject of the video, and I don't get side tracked as easily as most of you do.
@@rarebreed9208 so what. You said it was a poor design and I gave an eg why you're wrong.
Do own 1. Joy to ride. 176cm tall. Find it comfortable. Alot of power on tap.
Agree -- tons of power.
Just turned 22 last month, looking forward to picking this up next year as I move to Ithaca or NYC for my master's in financial engineering. Awesome review sir, enjoyed watching this thoroughly.
Cool! And glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏼
Just sold my GS 1200 rallye yesterday , thinking of picking a used R9t scrambler as an everyday bike and living in a smaller mountainous area . I hear the suspension is quite mediocre on this . How did you find it especially coming from a 1250 GS ? Appreciate your feedback back . I realise this was 2 years ago though .
The suspension on the R9T is of course nowhere near as sophisticated. For “be-bopping” around it is perfectly adequate, but you’ll notice it in aggressive cornering for sure. That said, it’s a fun and comfortable bike.
@@TheJedRides thanks for your reply
Right Shoulder? I so confused
Yeah, sorry bout that! 😂
Idk why but it looks weird, i guess its because all the old people at harley tried to make something look modern but it looks like what people thought futuristic was during y2k. The indian scout 60 looks a bit better and is a bit cheaper
Somebody in the comments said it looks like a hot wheel. I dig it, but it’s probably not for everyone. Since posting this a few friends have said they’ve ridden them with mid-controls and enjoyed them. I think I would like that.
i would remove those stupid engine covers on the right side.
I got to test ride a couple recently, the forward controls are awful, making me feel cramped into a letter 'C'. BUT the MID controls are SO much better, way more comfortable! Its like a different bike!
The letter C is a good descriptor for the stock riding position. Yes, I bet mids are much better. I could use some T bars as well!
It might be a good motorcycle, but it's not a good Harley Davidson
I suspect you're not alone in that assessment. I think it's a cool bike with an awesome motor, but it's a departure for Harley.
What is a good Harley ? Old Harleys only ?
@@HONDAREBEL1100it’s fair to say a good Harley is in the eye of the beholder. I suspect there’s no objective standard!
@@HONDAREBEL1100 anything that has soul. The sportster S is completely soulless.
@@eveythingthatsadamI’m only 22 but hoping off a 2014 dynamax the sportster was surprisingly peppy and comfortable, the fat front tires make it feel super stable too, really surprised me
Looks like it was designed by Hotwheels. 😆
I totally see that!
Im 57. Im fine on it
Good to hear! I gotta get in better shape! 😂
This is uglier than the copies made in China. The posture on it is not a Harley posture, more like a dumb naked bike. The people don't talk about this crap, because it's a crap.
That Sporty 1200 A-rod’s on is really nice.
Agree. Sounded awesome too.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks again, ARod! 👍🏼
