- Harley Davidson XL Series Sportster EVOLUTION. From the beginning of time. 1957 all the way to 2020, we're gonna see this baby become the notorious light weight cruiser we all love.
The XLCH, Nighter, Custom, Iron, Roadster, all of it, is here in this video. - Авто та транспорт
Almost the perfect bike. Approaching 90,000 miles. Needs some love but still reliable.
Just wack 50 kilos off the weight & the Sportster would be the perfect retro bike. My favourites are the XLCR, the XLXR1000, the XLX & the XR1200
**finishes the video with nothing but praise in my head for the Sportster**
**"Why Harley Davidson is ABSOLUTELY BLOWING IT"**
comprehensive, thank you
Best looking bike ever built.
Im about to get a 1972 sportster iron head, it’s going to be a complete rebuild. Im so pumped.
Both of my XLCHs were pre-1971 kick-only sporty machines. Had a ton of fun on both back in the early '70s.
I have two Sportsters, I love them. I don't need the giant baggers.
Such a unique bike! Proud to have one!
The picture of the 1973 Iron Head is exactly the same as the one I bought new from Detroit H-D. Thanks for posting.
Nice video cataloging the changes over the years. Only thing I wished for was a final shot that superimposes the latest model over the first XLCH to see how little the thing has really changed between then and now. Sportster is an amazing motorcycle, even if H-D keeps trying to morph it into something it's not (i.e. a cruiser or poor man's Super Glide).
That's where your wrong kiddo...they morphed it into a Japanese street racer and tacked on an extra 4k....R.I.P xl sportser
Skipped a few years
As always a great and interesting video. Also a nice new style. Keep it on ♥️
HD Sportster = Brilliant Ad
The bike shown as a 1996 XL1200 is a 2003 anniversay edition, but other than that this is a pretty cool video!
haha I was thinking "hey I have a 96 and it does not look like that!"
Amazing content keep making more
I have had my Sportster for 25 years and four hundred thousand miles on her.all original engine.
YEOW !!
@@blusnuby2 Truth!
Great video, interesting to see the changes over the years. Or rather, the lack thereof. Jesus man, I'm a cruiser driver myself. I appreciate the classic look, upright ergonomics, carrying capacity and long range comfort they offer over the sporting variety.
Being said, there are no excuses (aside from appeasing the ever dwindling braindead marketplace) for the archaic and unnecessarily underpowered engines.
@Gastro racing Brother where's the audio in the video from ? Some documentary ?
I own a stone stock "except for paint,seat,and air cleaner which I have the originals" 1973 XLH
Please do something on the Isle of Man TT, And how it has evolved in the past 100 years. I think people would really like that.
The Iron 883 is the sexyist, meanest looking Harley Davidson.
Looks like a Harley should.
So so sad that this range has ended.
Stupid move, like cutting off your arms so you'll be lighter there for I'll move faster! Won't I!?
I love my 08 Xl1200 Sportster Nightster

So innovation stoped after 2005 ?
The 1996 shown is actually the 2003 100 year anniversary
Come on… you forgot the Seventy Two
Rest in peace.
Life's too short ta drive anything else!
Good video, but music soundtrack is about 20 to 30% too loud, and is drowning out the narration a bit.
rubber mount started in 2004 not 2005
The roads of Iowa? Really?
Faster than dyna handles better and never got the respect it deserved 27 grand national championships in racing gets called slow lol
This video isn't completely accurate, at least for the C.C.s of the earlier models.
Wish they hadn't started blacking them out
No mention of the magneto ignition on the early XLCHs? you should be ashamed.
You are lost sportster 1200s, 1998 - 2003
Kenny Roberts never raced a Harley.
didnt he sing with Dolly Parton
@@Rob-lj1jl you're thinking Kenny Rogers 😂
@@Rob-lj1jl lmao 🤣 it was a good'un!!
2023....Dead create completely different bike call it the sportser S
Kicking with a magneto and a Tillotson……..the worst
