The 72 is one of the most beautiful bikes Harley has ever made. The EVO is such an awesome motor for that size bike, it sounds awesome, it’s indestructible, it makes plenty of power (1200 anyway). It’s such a great package. I hope to have one in my stable someday.
I love my 08 Nightster
This is a ‘nod’ to the Chicano styling of East LA I believe.
I love my 72 and travel everywhere with it , I just carry extra fuel bottles and honestly haven’t had to use them once ! We live in mass. And we travel to upper VT ., NH. ect. And I also do highway and have never had wheel wobble or any problems at 80mph. I will never get rid of it : ))
I like the 48 but i love the heavy metal flaked paint on the 72
Love my 72...yes it's small but that's what I like about it. I have a bad back with nerve damage and I sometimes lose feeling in my leg. You can hold up this bike with one leg and one arm. That's why its awesome.
Man I love watching your videos man. Every time I watch them I just have to go for a ride haha keep up the words of wisdom. I loved the content but I subscribed because the words of wisdom! Much love! All the way from south Texas!
i liked riding my 72 so much but i needed a bigger tank for longer rides. But they are great bar hoppers and cafe runners. So comfortable and a joy to ride.
I've got a 73 shovelhead super glide custom that was my dad's. That bike is built too buddy. I remember helping my dad put it all together just the way he wanted it as a teenager.
1969 AMF bought Harley, Thank God for the money to keep them going.1981 2 Guys bought them back and the Legion goes on. Great review on motorcycles. Thks
Just watched about a dozen videos. I'm a new Sub. I love the content. Digging the Words of Wisdom
Sean, they didn’t style the Sportster 72 after a 1972 Sportster. It was designed after the popular bobbed our bikes that were seen on Route 72 in Los Angels. Promise :) keep up the words of wisdom. I love how you stopped and turned back for God’s word.
+Gerry Johnson are you being serious ? Bc I have a 1972 sporty sitting in my shop right now
Srkcycles I’m being completely serious. I googled it before I left my comment just to make sure that I had my facts straight lol. I have read this numerous times and seen videos on it.
Yes @Srkcycles Gerry is right, the 72 named after highway 72 in California. Here is a link to prove www.cycleworld.com/2012/02/23/2012-harley-davidson-seventy-two-xl1200v-sportster-first-ride
+Gerry Johnson that's the difference between you and me. You do research before and I do research after I leave a comment or make a video. Great info
Srkcycles lol its cool bro. I absolutely love your videos and your dedication to Christ. Hopefully one day I can buy a bike from you guys. Just gotta pay off the current one lol. God bless.
I had a '93 1200 w/ a peanut tank. I'd lugged my seabag EVERYWHERE on my back. That's all I had for prob 6 yrs was that Sporty. Loved the Buckhorn bars.
I love these and the 48's too. They are my favorite evolution Sportsters. I think the old 900 iron head Sportsters are the most beautiful of all Sportsters. 👍😊
Looked at a '72 this weekend- thinking I needed another bike 😜 Googled it to see what others thought and your video popped up. Love the beard, heard the scripture- instant subscriber!! Nice review! Thanks!
I actually just bought one from salvage auction
@@VladimirKolombet So have you had time to check it out and decide what you think about it yet?
@@pamelagarnica4415 yes, I still have it I'm riding it now. I like it a lot it's very cool looking
@@VladimirKolombet Did you happen to get the red/burgundy color with the glitter/speckled paint? That's the one I looked at and of course it was bought as soon as I left the shop. I checked back and it was already gone.
@@pamelagarnica4415 NO I bought mine at an auction
That Black Line is one hell of a machine. That is worthy of driving it from Pennsylvania to Florida
The 72 was named after route 72 in California. Which is Whittier blvd, its meant to look like a chicano chopper that were popular on this famous cruising spot.
That’s not why is was named that but okay
Simple Google search proves he is indeed correct @@dustyclasso2012
@dustyclasso2012 Yes, it is. Look it up. I know harley history pretty well.
Bought same color 2012 Seventy-Two early this year... 3 cash offers from just stopping to getting gas! Which you do a lot.. but that's the fun part. Getting gas and drawing a on lookers.
I'd love to see that comparison video!
My own opinion, Sporty's are freakin fun to ride, picked up a 91 1200 6 yrs ago, good on hi-ways but main back roads, like 301 or route 60 in central Florida, more balls than a pawn shop window, great for tight turns, a gr8 bike all around.
Man 301 would be great to ride on, but I feel that with as many stupid drivers as I see on there these days (like around the Villages) it would be a death sentence 😂
I love the sportster 72s, very good style to my eyes
I've had two Sportsters, the first an '84 candy plum xlh 1000 iron head and a '93 scarlet red Evo 883. I put 16" apes on the "93 and loved them, would probably go with 12" or 14" on the next one, 16" are a little much to me. But, even though the Sportster, especially the 883, is a smaller bike I think that they are one of the best looking when your riding one. That tank style when you look down on it and the air cleaner knocking at your knee give it an old school classic hot rod look! It's hard to beat in my book!
My first Harley-Davidson was a '72 Sportster when I was 16 years old. This is everything that was plus a dependable motor & nicer look. I want one.
I knew that's why you turned the bike around, good man.
Win to win. Amazing stuff.
Put a 75 and 79 sporty 1200 together in early 90s. Lots of fun to ride and enjoy bar hopper bikes. How these on tall riders? 6 2-3
Call me crazy if ya like but all of my harley's were amf and even with the little oil leak, they never broke down the most they cost were an electra glide at 3500 my chopper got 2nd place in San Diego 3000 dollars and my first one two yr old 76 for 1900. Well worth the price,In fact I am looking at another 77 glide stripped doen ,rebuilt from top to bottom. My retro bike.
You know that the signal light is tied directly to the bottom of that left and right mirror don't you?, If it gets too lose the signal light will come off and flop around going down the road and then how annoying would it be?
I have a burnt Orange 72 with the short shots, I get a lot of compliments on it. But the small gas tank.... is a pain but I just live with it.
What is the top speed and 0-60 of yours?
@tylerfabish5578 120 mph top speed, but it got sketch after 90mph. 0-60 was like 4-5 seconds, but I also had the bore kit.
@@ThePacalypto I was hoping you'd say 150
Reminds me of my BSA back in the day
72 sportster is the best one aside from the 1200R or euro 883r models. Roadster is my favorite currently available sporty
I have a 1200r and I love it
I may put those styles bars on my 2002 harley davidson sportster 883 XL custom
I don't know if your still here but I'm 73 years old and want to sell my Harley Davidson Softail Custom and get the 72 since I only ride in town and 90 lbs less is perfect for me. Thank you for your video, I also have your video on the Harley Softail Custom where you point out all the Chrome on the bike. I'm the perfect guy for a 72. Gil in Massachusetts
Great bike !
Been wanting to ask you about your shoes, what kind of shoes are they?? I love them!
+S. Dalton Ox blood doc martins. Recently got them on eBay. They are apparently from the 90's. I really like them also
What’s the deal with the Lincoln limousine? If you pause it @1:13 you can see it.
guy in the SRT is my bail bondsman!!! 🤣
may I ask how tall you are?
How did you not see the truth by looking at it? It looks awsome 😍
Mirror ? What mirror?
This harley was named after old hwy 72 whittier boulevard, south California
Best looking bike in my opinion
I like your scriptures quotations!
SRT Jeep?
I love my 2012 Fatboy.
But, If I have the opportunity to own another Harley, this Sportster 72 will be the ones.
Would this bike be good for a beginner? I'm 5'9 210 pounds
Whatever bike you choose, take the safety course.
love mine but my eye has been taken by the 2018 street bob
Sean, How did you get started in the business? Can anyone with a love for bikes get into this? Throw me some sage wisdom, I Would love to do what you do. Any ideas?
+Stephen Vilotti well I'm all about helping my competition lol. But maybe I should do a video on how I started in this. I will tell you this it didn't happen over night. I had been working through the idea for at least 4 years before it really started coming together. I Had a goal and persistence and God set everything up for me.
Yes, I'd like to know as well. Tried a couple times and Regulations and hoops stall me out.
how much?
Nice Video 👍👌👊😎
72 is about the chopper riders in LA not the year... and AMF made all the cool harley looks even if they broke lots lol... without AMF no harley today!
I don’t really understand why everyone complains about the gas tank on the sportsters, I rode one for 6 hours one day and I went to fill it up and it didn’t need it, maybe I just didn’t push the bike very hard to use more gas idk
I want one of those so bad but I'm already making two motorcycle payments LOL.
72 has Nothing to do with a year. It's a tribute to the Latino chopper culture in Southern California, on Highway 72. That's actually a much cooler bike if you know what it represents
I'm sure others have already chimed in, but the 1200 "72" has nothing to do with the model year 1972.
Hey I am six foot tall. Am I to big of a guy to ride a '72?
fwd ctl that is.
2015 with mirror issues. Oh boy!
austin M It was a joke my dude.
What size gas tank the 72 has?
2.5 gal
Love the scripture readings, got nervous when you didn't have one.
The 72 is the best looking bike....ever.
its not about the year 72 was an area of southern Ca. that had a lot of bike culture but im not 100%
What's the dealio with the bike giveaway? How do i get on board with that?
Coming from my head I'm like" how do you not know at this point?!"
They push it so hard in the videos. But you go to the description of the video and hit the patreon link.
And it will guide you through it. You donate so much and it's like every dollar is an entry or something? But the more you donate you get certain things back like special videos and money off gear.
+Devin Keefner it should be the first link in he description below
I hate the chrome and candy bikes
Blacked out chrome and flat paint, just amazing
How big is the engine?
1200
For real I almost thought you forgot the word of wisdom
I just bought a 2020 iron 1200. I would have rather got a 72. They are my style.
1974 IRONHEAD FOREVER
Anyone who likes a 72 will LOVE the old style Dyna Wide Glide. It’s like a 72 on Steroids. Can grab a used one now for really cheap instead of buying a new sportster. I paid 5000 for my 2002 wide glide with 15k miles on it. But they got the same chopper look with the rake and apes but has the big twin motor. I sold mine 3 years ago and greatly regret it 😰
Thank you for this 😂 I think I found my dream bike lol
@AlmostLakai94 I think you will be very pleased 👍. Never had a lick of trouble with my 2002 wide glide. It had that awesome thumping idle with the carbed twin cam 88. The last Harleys to have carbs. I shoukda kept it. You should be able to snag one for 4500 or so now
Love the scripture, oh yeah, the bike is awesome too!
I don't like the fat tires on the 48.
It's not a year it's Whittier Boulevard Highway 72
Its named after hwy 72
Man I wish SRK still sold bikes
I love the 72. Trying to save 3k for a down payment for one
Tom Campbell did you get it done bro?
SharkGlide17. I actually went with a 2012 wideglide.
Tom Campbell big twin with a 6spd, good choice brotha. Ride safe!
Sharkglide17 number one thing i want to do is paint it harley "cool blue" offered on the street bob (its currently black) I'm kicking the idea of a "mild build" want to try and get 125tq with out getting a bore kit.
Tom Campbell call Fuel Moto
my first harley was a 2013 72 :)
I love my 72 only flaw is gotta get gas every 60 miles
It's actually called the 72 because it's named after Whittier Blvd route 72.. In Cali... The birth place of the custom lowriders and all that shit.. Chicano bikes... Cholo bikes... Choppers... Some people say it's named the 72 to showcase the "custom" Harleys during that era... Which could be a 1972 Harley... But chances are that they were older bikes customized with the 70s style.. So technically... Had nothing to do with the amf bikes...
put a sling bag over your shoulders and stuff it full of your belonging and down the road you go, I did it like that with my softail , no more problems with the flhs.
Love how you include scripture in these videos.
I love the christian values on this channel. And then the bikes
God had better fixed that mirror
Just remember, if you go to the beach:
"Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material"
- Leviticus 19:19
"'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD."
- Leviticus 19:28
Good thing as there's not even room for a Speedo on the 72!
+saddlebag that's the old covenant made for the Jews before Jesus to set themselves apart from the world. We are under the new covenant. Lob the lord your God with all your heard and love your neighbor as yourself.
Maybe according to your preacher, but Jesus supposedly said:
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
- Matthew 5:17-18
So no tattoos and no polyester trunks for you. And be careful what you eat at the beach. I seem to remember shell fish being on the naughty list. I can live without Turtle and Oysters, but I do love me some shrimp and crab!
Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart. Love thy neighbor as yourself. As a sidenote, i don't have any tattoos -Leviticus 19:28
Tom: Love thy neighbor? Meh, I wanna see her pic first.
As to God telling you to be all lovey dovey, what happened? Here's what he told Abraham:
Genesis 22
2 Then God said, “Take your son to the land of Moriah and kill your son there as a sacrifice for me. This must be Isaac, your only son, the one you love. Use him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains there. I will tell you which mountain.”
Real family values promoter that guy.
Interpretation is key. I’m not religious but I’m not a douche that has to debate people’s beliefs either
Boy wtf are those ???
I trips and buy clothes
Why waste your time going home and packing some old shit?
looks like 45 HP i can't believe you even won't to ride that thing
Oh little one you know very little...
I know God rides a Harley, but what is it with American bike vloggers and biblical quotations?
Alan Williams I think it’s pretty weird too honestly. Kinda cheesy as well. This is the first motovlogger I’ve ever seen doing bible quotes though.
That's one of the best looking girl's bike ever made.
It was all going well until you started quoting the bible 🤦♂️
Please stop the religious stuff, not all of us believe.
No one said you had to believe to watch the video. He makes the videos so, in my book, he can do whatever the hell he wants and if I don't like it, I don't have to watch it. It's called tolerance my dude. No one said you had to agree with it.
If you don't like it don't watch.
God must of promised him a dodgy wing mirror
