      Tran Cat if it’s “Harley branded” then it isn’t aftermarket. And if you’re going to put an AFTERMARKET engine component on your bike, then have a problem with your engine, then why on earth would you expect Harley to take responsibility? You don’t go to Burger King and complain because the french fries you got at McDonald’s were cold. Use your head.

    It's good to see Harley get back to basics with a reasonably priced bike that people actually want. The seat has to go and like the look of the tank but would prefer a 5 gallon tank.
    I find myself coming full circle and really starting to appreciate the true joy of motorcycling without all the distractions of fully loaded touring bikes.

    A softtail standard “2001” was my first Harley because of the price and I loved that bike. Right up to when a hit a dog on the interstate and totaled it in 2007. I have many great memories of it. Harley needs this type of bike for people wanting their first one. Then again I love all the Harley’s I’ve had sense then but the standard give me my start.

    Just got a 2021 Softail Standard. I love the shit out of it. I plan on putting bags on it, a highway bar, Memphis shades fairing, sissy bar, and either rear seat or luggage rack. Even without all of that I love the barebones look of it. It was exactly what I was after. It has a ton of power and can be used for basically anything from commuting, riding around town, and touring. It also fit my budget quite perfectly. So far I love it!

      This was the thing I didn't like about it too. Should have been more differentiated from Street Bob. I'm also not a fan of the digital clamp speedo, would rather have seen a dash and "analog" style speedo. Especially since I think I saw some blurb about "old school customization".

      Also wish it was forward controls rather than mid. Thought the whole point of FXST/FXSTC was to get that bobbed chopper look. This just doesn't have that despite the polished bits instead of being totally blacked out everywhere.

    Sold! It's for me... I like polished aluminum and black the best; chrome rust and pits and bubbles... With aluminum, you just re-polish it. Black paint on engine covers gets scratched when you do engine mods and repairs.
    In the long run its much easier to maintain the finishes on the new Softail Standard and Softail Slim Models, in my opinion. Those are the two I'm interested in. And, at the $13,600.00 price point, the Softail Standard just became my 1st choice... Peace, Stiletto :-)

      You'll have to shop around. I have a place near me called "Road Track & Trail and they have a 16' Blacked out Fatboy for only 8 or 9k with low miles. Nothing wrong with the M8s except the scissor gear sound they make. Sound more jap to me. The frames are 65% for stiff and have the rear mono shock and are overall a tad lighter than the twin cams. I just thought you would like the Slim if you like the streetbob. Otherwise get a nice 103 twin cam. They look good and have enough power. Also is a proven motor and sound better than the M8s. The 103 will be better for your wallet. Heck, i picked up an 09' StreetGlide last yr for $6800 out the door and only 29k miles. It does just fine for me. I whip it around as easily as my softails. Good luck on your search.

While I am glad that Harley is listening it still tears my heart to see my beloved model become what I feel is comparable to an old sportster brand. Would be interested to see what it looks like with a 21" front wheel and forward controls. Maybe even an aftermarket dash panel for the tank to beef it up a bit and a duck tail.

    This "entry level" Harley is a good idea. Just need to get younger people into the game. Great platform for also breaking in the younger crowd in the ways of customization to make a bike their own. Dodge had a thing awhile back where you built your vehicle online and they shipped it to the legal middleman where you could pay more. Neat concept.

      Their big twin entry level bike needs to be under $12,000 to work in brining in the new younger crowd ...

  • @melissaatkinson7810
    @melissaatkinson7810 4 роки тому

    Glad to see you back John. First of all from a women standard my first bike was a street 750 I loved the bike it was a great starter bike but it had the trade-in incentive and I ended up trading it in on a 2020 heritage classic 107 that by the way has chrome spoke rims. I think again from a woman’s viewpoint the sportsters for women are not always a great pic for the shorter woman I was going to get a sportster but It was to tall and it cost too much to have it lowered and the street 750 fit me very well. Then when I went in to see what I could get for my trade-in I had my heart set on the white deluxe but I sat on all the bikes even the street glide standard the Road King, deluxe and the heritage I know I like the bagger or the classier look so I didn’t really look at the slims or the street Bob’s or the fat boys that much. After my whole day of shopping I fell in love with the heritage I am a girl that likes chrome so I ended up getting the 107 I’m not into a lot of power so I got the 107 with the chrome💗 I think this softail standard will be a great first bike for women that necessarily don’t like the top-heavy sportster or the street 750 that they don’t like the looks of. I think I would’ve gone for that bike and looked at it in my beginning shopping days for a Harley if softail standard was available I might’ve went that route looks like a nice bike. Just this woman’s point of view. Thanks for all you do

    Interesting price point. In Canada it’s $15,499 + Freight/PDI + Tax = $18,300 out the door price. This is way to expensive for a bike with nothing on it. For this price I can buy almost any bike from any other manufacturer and it will come loaded with everything (Traction control, Cornering ABS, driving modes, Slipper clutch to name a few things and a longer base warranty).
    Great idea for the bike, but again they missed the boat on pricing. It should have been $10,000 out the door.
    Love your videos. Ride safe.
