The bike is made to suit the “West Coast Club Style” riders . The Lowrider-S is made for those that prefer handling over comfort, and power over weight. The gauge is high to keep your eyes on the road. The suspension and inverted forks are used to keep cornering clearance high. The mid controls and moto-bars are used for the best handling position in traffic. This style was first used by clubs with primarily FXRs around SanFrancisco in the 70`s and 80`s. This bike wasn’t intended to be a road sofa, used for commuting to pie eating contests
This is The second time I watched this video and I realised that in fact this is one of my Dream Bikes!!!, So I simply love it, its style, its Powerful engine, so truly love everything about it, Hope someday I could own such a wonderful Harley!!!
Lights are important because if someone does run into you, it makes it hard for their lawyer or insurance company to make the argument that you weren't visible.
I'm just the opposite. I think the tank mounted gauges look much better. I guess it's just a traditional thing for me. I'm sure the high mounted one is easier for the Rider to see, however the 20, 21 Lowrider S with the tank gauges has that old style HD look.
@@CarolinaLowrider Yep! I agree with you. This just cheapened the look of the bike. Not to mention, staring down at a crappy piece of plastic. If they were so bent on do this, why didn't they go to a single piece tank? I'll take it a step further than you. I don't like everything blacked out to begin with. The lowrider was once very beautiful. Had lots of chrome and some great colors.
You can't go from a bagger/touring bike to a cruiser is basically your deal man. Just like I won't go from my '22 Lowrider S to a bagger/touring bike. It's either you dig it or you don't. For me, I don't go cross country or crazy long multi state rides and the cruiser appeals to me as it is more of an iconic HD look from earlier times. Just my opinion. Now would I love a Street Glide for long rides? Absolutely, especially riding 2 up. I added an Edward Richie sissy bar, leather swing arm bag, and a thrashin supply fork bag. Plenty enough room to pack whatever...for me anyways. Got rid of that absurd little "fairing" if you want to call it that and added a Memphis Shades road warrior with an 11" smoked out shield which helped a lot with the wind drag. Went from pegs to Joker Machine mini floorboards for both rider and passenger, Custom Dynamics LED's front and back along with a Custom Dynamics triple play brake modulator (to make brakes strobe),Stage 1 with a 2 in 1 Bassani exhaust and doing a stage 2 with a Woods torque performance cam in a couple months. Would I have bought the ST if they had in stock at the time? Yes....mainly for the fairing though.
It’s impressive you’re in a position to buy a Harley like that just for your channel. Based on the other reviews it seems like a good bike and as you said there’s so much power. But the price is absolutely insane to me.
You are not wrong. In Australia these are $33500. Compared to the Street Bob at $25000, I think the street Bob is much better value for money. After multiple rides on both, the Low rider is not $7500 better than the street bob. They are both awesome machines though, I’ll be ordering a street bob.
I can tell from the way you ride why you don’t like this bike. Did you ever get out of 3rd gear? This bike is meant to be ripped through the gears. Go get back on your geezer glide.
The bike wasn’t mine any longer at the time of this video so no I wasn’t gonna rip around while doing a video on a bike that I already traded. The bike does get up but so do baggers with a heck of a lot more conveniences. Call em what you want but I like them better 🤘🏻
Id disagree with gauge location, its dangerous to be looking down on the tank, much safer to have guages higher. I think this is much more intuitive, imho ;)
My guess as to the reason for halogen bulbs- they're getting rid of old stock before the switch to LEDs. There's likely a pile of them in a warehouse & using them until they run out was the most fiscally responsible thing to do. Selling them on the open market would likely result in a loss as everyone is switching to LEDs.
Really that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. No Harley is stupid and they like ripping off there customers 2022 and still no led. If they did have a stock pile of lights sell them stop putting them on bikes
Dude you bought the bike just for content?! Bike is sick!, I’d would have bought a fairing of your like and some bags and your good to go! Got mine a few weeks ago and absolutely love it, though I live in a hot climate here in Spain and want to feel the direct air. Congrats one the new one 👍 also looking good 👍 regards
These bikes are heavy enough at 679. Who wants an extra 150-200? When I want to ride long distance. I hop on my DL1050- about 550lbs. When I want to cruise around in style, I hop on my LRS 117. Guys out there, these are impressive machines. As soon as you got on it you didn't connect? you never should have bought it.
I like this bike. I sat on one earlier this month. Liked the 883 but it was too small for my 6’ self. This one fit good and it had some loud ass pipes. Loved it. If I get it, it would be my first Harley. Started on a sports bike. I just don’t like the rims though, very plain.
Went to this bike from an FLTRU and 8 years of only baggers, Indian/Harley. So much fun but I do miss some of the amenities of the baggers. I'm just gonna keep hooning it around till I get bored 🤷🏽♂️
I have Viking Bags on mine. Relocation of the turn signals are not bad. The location are actually better to me as far as being seen. Drove mine to Thunder Beach Panama City which is 4 hrs away. Great ride. I do have mine set up for touring. Got many compliments on my bike down there. If you would have gotten rid of that bulky air breather you would have liked your bike more. Them you could rest your feet on those crash guards I gave the same ones on mine lol. But I could not stretch out because if that bulky breather. My dealership replaced it with the screaming Eagle one for free. Ride safe bro
Honestly there’s a ton of reasons I could throw out there but when it comes down to it, if I can only have one bike, it’s gotta be a bagger. I enjoy them way more. You too bro 🤘🏻
Man I get you .I have the new lowrider st and really like it.However I also own Indian Challenger and yea bagger just do it all in more comfort convenience. But damn I'm keeping them both!
Love my 2020 low rider s. Slap on leather pros and you got a bagger, problem solved for storage. Don’t like big fairing so Memphis shades and a big thrashin supply handle bar bag..
I was looking to trade my 23 Harley Nightster Special for a 24 Low Rider S or ST, back of my mind also a Indian Sport Chief as a friend has one and loves it... fairly cold out but in the past week I spent quite a bit of time in the Harley showroom looking at and sitting on the bikes... they told me how great the fairing was, loved the look of the bikes except that stupid inky dinky small gauge... we talked numbers and they were way to far off, if they would have been reasonable I would have bought it even without a test ride as winter is just starting here... they said I need to ride it and that i'll love it, we had a slightly warmer day coming up so I took an ST out for a ride... I actually hated it, got up to 60 and the fairing wasn't good at all, wind hitting my chest and helmet... does have torque but the engine isn't smooth and the throttle it twitchy... transmission as also hard to get into 1st... the display is awful, looking at it further when I got back the saddlebags are different sizes and all the lights aren't all LED... what the hell is Harley thinking... I went to the Indian dealer and they had a new Sport Chief in red, looked awesome so I took it out for a ride... night and day difference, the Indian was sooooooooooooo much better in every way... engine and transmission felt way better, throttle response smooth in standard mode, if I want twitchy it does have sport mode, Harley doesn't have any modes... just as much torque as the Harley... it's crazy but the smaller quarter fairing didn't feel that much different than the big one on the ST... the display on the Indian is just WOW... the Indian dealer made me a good fair offer with accessories, unlike Harley so I bought it... getting 2 up and leather saddlebags, so much better than the ST's uneven and hard painted saddlebags, leather won't scratch... Harley really needs to step up their game...
Which one do you prefer with their cons and pros, the Low rider S or the Chief Dark Horse Bobber? I bought the last one because it´s cheaper and as beautyfull and full power as the Low Rider. I came from an Iron, i still keep it because for just the city is the best.
I love my 22 lowrider S but the ergos are borked. I thought I would put apes and forwards on it but it handles so nice as is and I'm kinda afraid to ruin that
I know exactly what your saying I got a 2020 Streetglide special and I traded in my sport bike for a 2021 low rider s and added a torque cam the power is awesome but I could definitely not have this as my main bike and I’ve been offered a lot for my Streetglide but man my Streetglide is just a different feeling when I’m on it I can’t explain it . So I will definitely keep my Streetglide and if I get a good offer for my low rider s it’s gone … not because I don’t like it but because once you have a fairing and lots of storage u will never get use to just plain Softtail
Very true about the fairing and the storage. I could never go back to having a bike that didn’t have those things. I tend to travel longer distances and a minimalist bike does not make for a fun multi-day ride.
I always tell people you need a few bikes. One for the long haul rides as they are more comfy. One for tinkering around. And another just to build up and beat the daylights out of. Then all your bases are covered. A fourth would be good for cornering if you like that. More sporty.
@@Blacktophero34different types of bikes. Cruisers are generally going to be heavy, sport bikes are made to be lighter. Just for reference, my GSXR 1000 was 450 with fluids.
I've got 6000 miles on mine and have only had it since new for allmost 3 months. You have to ride it like you stole it. You rode it like an old geezer on a geezer glide.
Think people need to take the review with a grain of salt... or if you live anywhere other than America. I seem to find majority of reviews coming out of America heavily biased towards riding in a straight line for a long time, how it needs more storage, the wind etc. But for others who ride these bikes on weekends and do a bit of twisties? It's a different story. It's a great all rounder. Eg. I live in Australia and we rarely go on these cross country trips, hence there are rarely any road glides, street glides etc. As it's not necessary. So yea take these type of reviews with a grain of salt.
Love the video. Not over selling or under selling the bike, just an honest opinion. Curious as to what brand crash bar is on it, and are the foot rest usable with the big air cleaner on it?
Got to love people wanting less and paying more happy you have the money to shill but not 1 person I know and talked to about this bike would buy it. My god I got a 2018 107 low rider not a S but mine come with ABS, Cruz's control 2 up ready from the MFG. Yes I did get it used 1st owner had a ton of upgrades Hell when I did go thru the stuff that came with it and look up the parts my god. 1st owner new what they wanted stage 1 pipes tuner air cleaner LED light's from the dealer ( you know that was a lot of money ). $13,049 and out the door with 3.3% interests in 2021. I asked the dealer way so less then the other used bikes they had the sale's man told me know 1 liked the color of the bike really with all the upgrades that came with it beside what the 1st owner had done stage 1 done at the dealer ship ( A lot of money HD= $100.00 dollars just to look at your bike ) and all the other stuff that came with it. I told the sale's man JC at Hale's Harley-Davidson in Mansfield Ohio hold my beer be back in 30 mins ( True story ). I know late to this video but wanted to share. Be safe and keep the 2 wheels up.
uhh, that color though. All HD has the same genetics 99,999999 The only difference is all the screaming eagle upgrade, difference wait, all of them have the same upgrade, never mind! 679 pounds ''kind of light weight'', Jesus Christ. Naa it is not for me, but whatever rock people's boat. Most important is that people enjoy and is on the road.
Got a 2023 low rider s. Stock i didnt feel that connection either. But my buddy has a 2021 with all the bells and whistles on it. I road it and connected with it in seconds. So i knew getting the 2023 model was a fit. Forward controls made the bike about 10x better. Im 6'2. To me i have better control of it now. Changed put the seat and handle bars. Brought them up and back a bit. The ride position is perfect now. Leans you back a bit taking stress off your back and arms. Had to change the air breather too. Couldnt put my foot on the begs once the forwards went on. At the end of the day its a Harley. You have to change shit on it to fit you. Sometimes you get lucky with a model that just happens to be set up for your riding style and position. Just depends on the year and model really. Ive owned about 5 different models of harley. Around 11 bikes in total. Ive had road kings i bought that were perfect as is and ive had a couple i needed to change shit on. They were different years. At the end of the day find whats right for you.
I had to choose between a 2021 and a 2023 model, and took the older one just because of looks. The tank-mounted gauges look way better. They remind me of the scales on the back of a dragon or maybe of a mohawk. It's true that the new gauges are easier to read because you don't have to look down, but this never bothered me, because I almost never need them anyway. Now you only have the strange plastic cover, like a bandage after an amputation. Why on earth didn't they take the chance and make a single-piece tank? Yes, the newer model has the bigger engine, but honestly the 114 is more than enough for any situation you could think of.
I never understood that whole 'the gauges are not as safe because you have to look down" argument. As a rider you should be scanning everywhere anyways so a brief glimpse isn't going to cause use to lose situational awareness and frankly if it does you probably shouldn't be riding in the first place. The gauges on the tank just look better and more classy than what looks to me to be an after thought in design.
Got it...safety and what not...but that speedo is in the wrong spot for a Low Rider. Plus, my OCD cant ignore the fact that the top of the speedo sticks up over the top of the fairing!
You say you have had trouble finding saddlebags for this bike!?? Dude the 2022 low rider s comes with saddlebags and a front fixed fairing. Stock. Your missing information here.
Okay buddy go ride any other brand of bikes and they will show you power. hd is not powerful. Look at that gauge cluster all kinds of tech bahaha 1980 call they want there speedo back
My 2017 low rider S would stomp all bikes on the road from 10mph to 120mph lol. Sport bike guys always in disbelief when I'm 4-5 car lengths ahead of them and still pulling from them until I hit limiter at 126mph lol. All I had done was RR full exhaust and tune. 119hp 121tq to the wheels....thats nasty for a 110cc lmfao. The milwaukee motors are trash. I wish the 2017 had the inverted forks. It's the bike to have.
@@thegentlemen6135 the 3 or 4 bikes that compete with the the low rider s are all just as pricey only they're ugly. I don't give 2 shits for tech or spec sheets. You do you. I'm not on a UA-cam episode for a triumph rocket 3 saying how ugly it is ect..
What do you mean by "power"? This comment is so dumb it hurts. You don't like harley? That's cool. Are other bikes faster...yes these are cruisers. Does this bike put out an insane amount of torque? Yes.

The bike is made to suit the “West Coast Club Style” riders . The Lowrider-S is made for those that prefer handling over comfort, and power over weight. The gauge is high to keep your eyes on the road. The suspension and inverted forks are used to keep cornering clearance high. The mid controls and moto-bars are used for the best handling position in traffic. This style was first used by clubs with primarily FXRs around SanFrancisco in the 70`s and 80`s.

Hope your dream was realized.
You will reach your dreams. Anything is attainable. Ask and you shall receive. Just bought my 24 FXLRS last week
My dream bike, hopefully I’ll be able to get one in the upcoming months
i am right there with ya but then i seen buell is dropping that super cruiser soon too
Y’all gon get it champs!
Truly Stunning bike!!, No doubt at all one of my favorite motorcycles!!, Great video And explanation as well Thanks for sharing!!!
Lights are important because if someone does run into you, it makes it hard for their lawyer or insurance company to make the argument that you weren't visible.
Appreciate the honest review. You didn't trash the bike but made it clear it wasn't for you.
Aesthetically, the gauge up high is a toss-up but it is safer. Keeps your eyes forward.
I prefer the cluster up top and not on the tank. Idk - I guess I’ve just never liked the tank mounted clusters

0:13 - If it's your bike why don't you take the price tag off? :D
Well, it is not a touring bike and does not pretend to be imo. But not all of us want an 850 pound road behemoth. I’m liking what I see.

I asked the dealer way so less then the other used bikes they had the sale's man told me know 1 liked the color of the bike really with all the upgrades that came with it beside what the 1st owner had done stage 1 done at the dealer ship ( A lot of money HD= $100.00 dollars just to look at your bike ) and all the other stuff that came with it. I told the sale's man JC at Hale's Harley-Davidson in Mansfield Ohio hold my beer be back in 30 mins ( True story ). I know late to this video but wanted to share. Be safe and keep the 2 wheels up.
sad to see it go, but the new bike looks sweet.
Thanks man 👊🏻
uhh, that color though. All HD has the same genetics 99,999999 The only difference is all the screaming eagle upgrade, difference wait, all of them have the same upgrade, never mind! 679 pounds ''kind of light weight'', Jesus Christ. Naa it is not for me, but whatever rock people's boat. Most important is that people enjoy and is on the road.
Got a 2023 low rider s. Stock i didnt feel that connection either. But my buddy has a 2021 with all the bells and whistles on it. I road it and connected with it in seconds. So i knew getting the 2023 model was a fit. Forward controls made the bike about 10x better. Im 6'2. To me i have better control of it now. Changed put the seat and handle bars. Brought them up and back a bit. The ride position is perfect now. Leans you back a bit taking stress off your back and arms. Had to change the air breather too. Couldnt put my foot on the begs once the forwards went on. At the end of the day its a Harley. You have to change shit on it to fit you. Sometimes you get lucky with a model that just happens to be set up for your riding style and position. Just depends on the year and model really. Ive owned about 5 different models of harley. Around 11 bikes in total. Ive had road kings i bought that were perfect as is and ive had a couple i needed to change shit on. They were different years. At the end of the day find whats right for you.
you are right, to ride at 50 mph on a straight line you don't need such a bike..... Buy a scooter, it is more your level of skill....
I had to choose between a 2021 and a 2023 model, and took the older one just because of looks. The tank-mounted gauges look way better. They remind me of the scales on the back of a dragon or maybe of a mohawk. It's true that the new gauges are easier to read because you don't have to look down, but this never bothered me, because I almost never need them anyway. Now you only have the strange plastic cover, like a bandage after an amputation. Why on earth didn't they take the chance and make a single-piece tank?
Yes, the newer model has the bigger engine, but honestly the 114 is more than enough for any situation you could think of.
I never understood that whole 'the gauges are not as safe because you have to look down" argument. As a rider you should be scanning everywhere anyways so a brief glimpse isn't going to cause use to lose situational awareness and frankly if it does you probably shouldn't be riding in the first place.
The gauges on the tank just look better and more classy than what looks to me to be an after thought in design.
I agree. The tank mounted gauges were better. Not all of us want to be Jax Teller.
I was a little surprised that you gave up your street glide for that given your wife likes to ride with you sometimes.
Yeah she wasn't happy I promise you lol
its a low rider ;;;; why talk about bags and touring ? its a short haul power bike ...
Halogen light bulbs have tungsten filaments housed in a quartz capsule and filled with iodine and bromine gases.
Those blinkers are INCANDESCENT.

You spent 20k for content? It makes more sense to just find a demo day, right?
Smart getting rid of the Low Rider S…..the RG Special is much more useful.
You’re not very educated on the bike.
Just change the peg's and most of the thing's you moan about go away way way way better
But.....it ain't a Dyna!!!!
Thank god.
Got it...safety and what not...but that speedo is in the wrong spot for a Low Rider. Plus, my OCD cant ignore the fact that the top of the speedo sticks up over the top of the fairing!
I like the Fat Bob better…..
100%
Not if you’re 6’ or taller. Felt like a mini bike with power when rode one.
You say you have had trouble finding saddlebags for this bike!?? Dude the 2022 low rider s comes with saddlebags and a front fixed fairing. Stock. Your missing information here.
You mean the low rider st?
The ST comes with that not the S.
Wrong, it’s the ST that comes with bags and bigger fairing.
Of course the ST… more… more… MORE. Nothing is good enough. Spoiled, even spending other people’s money. The S already costs $20k.
I loved my 2017 low rider S. Should of never sold it! These new bikes are trash.
Okay buddy go ride any other brand of bikes and they will show you power. hd is not powerful. Look at that gauge cluster all kinds of tech bahaha 1980 call they want there speedo back
It's a motorcycle not a computer. It's for riding.. Riding modes are good for people learning to ride though.. Why are you here? Just to hate?
@@mikeessary4925 it’s cause your paying an outrageous amount of money for something you could of bought ten years ago
My 2017 low rider S would stomp all bikes on the road from 10mph to 120mph lol. Sport bike guys always in disbelief when I'm 4-5 car lengths ahead of them and still pulling from them until I hit limiter at 126mph lol. All I had done was RR full exhaust and tune. 119hp 121tq to the wheels....thats nasty for a 110cc lmfao. The milwaukee motors are trash. I wish the 2017 had the inverted forks. It's the bike to have.
@@thegentlemen6135 the 3 or 4 bikes that compete with the the low rider s are all just as pricey only they're ugly. I don't give 2 shits for tech or spec sheets. You do you. I'm not on a UA-cam episode for a triumph rocket 3 saying how ugly it is ect..
What do you mean by "power"? This comment is so dumb it hurts. You don't like harley? That's cool. Are other bikes faster...yes these are cruisers. Does this bike put out an insane amount of torque? Yes.
It is God awful ugly and shows that Harley is starting to go into a death spiral.
Many of us would disagree.
Thats your opinion
A direct competitor to this bike would be the Triumph Rocket and the Rocket renders this one anemic in every way. The Rocket blows it away.
Triumph,😂😂😂😂😂😂
