I own a 2020 Softail Standard. It does handle great and I has plenty of torque. You have to be careful when you thumb your right turn signal. Mine almost ran away with me once. That only happened ONCE. 😄
One of the main reasons Harley's way of putting the right signal on the throttle side is the dumbest idea ever. One big reason I haven't gotten a Harley.
Just bought a 2021! Love it. The torque and power are very impressive. When I am in town doing a 90° right hand turn while moving, I find I have to go in first gear, into the friction zone to make a controlled turn. do you do the same? The bottom line is this bike has so much torque and power that it really wants an open road!
I used to have a 2000 softail standard with the older twin 88B motor. I was always surprised how well it handled, even in the twisties. If I was to get another Harley it would be the Lowrider S.
The only thing keeping me from this bike is the small tank size. I would love this bike though. Would do a few mods, but would be more than happy riding it stock for a bit too.
Nice bike and ride. Consider buying some gloves and always wear them when riding. You will instinctively put your hands a down in a crash and it takes no time for your skin to be gone.
Just got this bike and I’m a new rider not to big and not to small just perfect will be learning on this bike and sharping my riding skills ? how good does it lean and handle sir ?
Handles good ! Not a sport bike but still decent. If you lean too much you can scrape. I did on this video at one point leaning left. You can hear it scrape lol
They’re actually pretty good but this is my dads bike and I normally ride a road glide. Overall it feels lighter which makes it feel like it brakes better. So probably subjective.
Harleys are made to be shifted pretty early because of all the torque. You'd very rarely be running it to redline in daily riding. But there is an RPM gauge built into the speedo if you want to see what your bike is taching. Also, I believe redline is like 5500 or 6k on M8s.
Agree. Softail Standard is very appealing to me. The simplicity is what I want. Looks like a great ride. Stay safe out there.

With all the torque you could honestly stay in 2nd gear and it would accelerate through a 90° turn unless you’re going like 5 mph or something

Question : Is riding as fun and enjoyable as it looks. I got the itch
It feels like flying
This is the next bike for me! I have a 05 heritage softail classic

What exaust are you running. Sounds good. I just got a 2021 fxst. I love it. Also have an 05 1200c sporster.
Its the vance and Hines short shots, I have a review on this bike on my channel too.
Does the seat hold a small rider in place, with wind pushing on you
yes but is very uncomfortable,replace the seat first.

Scrape pegs that is
Niceeeee, what a great bike!
Great video..Did you keep the stock seat?
What a nice place to ride, beautiful out there in North Carolina. I hate Houston.
Are those forward controls or stock?
Stock
how are the breaks on these new softails? Doubting between this. or splurging myself on a sportglide. But the single discs... i dunno.

@@10INVISIBLEPEOPLE thanks man.

Didn’t you put pipes on it??
Great video. Did you keep the stock seat?
Yup

How do u find redline on that bike?

Nice roads.
Bellissima strada
you're going to have to go into timeout for not doing a walk-around before riding
What stop sign. Lol. 😂 oops
Lol where ?
