2020 Harley Low Rider S Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Here's my impression of the 2020 Harley Low Rider S. THis was just a quick ride and of course, here in Florida, we have no mountains or winding roads, so, sit back and enjoy the ride, especially if you're up North where it's freezing cold. www.ridelikeap... Also, many thanks to Tampa Harley Davidson for the use of their motorcycle today for the test ride/review. www.tampaharle...

Just rode my 2020 Street Bob for the first time today.
Thanks Pro! You gave me great drills and practice drills which I mastered on a small 230 Duosport. I gained confidence and bought the Bobber. Wow! 2020 street Bob 2 tone!
Sure, Jerry, would love to just see ya on some more rides. The lessons are great but just pleasure riding is great too.
You said it. Especially now with the "quarantine" going on. Good to see someone out riding. (At least I get to ride to and from the job).
P.S. Yes, keep doing reviews/rides, as well as tips for riding. I bought your DVD about 20 years ago. I am so glad I did. I have been practicing the skills ever since and still practice regularly to stay proficient. It helped my riding a lot here in Tucson, Arizona. My wife has also been practicing your You Tube tips and it is helping her. She prefers watching them over the DVD.
Jerry, I enjoy your detailed and objective reviews about all the positive points and the detractors. As you have stated before, there is no perfect bike. That is why we all need several! Ghost is the best lead! Always looking out for the bike behind. You should shoot some videos with him, on the proper way to safely lead a group. Great vid. A pleasure watching two professionals at work.
Love this Jerry, would love to see you work your way through a lot of the new Harley softails in videos like this. We see a lot of regular, young UA-camrs do reviews and say a lot of the same things, but you have a totally different level of experience, wisdom and can give a different angle. Wouldn't mind seeing you on the Fat Bob, Street Bob, Iron 883,etc give a little insight into what sort of rider you could see on these and what the skill levels are,etc
Very well said, Tony. I like and appreciate all of the UA-camrs who are out there showing passion for the HD brand, but it is nice hearing Motorman's views and opinions on all things HD.
More reviews are on the way. Click the bell to be notified.
@@motorman857 perfect, can't wait for the Street Bob 2020 review, thinking of picking that up for my first Harley.
@@anthonyr587 me too. Or the FXLR/FXLRS
Rider since 1963. Saw the Great Escape with Steve McQueen and was hooked. First HD 1966 Police Special bought in 69 for $800 bucks. Took the saddle off and rode on a pillow to high school before I saved enough to buy a cobra seat. 5'8". The dyna reminds me of my 1980 Fat Bob.After an hour of riding our butts were so sore we had to stop and walk around. Price was $5400/tax license out the door. It was an uncomfortable scooter and major problems with electrical ignition. Got rid of it for a loss with less that 4K miles. In 1998 went to The Cycle Barn in Lynnwood Washington. Tested a new Fat Boy and reminded me of the Bob and was turned off. Jumped on the 1500 CC Valkyrie and it had so much power it immediately had my respect. Scared me a bit. $14K compared to $18K with bad memories. I sold the Honda and wish I hadn't. That scoot never let me down. I cqn't remember how many break downs with all of my HD's iv'e owned. Do you remember the runs where someone drove the pick up when the HD's broke down? Did you know the Seattle ferry system ferries have machine shops in them? One of the machinists built me a part while crossing. I now own a 2003 92 C Victory. It's better than any HD I've ever owned. Hoping Polaris brings them back. I'm enjoying your vids copper:) Head to Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho for some great rodes. I lived in Jax & Orlando totally 8 years. There's no comparison in the beauty. I will never forget cruising along A1A from Jax to St. Augustine on one of my FLH's. If you do make it to the Great Northwest, North Cascades Highway around July or August is when to go. My first home in Jax was $14K Cost for scoots these days are ridiculous. That's why HD and others are losing the young crowd.
Yes Motorman, really enjoy the reviews on the Harley brand, would like to see more!
Yes enjoying hearing your thoughts on the rest of Harley's lineup, please keep em coming!
Enjoy your reviews/rides. That is a nice looking bike.
Plus 1 on ‘yes’ to quick ride reviews 👍
I enjoyed the ride review video. I hope you’ll do one on the heritage classic.
Love the review ride, I was waiting for you to turn some really small circles with the cruiser! I resisted it at first, but putting a windshield on my 2018 Deluxe was one of the best things I could do, should have done it sooner! Snowing here in Massachusetts, but Spring is coming!!!
Yeah I like these quick ride reviews good overview It really means something to hear that you would have one of those in your garage thank you appreciate it.
Nice bike and love these short ride outs thanks
Good review, I would like to see more of test ride types of videos
Yes. Do some more test riding videos. Learning a lot from your videos
very jealous! Snowing here in PA. Now I want to ride. Nice motorcycle
3 feet of snow and minus -10 temp here in Northern Minnesota. These videos help me keep my sanity during the 9 month long winters up here. Keep them coming! Can't wait to ride my new Lowrider S i picked up a few weeks ago. I have been modifying it to fit me better.
I like the quick review videos. I have the Low Rider S and love it. Add that to your garage. The wife will enjoy it.
I definitely enjoy the new bike videos and yes Jerry, it's freezing up here in NY!!
got my FXLRS last November with v&H radius 2 cruise control and kauana heated grips. Nice ride.
Great review ride safe my friend and keep them coming!
Thumbs Up Jerry, keep them coming. It's nice to hear your opinion on the bikes.
Love the reviews on the bikes..keep them coming!
Good video bud, I'm glad they brought back the lowrider. I have an '04 wide glide which in hindsight was WAY too much harley for my first bike but I've learned alot on it
Now that’s a fine looking bike. What’s not to like about it. 78 degrees in Florida. Come on man. I’m up here in Philly dealing with snow and ice wishing I was riding
J T J I bet hang in there til then ride safe brother
Wonder if Motorman could get out of a speeding ticket?
Chased a buddy of mine today on his new 2020 Roadster. Also a fantastic bike
I like the review like this. Love my loweider s . Can’t wait to take a class on it from you.
Dig the short reviews... and I want that bike!
Great video! I bought my black FXLRS from Tampa Harley too. Shoutout to Ghost and Babyface! Looking forward to your next upload, ride safe.
I Love your videos, motorman! I agree, reach and seating posture are soooooo important. That’s why I Love my 2016 HD Night Rod Special - it’s Perfect for Me!
Absolutely!! All about the ergonomics!
Love the video Motorman! I like the low rider S model too. Could you review the Fat Boy next?
Enjoy the reviews, thanks
Love the ride reviews, would like to see the sport glide, road king and electra glide standard
It sounds like you know your way around a Harley. Good stuff.
Keep doing these reviews! (And not just HD’s)
Need a windshield, drive a car. Need some wind therapy, hop on a bike. Dogs get it. Nice review Jerry.
Enjoy all your videos, especially now when it is -40 here in northern Alberta, Canada. My ride is an '18 Ultra Limited Low( when its warmer, lol.)
Thank you for doing these reviews, i saw the Fat Bob one you did to , really enjoying them . What bike do you like that can I can do some two up riding but also have fun when I am solo on ? I have an 02 Road King that is great but looking to add a smaller bike to the stable . Thanks
A Triumph Bonneville comes to mind as does many Hondas and Kawasaki standards.
Hey Jerry I love how that kackass just made a right in front of you. We almost got taken out that same way on a test ride at Huntington Beach Harley while riding the Street Bobs.
It’s good to see you doing reviews, with all your knowledge and experience we are going to be able to receive some trustful information and a good opinion for sure!
Like these reviews. Keep em up please.
Appreciate your expertise and insights, Jerry. Enjoy both long and short video formats for different reasons. God bless.
Nice bike and ya it's 20 and snowing like hell here in upstate NY 🙄
Fantastic, love the ride review. 03 Fatboy owner would love to see you check out the new Fatboy. Thanks Motoman!
Good review, I have a 2018 Softail Lowrider...and love it.
Like the reviews on the bikes you road.
Jerry! Pulling hard on that throttle.. didn’t know you had it in you. 🤘🏼
I like the Lowrider S and the Fat Bob ... Have been steered towards the FB by friends, and I notice Ghost was riding one here ... 🤔😉
I have been looking at this one for number 3 to go with my SGS and our Tri Glide , can you imagine the low rider with the 131. kit
I think it's got enough power now but whatever floats your boat.
Yeah mate. They‘re pretty cool! Thanks!
That guy was launching that Fat Boy haha. Hey it looked like you had a great time on that thing Jerry. Great review.
Jerry you should try the Fat Bob. Although the Low Rider is great looking I liked the Fat Bob better in the saddle. Keep the reviews coming!
I've got a review of the Fat Bob coming on Monday.
Another great review. I enjoyed the "ride'!
I have a 97' FXDL
Will never get rid of it.
EVO motors are killer
Nice bike enjoyed the review. If you have a Triumph dealer near by see if you can take out the new Rocket 3. Would like to hear your opinion.
I think I'm better off reviewing bikes I would consider owning. The Rocket just doesn't do anything for me.
Thought it a different theme but a similar style to the Low Rider, Fat Bob type of ride. All great bikes.
Keep em coming!
By the way, I really like these short review videos! Thanks, Motorman!
It is good to see you on something other than the big Harley Davidsons. This makes you a multi-faceted individual. So, what's next - the Honda Grom?
Hey, Mr. Motorman! These reviews are a nice addition to the channel, but it would be even nicer if you could pull these bikes through some of your exercises and tell your expert opinion on how they handle at low speeds. Because that's something that hundreds of other reviews on UA-cam are desperately lacking. And your expertise in that area would make that kind of reviews really invaluable and a standout among others.
Jerry, I have been trying to talk myself out of buying one... now it has your recommendation.... I, and I'm sure my bank thank you 🇭🇲😉🇭🇲💚🇭🇲
🤘⚡️🤘I love this bike.
Waiting for more videos on yours
love the short reviews, keep them coming
I don't like mids to begin with but those just don't work with that seat height. At 5'10/30 I found it almost unridable. Very uncomfortable. Untherwise I love it.
I just had to back and watch this video again. Oh yes I hear the clues now. I did have a senior moment on remembering your test ride of the Lowrider S. Enjoy!
I fell in love withe the 2017 Dyna Lowrider S. I saw it for the first time at Shelton's Harley Davidson Mall Shop in Smithfield, NC in 2018. "My neck of the woods. "
cool video, I thought the idiot in the jeep was going to pull out in front of you. And yes sucks lots snow and fiken cold weather, but love watching your vids while on this down time.lol
Keep them coming . Always a great review from a professional.
Much appreciated!
Like your review Jerry no BS as usual!
That Harley Davidson sound is music to my ears🎼
🖤🏍💨🔥
Love your reviews! And your lessons!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the review.
“Gloriously torquey”....that’s a new one. Don’t understand why dealership didn’t trust The MotorMan. Still a great video.👍🏼 😎
I asked to have someone lead thru some of the less trafficked streets since I'm not familiar with the area.
Makes sense, thanks man. 👍🏼
How do you like the mono shock or do you prefer the older dual shocks on the rear suspension?
The mono shock on this bike gave me a smooth ride and Tampa's roads aren't the best.
I like the short review format. I mirror the comment about the Heritage - would like to see that too!
I owned an 09 Low Rider for 4 years, really liked it, I can only imagine how nice the new S is.
Jerry, I currently ride a FJR1300 and am considering a used Goldwing or Road Glide among others next... In another video I believe you said during your time on the job that the Harleys held up better on the than Goldwings did. Lots of bikes out there, but in your opinion which do you think is the better ride? I would commute to work and take some trips now and then. Thanks
Loved the review, and the sound of this bike!
Keep up the reviews sir
Thanks Motorman.
Yes. These are great test-ride videos. Keep 'em coming please Jerry. :)
Since you liked the low rider "s" you my want to try the softail slim "s" or the softail slim just a little nicer with the 114
We have 7 inches of snow here in Michigan today. Wish I was riding.
Love the quick ride videos especially this one since I’ve been trying to decide on this or the street bob. Do you think the low rider s is worth the extra cash over the street bob?
I'd say yes. You get the bigger motor the dual disk brakes up front and ABS standard and I like the longer rear fender. I'd go for the S, no question about it. I'll have my Street Bob test up later today so click the bell.
Putting the gauges in the fairing would make it nice fir the rider.
I would have thought it would be even lighter than what you mentioned.
670 lbs
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino About 230lbs lighter than my Limited. If I were to own 2, this is one I’d consider.
Yeah I like these reviews!
Yes I do like this video and I do like Harley's but would be nice to see some metric cruisers .
Thank you for your videos.
And yes it is cold here in northern Illinois.
Metric dealers around here won't let you ride their bikes unless you buy it. Pretty stupid I know but that's the way it is.
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino Same here in Southern VA. Before buying my Electra Glide I went to buy a Gold Wing. The dealer wouldn’t even let me test ride the motor even if I was buying it. Could only ride it after signing the papers. Would never go back to a Honda dealer. I went to the HD dealer and they let me test drive every motor they had to make sure I got what was best for me.
@@motorman857 Great review. Hope you upload some more short reviews from here on out. I find all your videos highly informative. Keep up the good work.
Great Vid Jerry, just curious what is the 3rd Bike in your Stable?
@Mid-day_ Light That's a little Harsh, Jerry got better taste then a Schwinn
2017 HD Ultra, 2109 HD Police RoadKing, 2020 Police ElectraGlide
@@motorman857 Jerry just got back from a ride, ran into some moderate winds, but a buddy I ride with freaks every time we hit wind, any advise or have you done a vid on riding in the wind I could share with him?
@@nickrandell2784 No video's on that subject. The trick is to lean into the wind.
@@motorman857 Thanks Jerry, that is what I have been trying to teach him lean into the wind and throttle your way through it, don't back of the throttle if you slow her down you gonna get into trouble. Appreciate your response.
P.S.S. Forgot to mention the Rocket III has 163 ft lbs torque and 165 hp! An insane experience to ride in a cruiser, but way overboard!
I know you like Harleys a lot (so do I), but I would love to see you test and review a Triumph Rocket III. You will never feel power or torque like it in any other current cruiser on the market. It has the largest production motorcycle engine in the world. Up until 2019, they were cruisers. But the 2020 was changed to look so sporty, it almost looks like a space bike. But I am really curious what you would say about the handling of the bike.
Did your chaperone put the kibosh on low speed maneuvering?
Throw a windshield on it and some bags and you will have....a Sport Glide. 😀 Hope you do review Sport Glide soon.
I own a 2016 MG V7 II and a 2015 HD Super Low 1200T. Love both of them for what they are. The HD is really not that powerful (quick) but is a good bike for the Highway/Interstate. I like how it is nimble and easy to ride for its weight. The Soft Tail Low Rider S looks like an awsome bike but also does not look to be aas nimble as the HD Super Low. Not to mention of how darn expensive the Low Ridwr S is.
Florida, so crowded it has become since the mid to late 1960s. I used to think about moving there some day back then. But not any longer since it has become so densely populated and developed. As well as expensive compared to what it once was. It is also a boring State to ride a motorcycle in. And quite a bit dangerous with all the traffic now clogging up the roads. Anyway ... ;-)
Love the harley reviews!!!
That bike has some serious power, I bet it's an adrenaline rush riding it
i just went to apply for a rider academy in our harley dealership. walked out with a new low rider s. i do not knownif i made the right choice.
If you have no skills, you certainly didn't make the best choice. Now if you put the bike in the garage until you pass the beginner course with ease, and the bikes felt like toys, then you'd be ready to learn and practice the techniques I show in my Ride Like a Pro video. And when you can run thru each exercise in that video with ease, and if you ride ultra defensively, you'd be ready to ride in light traffic. ridelikeapro.com
@@motorman857 For now I can just do straights and I need to waddle to turn so embarrassing in traffic. I do ride a scooter so getting used to a harley would take time. I am ordering your course so I can practice proper techniques. I love the low rider s though even if I can't make a turn without waddling hahaha.
Watching this in northern NJ at 23deg and snow on the ground, I wonder why am I torturing myself....
She's a beaut.
What about the fact that Harley did away with all that exspensive chrome but reduce the price.
9" risers and quarter fairing.
new "oil cooked system"...haha its 2020...
