A real biker doesn't care wht brand....we are way past ww2 we shud be able to ride any cruiser or sport bike....it shud be who u are and how u ride 💯

My father was an owner and mechanic of a Harley Dealership in Canada! He was one of the best Haley mechanics in North America at the time. He was also Canadian Champ in Dirt Track racing , ride BSA and the XR750 and he loves the Sportster, he’s 5’6” and weighed 150lbs back in the day. You are right about getting the right size for your own body size.

So I’ve been riding since 1968 and it went like this; Yamaha 175 Enduro 350 Honda, 450 Honda, 500 Honda four-cylinder, Honda CB 650, Harley Sportster, Harley Superglide, and now at the ripe old age of 70 I’m on a highly modded Indian scout. When you’re ready for that big bike, the Ghost’s instructions are spot on!

I’m 6’4, my first bike was a 2001 Ultra Classic. I’m on my 2nd bike now, Road Glide. I’ve been on nothing but baggers, in the 6yrs I been riding.

Currently I ride a 1995 Fat Boy. My first Harley was a 57 sportster xlch that I bought as a basket case and built it from the ground up.

My first Harley 2004 sportster👍 My new Harley 2023 road glide ✌️✌️

I ride an ‘02 Road King. In ‘85 my first bike was a Honda Rebel 250. If I didn’t have decades of experience under my belt the Road King would have been too much.

I drove a Kawasaki Ninja for a few years. Recently I bought a Road king! And I absolutely LOVE it! It’s so comfortable, I couldn’t believe it. 😁👑

06 Sportster 1200 Custom was my first Harley (and still have it) currently ride a 2016 Fatboy Low 🤘

My first bike was a 02 Honda Shadow Saber, but now I ride a 04 Harley Road King and I love my Road King

Harley-Davidson Trike FREEWHEELER

I’m a little dude (5’8” 165) I learned on my Dad’s 99 Suzuki Intruder which was perfect at the time . About a year into it, I wanted a Harley. I wanted something that could go long stretches or short rides around town. I found a 2009 Dyna Fatbob and I love it! This has been the perfect bike for me! It’s big enough for the highway and small enough to go for a quick rip.

I bought my first motorcycle 2 years ago at Yankee Harley. At 5’8” and 160lbs I ended up getting a 2016 dyna low rider with a stage 2 and still have it and enjoy it today.

I have a 2014 Fat Boy Lo..I absolutely love it!!! this is my second one.

My first bike was a Yamaha 100 Enduro, i was 13 yrs old, I had great times on that bike.🎉🎉🎉

I bought a 2023 street bob. I love it👍🏻

2018 Indian Chief Darkhorse. Love the black smoke paint , skirted front fender. Well balanced and loads of torque. Indian cut some corners on a few things but they are an easy fix. I get a lot of compliments on it.

Bought my first bike last November, 1998 Electra Glide. Bought it just in time to ride a couple times and put it away. I've been going for rides and going to the big school parking lot working on slow maneuvering and u-turns . Right now working on switching out the halogen bulbs for leds. Your videos are awesome, Sose. Great editing add content. #ghostin

I live in the UK and until recently I have been on a learner licence so was restricted to a 125cc. Now I have passed my test I ride a 2004 Harley Davidson sportster XL1200R and I absolutely love it. I am also a club member. (I'm in a support MCC for a 1% club won't disclose names) I have been around clubs for most of my Life. Love your content. Keep doing what you do

Seasoned Rider of 4 years. 2016 Dyna Low Rider S. ⚡️

My first bike was a 2005 Anniversary Fatboy. for being 6'1 it wasn't a bad ride. Still have it to this day.

I bought a 2023 Road Glide ST, Black and Bronze Color for 35.4K brand new. Changed the Front Lights, Turn Signal Lights (front and rear), Seat, Crashbars, Windscreen, Pipes, Derby Cover, Timing Cover Tank, Rims, and stereo system. Added the Hand Guards, Sissy Bar, and Luggage Rack, and Chin Spoiler.

I finally picked up my dream bike a few weeks ago, its the EXACT build I wanted. 2007 Softail Heritage with dual fishtails, ape hangers, bags, and every piece of chrome imaginable. Won't need to dump money on aesthetics, just maintenance. Took me 3 years to get there, started off on a Suzuki 650 for two years then got a 1200 Sportster for a year as my first Harley. That thing was beat the f up when I got it and traded it in for the Softail. I followed your advice without even knowing it, it did take me a week to get used to it but now im good. Great video for anyone considering a Harley.

I personally believe Road Glides and Road Kings are the best Harley's out of the ones I've ridden

Im 36yo my dads got a nice road king hes rode his whole life ive never rode a bike when i was a kid he wouldn't let me have mini bikes dirt bikes 4-wheelers not even a gocart he said id get hurt lol but i always wanted to get a motorcycle im thinking about getting one sometime maybe in the next year my nerves and anxiety is just really bad so im not to sure about it cause im almost 40 and only rode my dads old 1100 Honda Shadow ACE 50yrds down the street and back i hit 2nd gear thats it lol 😹

I bought a 2023 street glide special. Its my first bike im 6,4 350lbs and i love the bike

I just watched your Sose The Ghost video about being the new guy in a MC and I really appreciate that you said not to put other people down about what kind of bike they ride or like. I'd like to hear you talk about why people or certain MCs will put people down if they don't ride a Harley Davidson. I don't make a lot of money and I got a family to take care of, and I have to be careful about how I spend my money, I'm brand new to motorcycles and I bought an 82 Honda CB900C for $1200 which is a cruiser style bike with a 4 cylinder engine. I'm a big dude at 6'5 and 270 pounds and that Honda fits me perfectly and I love riding, but when I want to talk to people I work with that ride, they only want to jab at me because it's not a Harley and that sucks.

You should do the best cruiser bikes for beginners 👍 3-5k

My first road bike was a 1970 Honda 750. Purchased in 1998. Dirt bikes before that.

My first Harley is a 2023 road king special love it!! Am 5’8 170lbs.

Started riding at 9 yrs old on the little mini bikes , then a Suzuki Trail Hopper 50 cc , then Yamaha 80 cc . And from there 125's and 250's . My first road bike was a 1971 Triumph TR650 . Had two Suzuki GL 550's . And then a Honda Nighthawk 700S ,,, last bike for quite a while . Then I got a Honda Valkyrie Interstate and had it 4 yrs and now I have a 2012 Harley Davidson Road King with a 103 Twin Cam that I picked up in September of 2023 with 5300 miles on it . Couldn't be happier . I like the simplicity of the Road Kings and it feels great and handles good .

I got my my first bike back in high school, me and a couple of my friends used to buy bikes from insurance companies, fix em and flip them. Those were all sport bikes. After I got married and had my first daughter, I gave up riding, and now, sixteen years later I got back into riding, got 89 softail custom and just recently got 21 ultra limited for long distance rides. That 89, is the one I love the most, them older bikes have a personality that newer ones don't. Stay safe out there, God bless!

I’m 5 foot 9 inches and weigh about 260. I started on a 2017 HARLEY-DAVIDSON ROADSTER that I turned into a cafe racer. It was a fun bike but I looked way too big for it. I now ride a 2021 Road King Special and love it. I definitely think it was better starting on a smaller bike before picking up the heavier road king so I could learn how to handle it better and build my confidence up. It’s all about what makes you feel comfortable.

My first bike was a 1997 Suzuki TL1000S, I wrecked in '13. Last year I bought a 97 Honda Valkyrie. Wifey wanted no more sport bikes. Just 2 weeks ago Bought a 2012 HD Ultra Classic. After being on a few rides with coworkers who have Touring bikes, I realized that I wanted hard bags, fairing, music capabilities and cruise control for those loger trips, I bought my Ultra. I also couldn't pass up the price for bike. I paid 8500, it had 29k on the odometer. I've put 500+ miles on her, and am getting more and more comfortable with every ride. I am really enjoying this bike.

My first bike was a Honda xr75 70`s, owned multiple Harleys 1200 sporster with stroker motor but my true love is the Suzuki 650dr. I really do like your channel even though I am an old (58 yrs.) dualsport enthusiast that loves the single track.

05 HD Sportster 1200. Bought it cheap and got the hands dirty to get her back out there. Fell in love with the work as much as the ride. 🤘🏻

My first Harley was a sportster now I got the softail standard with a 2-1 and a cam and I love it.

My first bike was a Solex, (a bicycle that had a 49cc two stroke motor mounted to the triple tree that could be unhooked and placed on the front tire to start and motorized assist), fast forward ten years to 1978 when I bought my first Harley, a 1976 FLH. I still own that bagger. She doesn't have enough power to get out of her own way but nostalgia keeps her around. (That and understanding parents that let me park in their garage while I was off doing whatever I was doing for prolonged periods of time)

Great advice. I started on a Fat Boy because I was too short for the sportster and I liked the curves. Lowered it to help me park but I road it well. The only thing missing was music and cargo. So I moved to a lowered Street Glide and road those for +14 years. Circumstances being what they were, near the end, I had to part ways. In a better position, I wanted to get another Street Glide but, then (unrelated) I got hurt. During my recovery years later, I purchased and tried to get back on a Street Glide but it wasn't happening. I just couldn't hold it up anymore in my current condition. I was devastated. My desire and short sightedness led me to the wrong decision. Upon going to the dealership to try and figure our what to do, my current Tri Glide had just been off loaded from the truck and was still in the crate. It spoke to me, met all my requirements, allowed me to get back on the road and I fell in love with it. It's why I created just a few videos to share my experiences and hopefully help other disabled riders get back to riding. I will always have a desire and passion for 2 wheels but for now, I'm out there doing what I love.

To be honest I'm 6'4 280 and I have owned 5 bikes in my life to this point at 55 3 Harley's 2 Honda's still have 1 of each a 95 Goldwing and a 05 super glide and I have to say the super glide being on the smaller side it is my favorite bike to date for any riding style I choose the Goldwing just sits and gets rode around the block couple times a year but the dyna I just can't get enough of the smiles it puts on my face when I twist the throttle keep up the great vids brother.

1st bike2009 Sportster 1200 custom. Went to a Switchback, Cam Am Spyder RT. Now on a 2019 Street Glide Special 114. Been riding for 15 years, most with a military and first responder support group. Keep up the great work Sose.

I’m almost 53. I’m in my 3rd season of riding. I got my first bike in 2021, and it was a brand new Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black. I had it for a year, before I traded it in for my first Harley. It is the bike I currently have, a 2019 Street Bob. It has a stage 1, and forward controls. I plan on getting a Stage 2 once this season is over. I used to be a bigger dude, about 280lbs, but got the diabetes, and lost a lot of weight. I’m now 6’2”, and about 190lbs.

I’m a new rider (since last fall) riding a 2023 Softail Standard. It’s a bigger bike, but nice low profile and I’m absolutely loving it. I worried it might be a bit much at first, but absolutely no regrets now. And it looks fantastic.

My first HD was a Fat Bob. Now I ride a 2023 Road Glide. Absolutely love her!

Good video! #ghostin on an FXST and lovin' it.

Bought my first bike a little over a month ago. It's a 2014 Triumph rocket III. It's a badass ride and I've been loving every second of it.

I’m 6’4 285 lbs…..I started out on a Heritage Softail….I loved that bike but wanted a little more storage and honestly a few more creature comforts, so I went with a road guide, which I ended up trading in on my current bike a ‘23 Street Glide and I absolutely LOVE it!

I've been riding since I was 18. 25 now, I've rode everything from 1k rockets, to road glides, to sportsters. Being a gear head I now daily a hopped up sportster. It has a 1275 hammer kit, n4 cams, and comfort items like a saddleman seat, forward controls and tbars. Thanks to the weight, and the fact that my upgrades are pushing about 110ish hp I'm able to keep up with members I ride with and our local clubs when we do rides together. I think it's worth mentioning to not be nervous about buying a "smaller" bike and hopping it up to something more fun and something people wouldn't expect to see out of it.

I’m glad you made this video I’m in the process of getting my first bike

my first dirt bike was a 1970 Yamaha 80 when I was 13. first streetbike was a 79 CB750k back in 83. First HD was a used 883 Sporty. Current and probably last bike is a 2021 Steet Bob and I agree, the soft tail is awesome! I love mine.

My first street legal bike was a 1974 Suzuki Ranger 185 2-stroke, loved that bike lol Harley never offered anything of interst to myself as a Honda fan. I sat on a 2024 Sportster RH975S and really loved the vibe, love how it don't sound like a Harley. The radiator is familiar and I love how it opens up to near 10k rpms. All my riding is backroads and 50 mile max stints on the interstate. It loves them both. Still didn't trade my Honda CB in on it but I'm enjoying it so far.

I got a 2018 Ultra Limited and love it. I've been riding for almost 20 yrs now, and my first Harley was a 2010 Heritage Softail. Started on a 2003 Yamaha YZF600, I was into sport bikes at first, then due to my employment, I was having issues with my hands and wrists as a machinist and needed to get on something less stressful.

Making plans to get a Triumph Rocket 3 R. Took your advice and tried it out at the dealership and I love it. Probably might get a touring package though

My favorite subject! Advice I was given but didn’t listen to was buy a used metric if you’re learning. It’ll save a lot of money while you learn what’s right for you or if riding isn’t. I don’t know but doubt using a metric as a starter is an option in an outlaw club. And I think you’re the first person I’ve seen point out if you can afford it, you’ll save a lot buying the options you want rather than doing it later. My first was a new Honda shadow 650. 6 months later I ate the cost and bought a 1600 Kawasaki

6'4 " 275 . First bike, and i still own it , Road Glide vivid black. It fits my size.

All my riding buddies ride Harleys but I just bought an Indian chief today. I absolutely love it. I feel that connection you were talking about with it. Gorgeous bike too

My first bike was a 650 Yamaha special. I currently ride a 2002 Haratage soft tail. Love it.

I'm in the UK, been on bikes as soon as I could reach the controls. I had a harley dyna very briefly, loved the looks but on uk roads it was a wrestling match the whole way. I couldn't understand the hype until I visited the USA, man you have different roads to us! I finally got it! Arrow straight roads and most turns being 90degree makes more sense. Now I'm on a honda nc750x and a benelli 750sei for special occasions

1989 was my first Harley, 81 shovel low rider with a kicker, learned tons working on that bike, still have it, along with 94 FXSTC I got in 2000 and 2 road glides and a buell X b9r

I bought a 117 low rider S 2023. Love that bike. My first Harley I bought. I can take it on the highway for long distances and take in the country roads and let it rip through twists and turns. I am 5’10 and 250lbs. Great for me

I’m 5’6 and when I bought my first Harley it was an 883 way back in 88. I only weighed about 130. Now I have an 23 Indian Chieftain Darkhorse 116. Love it and gonna keep this one

Just started riding 5'11 240 and riding a 17 Fatboy S. Love this bike just the perfect mixture of size and power.

I have a 2018 Iron 1200 and a 2022 Heritage Classic. I'm 70 and have been riding for over 50 years. I traded in a 2017 Street Glide for my Heritage. My second bike was a brand new 1977 sportster right off the show room floor. I went through 3 starters in first year on this bike.

I first saw the 883 iron. Blacked out. Looked small n wimpy. I got excited at first sight. First Harley. Bought it used, lookin so close to what i wanted. Got her home and started wrenchin. I tell ya, this has been such a fun project for me! Soooo many custom parts. In 2 months, that bike looks NOTHING like it did from the shop! Fork extensions, 10"bars, drag pipes, stage 1 intake, lowering kit, tank lift, coil relocation, bobber rear fender. All in my front yard. Just got it home from the shop with a 1200 bore kit, cams, tuner and performance clutch. Total spent including the original purchase of the bike, just over $10000. Worth every penny! Excellent video sose! #Ghostin on Maui 💪😈

My firt bike was a ts100 enduro when i was 12. Currently riding a softail blackline. I like the stripped down, no fairings, no frills, chopper looking bike. Similar to a softail slim, just without fat tires.

this is a great video..Im 6ft 230, just got my first Harley..2016 VRod Muscle, heaven on my back compared to my GSXR and love the ride

My first bike was an '05 Softail Standard that I converted into a trike on my own so I could get in the wind despite being born with one leg. The bike I ride now is a '97 California Motorcycle Company "Rocket" that I was able to use the axle and swingarm from the Softail to make a trike once again. I really enjoyed riding the Softail but I love the Rocket, it's a badass machine.

This brings back some memories; 1st bike was a sportster 1200. It was what was affordable at the time, broke my heart initially but change out the bars & foot controls & she's all good. Still have it along with a night train.

Started on an 07’ Suzuki boulevard c90 at 16 years old. At 20, gave the bike back to my dad and started riding an 06’ Kawasaki Vulcan 900. Just bought my first Harley at 29, it’s a 2023 heritage softail 114. Loved the torque of the boulevard, but I loved the lean angle of the Vulcan more. I could really throw that bike around. Only downfall to my heritage softail is the lower lean angle. In a way I think of it as a reason to smarten up a little, haha. Almost went with the low rider ST, but the heritage softail is my dream bike. Has been since I was 20 years old, my first trip to Sturgis bike week and test rode one.

I learned to ride on a little Suzuki Katana about 18 years ago. My first bike was a Honda VTX 1800. Second bike was a 2005 Hayabusa, which I still have. My current love is a 2013 Custom Fat Boy Lo, blacked out, with air ride suspension. I'm looking forward to adding my personal touches to it, which won't be much. My husband has a 2010 Electra Glide and we love getting out on the road.

Awesome topic! Im still saving up for my first HD, don’t know as of yet what to get though. I appreciate you Sose! #ghostin

Thanks for this, I’ve never been in a Harley before and had limited experience on dirt bikes so this helps

Great content, Ghost! You should do a riding review of your bike, not only it looks amazing, but I'm also curious on how a 6'2 guy like myself would do on it.

I’m 5’11” and 155. I went with a 2021 Iron 883 and I love it. Can’t believe Harley stopped making them.

Really enjoyed the video and I'm a prime candidate to comment. I just bought my first Harley yesterday after 50 years of riding Hondas. My last Honda was a 1996 Magna and I honestly loved the bike but it was having more and more problems. It left me stranded at a gas station Sunday morning and that was the last straw. I'd been thinking about finally getting a Harley for awhile. I'd even sat on a couple and immediately knew they weren't right for me. I'm 5-10 and around 145 lbs. and 76 years old, so I was looking for something smaller and lighter. I pulled up a 2013 Sportster XL1200 Custom at a dealership and it felt perfect. Not too big, not too heavy, great lines, a 4.5 gallon gas tank. The clutch and brake levers were perfect, the seat was even comfortable. My first real ride where I wasn't stuck in stop and go traffic was this morning and I thoroughly enjoyed it. No buyer's remorse for this guy. It will rattle your teeth sitting at a red light, but that smooths out and disappears when you get up a little speed. It's a great ride at 65 mph. The smaller size and weight make it nimble in the corners and the handling overall is beginner-easy. I think I got the right first Harley for my size and strength, which is not even close to what it was even 20 years ago, and I'm really comfortable with every aspect of this bike. Would definitely recommend the Sportster XL1200 for riders about my size and previous experience on metric cycles.

You should cover more motorcycle brands. Found this video very helpful in choosing which bike to get

I had a Honda XL70 growing up. When I was 20 or so I test road a Low Rider. I wasn't sure I could afford it so I passed. I wanted a Road King and I finally was lucky enough to purchase a new 2001 Road King Standard fall of 2000. I still have that bike and love it.

AUSSIE 63, First ride, Honda 250 dirt, went through Kawasaki from 400, 500(two pot), 650 (SE), two 900s & 1000z. First HD and still is 2012 Fat-Bob Dyna. Beautiful. Good message StheG should have tricked it up when i got it, cheers

That head turn is real. I've saved many turns when I was starting by just adjusting where I was looking. Body follows and you can make it through the turn. Just upgraded to a 2015 Road King 103, from an 07 Dyna Wide Glide. still love both.. paid 13,500 but she was a garage princess before I got her, only 2300 on it when I picked her up. Already stage 1 and tuned with a full Rinehart exhaust and SE intake with stage 1 tune. Bars are a little wider than I like looking to get some 16 inch narrow apes eventually

My first bike was a 1983 yamaha xt200. Fun little dual sport, I currently ride a 2005 yamaha road star 1700. Looking forward to my first Harley, it'll come when the time is right.

My first new H-D was a 2016 Slim S black. Was going to purchase a deluxe, but when I saw the Slim I was sold🖤 They say you don’t pick the bike the bike picks you! lol 8 years later still put big smile to my face every time I take her out!!

First was Honda mini trail. Moved through Yamahas 100 enduro, a couple of XS650's, A Maxim 700. The I got my first Harley. 2010 Fatbob. Love it. Solid ride.

My first bike was a Virgo. My first Harley was my 84FXRT that I got from my brother in law. It's the only Harley my nephew ever rode before he passed in his wreck. But when I was riding with my wife I rode my Honda Shadow so it was lighter and easier for me to be able to handle. Especially with my back problems.

I just bought my first bike. 2024 Heritage. I love it. I am 6’3” 180 and it is so comfortable to me.

I ride 2010 softail heritage classic. Love how it rides and handles. I'm 5'9" 190lbs. Been riding since I was 12, now I. 64

My first ever was a 2006 wide glide. I got it in December 2005. It was wrecked in 2014. I had just over 60,000 miles on it. Fast foward to today. I now have a 2017 ultra limited. I had it only a month. Already put a thousand miles on it. Planning a camping trip for July and heading up to Ohio.

My first Harley was a Street Bob I road it for a year. I got comfortable riding it then went to a few Demo days and rode quite a few different bikes. I found that was a really good way to figure out what I was most comfortable with. I wanted something bigger to do longer rides on. I liked the Rode King but fell in love with the Heritage Classic. So I traded in the Street Bob and got the Heritage. It is damn close to where I want it to be so all I am really going to do to it is a stage 3 for now.

My 1st Harley was a 2015 FSXB Softail Breakout. Had custom pipes and wiring already done as well as Billet grips and air intake.

My First Harley was a 96 Sportster and I'm still riding them. just the right size and easy to handle and work on, I currently ride an 06 883R

Thanks for the advice man ! I’m 5,8 290 pounds lmao was thinking about an iron 1200 but after watching this I wana get the softail standerd . No riding experience so I was nervous about getting a softail but I think it’ll work out .

My 1st bike was a 1982 Kawasaki LTD 550. First Harley was a 1977 HD FLH Shovelhead. Currently I own a 2007 Road Glide. I bought the RG without even test driving it. I took to it immediately, just as I figured. I’m going on 6 years of owning it and it still runs and rides like a dream.

Started on a sportster. Went into a Heritage Softail. Now on a 2023 Street Glide. The softail, in my opinion, is a great starter. Low seat. Comfortable. Easily customizable. I like my couch on wheels now.

Chopper style softail with big leather bags. Springer front end. Very comfortable on short and long hauls.

I bought a 1974 Honda Shadow lol, then a suzuki boulivard and now a harley ultra limited 2014. beautiful bike going to the west coast and back from Michigan this summer. cant wait

1987 Sportster 883 for my first 2004 Fatboy for my second, but that bike only lasted a month. Sold to me with massive engine problems. Now, a 2004 Super Glide, with plans to keep it forever, with a Road King, Heritage, or Street Glide for my distance bike in the future.

Just got my 1st Harley. 2019 heritage classic 114, somewhat Vicla style, 21/18 inch wire wheels, no saddlebags/windshield. Had a sportbike back in the day (2003 gsxr600).

2003 sportster xl1200c. I got it for $1800, forks 6” over, lowered, cammed. Downside, no front brake set-up, no electrical, except ignition. Going totally old skool with it, currently fabricating an old skool sissy bar. Excellent project.

My first HD (and second bike total) was an 883 Sportster. Great first bike as I was 5’9”, 155 at the time. Now I have a 2013 Electra Glide. I knew my next bike had to have cruise, a stereo and storage for stuff. Going to the grocery store, I can put quite a bit in my hard bags and trunk. I’d say any interstate/freeway driving you want a 1200cc engine or more. Same if you are going to be in an MC, whether 1%’er or a regular club.

I agree, I'm 5'2" and I just got my license. The sportster is my happy place right now. I can definitely say, though, at some point I will want a faster bike.
