I got one last Friday. I love it, but there are a few negatives. The most annoying is the gas tank, the actual one. The cap is under the seat. The seat requires the key to open up. The lock is on the left, and so is the hinge for the seat. You unlock the seat and lift it towards you. Annoying. When you get the seat up, you end up leaning over the bike to grab the fuel hose, if you didn't walk around the bike. If you reach over the bike to fuel up, you have to hold the hose away from the exhaust. It's not something I expected to see brought up in this review, and I think it's something potential buyers should know. Now, it's light, flickable, quick but stable. It's ONLY 975cc, but that 90 HP is nice!

I'm a diehard old school air cooled fan, I own an EVO Sportster and am going to be restoring and EVO Softail Heritage. The EVO engine has so much personality and attitude, and is as reliable as an Amish sawmill. I'm afraid that some of that has been lost in the new RevMax, however I understand that it was time for an update. I love the Indian Scout and am excited to compare it to the new Nightster, as they are both DOHC liquid cooled twins. I really hope this bike is a smash hit for HD and am really excited to see what people do with theirs!

The Revo out of the VRSC was the most reliable powertrain Harley ever produced. I'd expect similar out of the Revmax.
@candiedorangepiggy3281 2 жыл бұрын
I’ve had two air cooled Harley’s, and now have the sportster S. I was pretty distraught at first, because I thought the revmax had absolutely no soul or personality- but I was wrong. It’s a subtle personality, but you’ll find it if you give it some time, patience, and keep an open mind. It’s such a good engine, and the different modes make it feel like three separate bikes.

Get a 1 1/8” sheet metal drill and run it into the outlet end of the mufflers (remove it first). Just drill through the plate in the middle, not the cat. Sounds pretty good but not too loud, runs better on top, and it’s almost free. Once I added an Arlen Ness big sucker and a tuner, HOLEY CRAP! Like a different bike, and don’t need earplugs.

HI Blockhead. Thank you for the videos. I always enjoy them and have learn a great deal. I have not had a motorcycle in 45 years. I am now 66 and interested in getting back into the hobby. I did some up front work and contacted Harley Davidson for an insurance quote. What a shock $6,992.56 a year. Tried Geico. They were only $4796.76 a year. Apparently, living in Los Angeles is not a good idea when it comes to motorcycle insurance. I found a used 2021 Harley sport glide at a local dealer. Its mileage is 5210 and they want $22,000 for it before Title, tax, and other charges. Looked up the original msrp for a 2021 Sport Glide. It was $18,830 and this bike is used. Looks like I am going to have to settle for the kind of bike one pedals. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.

Move to PA brotha Harley insures me for $175 per year full coverage 2021 Sportster S. I'm 62 no accidents or speeding tickets, HOG member, and needed another insurance company quote to get that rate. The dealer hooked me up when I purchased the bike in Feb.

The best thing about KZfaq is seeing the same ride from different angles, but Blockhead gives you a bunch of them in one video! Finally, Harley-Davidson makes the Sportster what it should be - the gateway to The Modern Motor, ripe for customization but fun right out of the box. Classically styled and familiar to the touch, but unmistakably modern. Quiet enough to slip past anyone looking for a Sportster at cruise, but with a rewarding tone that lets you know this metric beast is a product of Milwaukee and down to clown as soon as you crack the throttle. A letter to all the companies that make "Sportster killers" that says: --- Dear Sirs, We're not mad, just disappointed. We'll be keeping this spot, but thanks so much for playing! With love, Harley-Davidson --- And burns a strip in front of their headquarters after they deliver the letter!

If I remember correctly last Nightster was 1200cc and could be had for circa $9K. Granted, it didn't have riding modes and was a bit heavier. But it was an evolution, simple and fairly reliable. Super customizable and who needs riding modes on frggin' cruiser anyway? This one looks good, if you can get past humongous exhaust and radiator hanging in front. But the worst part is the price. $15K? Really?

Ducati Monster, a whole slew of Triumph Bonnie’s, street triple. Even one of the Indian Scouts.

I'm a fan of the RevMax, but my only thing with that is...who wants to rev a tourer to the moon? A light bike you can throw around all day and are comfortable ripping around on, absolutely. A touring bike made for going in a straight line all day comfortably? That's where having the torque and powerband of a traditional Harley V-twin really shines. I think a bigger variation of the RevMax would work really well in the smaller Softail line (Standard, Slim, Street Bob, Fat Bob, Low Rider,) but the Fat Boy, Heritage, and the tourers are used for an entirely different purpose that might make having a really high revving engine with less of that grunt a little exhausting. It's not as if the M8 is really all that anemic up top like the Evos, either.

@@KevinButler816 I know. And that "low-mid range" version of the RevMax still doesn't have the low-end grunt of an Evo, which is my point. On a tiny application like a Sportster it doesn't matter, but on an 800+lb bagger it unequivocally does. You want that immediate torque and feel as soon as you pull the throttle in the 1500-2500 range, no amount of variable valve timing in a DOHC V-twin is going to give you that and for the third time, nobody wants to run baggers where the power doesn't come on until 5k, which is the case even in the S's RevMax.

Great video! I like the bike aesthetic wise. Power wise, looks fun. Close to some naked bikes with numbers, maybe naked's have a little less torque but have the weight advantage afcourse but still looks fun!
