Thank you for watching! It seems I might be heading the same road. Definitely road trips on this bike. Congratulations on the Yamaha V-Star 950. Awesome looking bike. Thanks again and ride safe!

Thanks Broddah! You’re welcome anytime bro 🤙🏾

Thank you for watching! Overall this bike is more like a heritage bike. It rides like the old fashioned way very rough and you have to counter steer the bike more than leaning it. Yes it's windy as hell on the freeways and highways but during the day it's manageable. At night, it's super windy. But it definitely puts a smile on my face.The rear shocks are adjustable I just found out and you can do the pre-load yourself based on the dots on the shock. The shock ring key is under the seat so you can set it to your weight based on the manual. That really helped with the bumps. It's still there but not as bumpy. This bike is more for like a neighborhood easy Sunday ride or commuter bike. Plus, people always gives compliments since majority of non riders know the Harley brand. Gas tank is small as it only gives you about 80 miles full tank but that's the style of the 48 when it comes to heritage. I didn't get to ride the custom version but I'm planning to do some mods later on this bike. Each of my bikes are fun in their own ways. The R3 to me is probably going to be my track only bike since I go to the tracks more often and I can really ride safer on the track at higher speeds.The XT250 to me is really a dirt bike that just happens to be street legal. I love the XT250 but I just don't do enough dirt so I might end up trading it in for a Supermoto. Overall I think for me the Harley would be my only street bike and my other bikes for track only. The MT-07 is till something I would consider getting or the XSR700 so we'll see if I can get a used one for cheap, I would definitely get an MT-07 for a 1 bike that can do it all for street, track, long distance. But if you're short like me and want a really easy bike to ride around town and you don't need to go fast, definitely look into a Harley Sportster or the Yamaha Bolt. Hope that helps and thank you again for subscribing. Ride safe!

@@play1films Thank you so much for your thorough reply. Btw, I am 6 feet 210 lbs so I don’t know if any of these bikes would be comfortable now that I think about it?

@@dry509 any of the sportsters from Harley would be fine for your size. My buddy is 6’3” 240 and rides a Sportster 48 as well. Definitely test ride at your local Harley they’re pretty cool with you test riding. If you want something with a bigger gas tank and a better engine with 6 gears and liquid cooled I’d suggest the Harley Low Rider. 5 gallon tank and it comes with rear passenger seat and pegs and that Milwaukee 8 engine is so smooth. You can also adjust the rear shock manually. My 48 didn’t. So definitely test ride. If you’re not happy with Harley then I would suggest the MT-07. Sounds really good when you put a slip on exhaust and rides just as comfy like the XT250 but more power. And it looks better than than Kawi z650, Suzuki SV650, and Honda CB650r. You can get them cheap used too and more than enough power for your size.

@@play1films Thank you for the suggestions. Good stuff.

Thank you for watching! Just been working a lot from home lately and not a lot of riding. But I’m glad I got the Harley Sportster 48 and definitely perfect for cruising and around town bike.
