Wimbo 9, its where 'Cops' is filmed.

Accel pump ? Also have a 883

it gets old

A Sportster is a woman's bike boi!

🤘

@Derek Frampton aKa 1PaPaD1 yeah and I'm mad because I'm a short dude and that's the only bike I fit comfortably on and can reach the ground with both feet 🤣🤣 Mr.Bitter.....

I think a person has to be pretty insecure to make that kind of statement. They are foolish to think that and to not realize that that says much more about them than they could imagine.

And what's not to love about 60 mpg?

Ive got a sporty and an ultra classic I ride my sporty more it’s just a fun bike to ride

It's kinda the Honda Civic of the motorcycle industry. They are cheap and easy to modify, and if you mess it up nobody cares.

Douglas Williams I heard that up in New Hampshire there’s lots of Sportsters, although I heard that 35 years ago. Had a 1980 XLH.

I have had multiple sportsters. My first was a 99 883 that I had bored and tuned to 1200. I also overtime have worked on a 2001 1200 that my mother owns. I have owned two 2006 1200L sporties with the larger tank. Don’t complain power if judge all XLs as a 883. I have NEVER had a Sporty that leaks

So many parts and they aren't ridiculously priced either . Not just in the looks department either . So many performance parts now it's crazy

Douglas Williams I agree. I have a 1200 custom and I like the bike itself. I don’t own 1 piece of anything that has a Harley logo on it. Except obviously the one on the bike. I’ll ride any bike that’s fun.basic bikes are the best, I’m not into all the bells and whistles.

Jeff somersby the Bible verse has nothing to do with what he said buddy. It’s good to spread the living word. No problem in showing some scripture

If you're on a Harley you already care what people think of you.

​@@GoatyHerps Nope. If you're on Harley you absolutely do NOT care what people think of you.

@@SZrudy - That's like saying people don't buy Mercedes for attention.

Ivan Jetá big facts

Thank you. I appreciate it.

funny my 790 triumph 2001 will do 120 mph ....stock with carbs with my fat ass on it .have the ticket ..wait at 1/2 the cost .

Harley were never known for speed... Torque? Sure. Speed? Not really...

Very true Iven. I have a Honda at 1300 and a nighthawk 750. I commute one hour each way every day in the 1300, but my nighthawk is much nicer in every day riding. I've been considering a Honda 500 also, just about the perfect size and plenty fast enough. While I'm a Honda nut,I love all bikes and remember people buy bikes for lots of different reasons. Just have fun!!

Hummbra

Fully agreed. I do not believe that 'real rider' or users of many other things are even curious about 'KZfaq verdicts'. Those 'reviews' are propably just cheap buzz for bored kids with a little nick for moto, to argue about in the comments, not for riders. I can hardly imagine changing mind about 'what machine I want' because of... of what, some KZfaq moaning of a random person... ? If You like a machine and it works, it obviously is... good for You...

@RepolakMoto some harleys have a lot of power and will still spin the back tire just by giving it gas

@RepolakMoto 😂😂

I’ve been riding my Roadster for 3 months now and I love it, it’s my bike ever and I’ve been having more fun than ever. Couldn’t care less for what others say lol

Jason Phillips I agree 100%, owning a HD doesn't give you the keys to the city and I've been riding HD since 1975. Ride what you have and enjoy it. Rubber side down.

Jason Phillips even a Grom

Even a Honda C90. The way I see it is, 4 wheels moves the body, 2 wheels moves the soul. It doesn't matter what you ride or how you ride it, just as long as it makes you smile. That's all what matters.

Jason Phillips there's no feeling like it eh?

Amen!

Amen!!

MikeRCJ420 sportsters are the best. If you want heated seats and cup holders etc, use your car lol!

MikeRCJ420 My 95 Suzuki VS 800 Intruder has a speedometer and nothing else. A simple carbureted V twin bare bones bike and I love it!!

Unfortunately for the argument, it's not about how easy an engine is to work on. It's about how often it needs to be worked on. Most people buying Harleys or any bikes aren't doing their own work. Dry sump Harleys just have to be ridden and kept clean in a never ending cycle.

Joe danero What about Sportsters leaves you to believe these bikes need more mechanical attention than others? Service intervals are every 5,000 miles and require you to do no more than you would on other bikes. Even the new models with FI and ABS are by no means technically advanced compared to what's being produced in today's motorcycle world and leave little to go wrong that your average guy with minimal tools & a service manual couldn't take care of at home on his day off. Your right that most people don't maintain there own rides anymore, people in my generation are either to lazy or don't care enough to do these things themselves. Personally if I don't feel comfortable working it myself I probably wouldn't own it. Me & many others enjoy the satisfaction of knowing somethings done and its done right. You can say most Harley riders don't maintain they're own ride, and I can agree to an extent especially the older generation, but I certainly wouldn't say it's most of us. The ancient technology used by HD that so many people seam to complain about is exactly why alot of us are drawn to these bikes. They're simple. And before you ask no I'm far from being a Harley fanboi. In fact the Sportster is the only bike HD currently makes that has any appeal to me. As far as dry dump bikes needing to be clean and ridden in a never ending cycle I just don't agree with that. I've seen to many being neglected for years that need nothing more than a little going over, new battery, fresh fluids, tires and a little shot of oil in the cylinders and they fire up and are right back on the road again. My current Sportster is my daily transportation. Its ridden fairly hard and sees whatever weather mother nature throws my way. Coming up on 50k with many more miles to go and when it's time for a topend I'll take a weekend to rebuild and be back at it again. All that being said if I wasn't the type to want to do things myself and depending on Indys and dealers to maintain my ride than I may be on something else. I have no issue with any bikes as long as it's got two wheels it's fine by me. I prefer simplicity but I like & would ride them all.

its a bike that gets you laid

Make sure your Sportster has a pillion seat

Nah just the 883 is a girls bike.The 1200 is pretty good if you like a bike with quick acceleration.My 18 iron 1200 gaps my fathers 17 streetglide everytime in a 1/4 mile run.

I owned one of these girls bike in 2004. It was great for around town riding and did 55-60 just fine, but felt very small and very slow on the Freeway trying to hold 70 mph.

Not so, I'm a boy and i love the twelve hundreds, but i ride them all.

I know you posted this 3yr ago but - my 4th street bike, and first HD, was a 2005 1200 Custom with the Stage 1 Sceamin Eagle kit. I loved that damn bike and I was coming off of a GSXR 750 that was piped, mapped, and regeared (132.5 rwhp). You'd think I would be let down but nah, that bike had some pull. Currently ride twin cam 103ci (that is possibly my "forever bike") but that Sporty did everything I needed 👍

I agree this guy is becoming mcmaster clickbait.

Don't get me wrong I love this channel I love the bikes I love this guy I love the message but he's just better than this click-baiting stuff

Reason why I unsubscribed from this channel. These nonsense titled videos still pop up though.

buy the 883 then get a HAMMER PERFORMANCE 1275 build

Except a new one can be about $13k.

I have an 883 iron sportster. I've road it for years with no problems. It's great in town and on the highway. Its much more fun to ride than my electra glide

That’s me

Just bought one 2 days ago and I love it. Its the first motorcycle I buy ever. I bought it with Vance & Hines and it sounds amazing. Before that, I would secretly use my dads 2016 ultra limited touring Harley. And I say secretly cus I would place it exactly where it was when he would come back home lol. I thought I would really feel the drop in cc or out grow it quickly but anctually it feels just great, and i dont think i will outgrow it or get bored of it any time soon.

I was curious about you as I just saw this comment and not a single other soul responded after 2 years. First off, how are you doing? Second, did you ever get back on a scoot? Thirdly, doesnt it just kick you in the nuts to watch something you enjoy get drug away from you because of this shit we call life?

@@johnwirk yeah I was wondering why there weren't any comments either

Really happy you beat the cancer brother. Hope you are riding what you love now. Enjoy the ride.

I hope you are beating it brother

Hey dude I just saw this and it's 3 years later. I wanted to say congratulations on beating cancer. That is really awesome. I hope you found another bike you love. Keep riding and stay strong.

Jon Bailey agreed I'm 6'2" 280. It o ly makes sense to short guys when they see tall riders on a 1200

The 1200 is a great bike. Plenty of power in a light package. The 883, nah.

Keep seeing a fair few modded sportsters these days, 883 converted to 1200-1250cc pushing anywhere from 85-126 horses hitting 90-98 on the torque and more importantly 40kgs less then say a fxdb (stock) that's the beauty of the evo, just cause it's an 883 doesn't mean it always has to be.

It's a girl bike!

Well that's just clear bullshit.

Evel rode an XR750, not a Sportster

Evel didn't jump a sportster. He used xr750's

good choice :)

Should be a good one

Me too 🤗

was mine, and a good choice

DO NOT GET THE 883 ! 1200 ALL DAY LONG !!!

you'll never ride that pos again as soon as you buy a dyna lol

@@johnwiz4460 Bite me. Dynas suck!

I'm buying my dad's sportster now and we are keeping it in the family. It is one of the nicest bikes I've ridden. We have it around 1400ccs now so it scoots pretty good and I keep up with his 1800 Harley just fine. Keep the Sportster and if you get something bigger, teach your kids to ride on it. They'll love it and you know the bike is safe and easy to handle

Good one!

Electric Jug Band you tell him electric jug is a Gomer

It's a nightster because he sleepin on the Harley haters.

They bearded girl make's a lot mistakes.

Exactly a Nightster is a 1200

That's what I thought too. I was confused. My bike is a Nightster 1200. Always thought the 883 was the Iron. Lol

Jim Mansi I love the shaking and vibration

Daniel Ney actually I do too, I've learned to embrace it because it's such a good bike the vibes don't even bother me. I've ridden newer models & yeah they're smooth with fuel injection but they're top heavy & nowhere near as good as the bikes made in the 90's. I'm a Sportser fanatic & do like all of them, I just prefer the older ones

You ride so hard without any issue because you ride from tavern to tavern

Have you owned it since new? Have you put much mileage on it? If you've put 1000 trouble free miles on it, who cares! If you've put 50,000 trouble free miles on it, that's a little different.

How many miles?

A lot of people feel that way. It’s strange

@@Srkcycles very strange

@@Srkcycles LOL. Not strange. Try Stupid AF.

I liked how he would straighten out a bent fork after a crash with a rock.

dave phillips That show made me want a Sportsters when I was a teenager in the late 60s. Finally bought one new in 1980. Classic candy apple red.

You sound like you are 14

People who ride bigger Harleys to project their "manliness" have Little Dick Syndrome. 😂🤦‍♂

Bye felicia

Bye snowflake

love my sportster in the corners and long curving roads

no im just trying to give both sides, if you like this ... then its a good bike, but if this is your goal... then maybe its not for you

Harold Steele you tell him Harold

No u don't Dumb ass it has a hazards button on it lol

He is not doing a review so to speak.....he is selling it.

My sportster you press the left and right signals at the same time to turn on and off hazards

my 48 you turn them on and off with the engine start switch by pressing up.

That’s awesome sportsters are great bikes. What kind did you buy ?

I bought 2019 iron 883, I know is not a powerful Harley, but is so simple, comfortable and handy that is just great.

I have a ‘15 883N with V&H Competition Racing exhaust. The bike in this video sounds like a sewing machine. Mine sounds like a motorcycle.

You got the Mississippi Queen right there.

Mines 2009 and also as that

When you like her attitude, you better change your name in Dustin GAY. 🤣

Still can't beat a yamaha 650. 🤣🤣

Terry Poff, I agree, with my XL1200, tuned, SS filter, and Vance Pipes it is a little peppy. Fast enough to feel good, it is no SoftTail Slim S with the SE110 but I have the handle bars... When I close my eyes I picture the OD Green one with the star on the tank. Feels like I am about to ride into battle back in 1945...

Dj Gilbert , I wont race a Yam650 because we will have to speed faster than the posted limit. But the cool thing is I have a Harley...😂

Ssg, the cool thing is WE have motorcycles.

Sportsters also have a lot a potential for hot rodding.

I’m really close between a Vulcan 900 custom or v star 1100 Harvey’s are cool but way to high a friend at works been riding bikes a long time said I should get a v star 1100 I’m fresh 30 never got a motor cycle because of my ex. My heads killing me between getting a 690 starter bike or 900 plus. Everyone says get a bigger bike or you’ll regret it sooner than later I really dig the Vulcan though

Yeah, old school, I love mine too. I've had it for over twenty years and will never sell it.
