Number one your HARLEY...like BEAUTIFUL GIRL...VERY CLEAN...but HOW ABOUT YOUR LADIES...?😂... JUST KIDDING MAN.... CICIHARYATI.

I like how you have other riders on your channel also ride bikes and give there opinion along side yours and you also show peoples totally honest opinion. It’s a genuine channel with real riders thats are different sizes and have different opinions. I really want to thank you for that! I’ve been watching hours and hours of your videos!

Awesome channel. I love all your uploads. Despite you being a dealer and selling Harleys, your reviews are very informative. Keep up the good work!

Really liked the format. Thanks for including David and Scott! David is really articulate and had great thoughts.

Once again u read my mind. Pls continue the comparisons!!! Excellent idea! Especially to all the naysayers. Ur the best man!

i like this format with a few different riders perspective and like always full of information thanks Matt for another awesome video

I loved hearing the feedback from the other riders. A great format.

Love the new format Matt..keep up the awesome and best Harley vids on youtube

Hi Matt, I’ve been waiting for your review of the 2018 Low Rider and it didn’t disappoint. Great idea to put it into context with previous year models. As I have mentioned before, I own a 2013 Dyna Super Glide and am a fan of the pull back style handlebars.

Well done as always. Just saw one of these at the local dealer the other day and I think it's my favorite softail now.

Another excellent review of the new HD line-up. Well done Matt.

Love the new HD Low Rider! format is perfect how you get different opinions on the old and new Low Rider👍🏾

Thanks Matt. Keep going. Your blogs are super informative.

Another great video Matt. You're videos are a great resource. Thanks!

It was a great format to have a couple of other riders (of different stature) give their brief impression. If they're experienced riders it really gives the video credibility and a broader perspective.

Excellent review as usual and such a refreshing thing with the comparisons! The contributions from other people in the staff is a great addition. It gives a more colorful width to the reviews! A little more spit an´shine on the bike there from your brother wouldn´t hurt tho ;) Keep em´coming sir!

Best reviewer. Don't change the style of the reviews. The web info is good and really gives me a complete picture. You are very thorough in your descriptions and extraneous info and anecdotes. The mini reality style shows are also good for a once in a while change. Subbed.

Thank you my friend. I appreciate the feedback.

Great review of the bike...enjoyed hearing the different opinions...thanks for all the information on this bike

I just saw this, as I am looking at a 2018 FXLR at my local shop. It's everything I needed to make my choice. Thanks

I like it Matt, love the throw back pieces and paint scheme on the bike you used for the demo. Still agree with you this is the best platform yet and that's coming from a FXRS owner from way back, bought my 84 new in 86 as a lay over model that got lost in the shuffle (long story)and I ended up with a sweet ride.

Im 5'1" and please suggest me a good model from harley line up. My short listing is as follows Street 750 Forty Eight softail Low rider 2018

Awesome comparison Matt. Hey both Laidlaw grandsons can't go wrong. Thanks

Had an 85 low glide, FXR Custom. My first Harley. Seeing that FXR brought back some memories.

That FXR 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks for all the information on a lowrider and Softails thank you Matt and Scott take care

I found the night riding to be another level in quality for viewers. I was looking at this bike in Md and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Handlebars, Thanks!

awesome review - can’t get better than this - thank you!

Best video yet keep them coming

Hi Matt thanks for your review on the 2018 M8 Lowrider . It certainly helped me make my decision to buy a 2018 M8 107 Low Rider and i love it all the best from the land down under cheers from Australia .

Excellent review. One of my favorite bikes in the new line...

Excellent review and I enjoyed this format. That FXRS is pretty sweet. The generational comparison and perspectives of different riders was great. It seems like this new low rider has a much shorter wheelbase than previous models and is overall a smaller bike.

I sat on this bike yesterday and love how i feel and fit in it the saddle. Im getting one soon. Jumping from sportys finally

Nice, you'll enjoy it more than your Sportster

Like what you produced, and the comments of the other riders!

Ride the FXR hard, it won't break. Progressive suspension fork springs are a must for FXRs, and a better camshaft, especially for California models. Nice review, and good to see the comparisons.

I own a 2020 low rider and I love it. Awesome review sir.

Thanks for the video. I bought this exact bike and I love her.

This was the best review on this bike that I've seen.

Congratulations on 50 k subs matt!!

Great overview of the low rider. I bought this bike in May 2018. I use it as a daily rider. I am going to get a windshield so I can do some longer rides.

Matt, this format was great..

Great Video! Had 5-6 past FXS/FXSB/FXDL/FXBS Low-Riders (78' thru 2005) out of 12 Harleys ~ always my first choice. Rode 45+ years... sadly done now. Agree totally on the bars... the setback risers w/drag bars were Most comfortable ~ at least for me. Reminded me how much I Hated L.A. (and CAL in general!) TOO Much TRAFFIC!! 28 years here now in the Black Hills... Nuff' said.

Fantastic channel. I appreciated your video on the FXLR comparisons to the Dyna’s of old. I’ve owned a few Dyna’s and was on the fence, however I pulled the trigger on a 2019 FXLR and haven’t looked back. The term Softail in my opinion is a misnomer as these bikes are mono shocked Dyna’s. Kudos to the Motor Company... Again, awesome channel.

Just another awesome vid Matt,top work mate ,cheers

Great video guys. My first Harley was a 1984 FXRS, it was a beautiful deep coral blue and silver two tone. Back then people called me a fool as many of my friends were buying the new Honda v-4 sabre's and they were nice, and very fast. I put 80k miles on that bike in 10 yrs and the Hondas were all gone, traded or EOL. I Loved that bike's handling and solid feel, the way it would hold a line in a corner, great bike, great engine. I commuted from Milton Mills to Portsmouth NH every day it was possible to ride it and I ran it a 9/10's the whole way, of mainly interstate, and many times wide open for miles at a time, it never so much as hiccupped. I purchased three more similar bikes (never liked the big heavy baggers), including my current 04 Dyna low rider with an 88 CI fuel injected which is still a shiny as the day I bought it with tons of money in chrome, seat, cams, rear shocks and infinite beauty. I couldn't trade it as I just love the bike, everything about it and I have it customized just so. I did test the new low rider and it was nice but I thought about what it would cost to get it as nice as the one I have and just couldn't let go of the '04. My biggest gripe was the handlebars...what engineer approved those turned back things? My wrist wont even twist that direction to open the throttle fully. The ride was slightly better but Mine does have upgraded 43MM fronts with a cartridge and chrome lowers and progressive Fox shocks on the back which are very compliant over minor imperfections yet never bottom out. And, of course, the stock exhaust is horridly quiet, so number 2, SE slip on's. But still so much more to get to where I am with my current bike to get it just right. Thanks for the video!

Great bike and review, i have wanted this exact same bike for a couple years now, hopefully soon i can make it a reality. I also love your psychedelic rock riff theme song 😂

Got a 2018 low rider delivered the other day love how it sits and feels even stock. With time she'll be my own

Great info, man. I'm thinking about getting this bike. Right now I have a Suzuki M-50, my first bike. I've had it for 11 years. Time to move up.

Great format, works!

Nice looking motorcycle. I had friend that had a 78, but I will keep and ride my 1983 FXWG. It survived Pinatubo so it is my reliable steed.

I wasn't sure about the low rider softail switch but it looks great. Probably the most beautiful tank since they disco'd the k model, I love that HD painted on graphic.

The lowrider reminds me of my old superglide custom loved that bike!

Great review! That bad boy is in dire need of some T-Bars and a 2 into 1 exhaust 🤘🇺🇸

Thanx a lot for this man. I've been asking for this from you, and I love the attention you gave it and multiple opinions from your shop. I'm going to stick with my 2016 FXDL and do my thing with it, but looking forward to the life of this new model. If you can get the SE two into one (so i can put my larger saddle bags on them), additional forward cruise pegs, as well as put in the SE 114 engine and output upgrades, I'll consider these in the future. Thank you again, been really looking forward to this.

Those tank graphics and colors! Yes sir, loving that Low Rider! Yes! AMF! I am typing this as you talked about the graphics. Lol.

I'm 5'8" and I felt cramped with the mid foot controls. Thanks for the review.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the detailed review on the low rider. I was aiming for the Softail Deluxe, which has pretty much been my first choice, but a little higher priced. I definitely love the new frame, suspension & 107, which the low rider has also. I'm about 5'6", so the fit on the low rider may be a better option, although I felt comfortable on the deluxe also. I'm looking to upgrade from my 2000, Sportster 1200 Custom. Been weighing on this for a while and beginning to lose my sanity.

great review

Great reviews. Made me like new Harley's a little more.

well done! thanks Matt!

Excellent video. Really enjoyed it. Would be great to see a side perspective of you on the bike riding.

Like the format of the video

This is a very clean, well put together Harley. You don't see wires or lines all straggled out and not tucked like other brands. On a bike, I want to see the gadgets, clean machined metal and things that make it pop. I applaud Harley for keeping the classic look yet still go for a modern day style. 110 ft lbs considering how Harley is known for low to mid range power should be a blast to ride.

Excellent review. I still love the previous heritage best but, I think that this bike set up like the blue one in the catalog, well, it deserves serious consideration. I guess I need to run over to the local dealer. Buddy Stubbs here I come. I'm 58 years old and 5 foot 8 so it should be a nice fit. Small or medium apes, windshied, bags and a sissy bar with pad and luggage rack. In blue. My new daily ride. Thank you Matt. I like this style video with different inputs. Very cool. And yes, there is a hint of AMF in the logo.

Awsome review

Nice that you used "my newly" bought for this video :) With all the commentary, I can see that it was the right choice.

I know I am late to the party but, this is a great video. Picking one up next weekend.

Good format and rider opinions for sure. It looked like you could adjust the stock bars up quite a bit to make it the geometry a bit better but at least like you say the bars would be are easy to change since it has a standard handle bar clamp.

Best Harley Davidson reviews/videos on KZread .I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that wants to see an all blacked out version for 2019 . They also need to make the 2019 version with inverted forks . Give me those 2 options & I will buy one right on the release date .I am sure others would agree . If they do that I would even trade in my Lowrider S . Matt I hope you can pass this along to the H-D powers that be .

Thanks for all the info i might be getting a low rider based on your info and of couse a seat test at the show room. Im a shorter guy and you point put high issues well

That 107 stock low end torque is right there. I have a 110 2014 and the 107 torque does come on earlier.

Seat "ribbed" for her pleasure! LOL Just kidding. I love all your videos as they are so well crafted, thorough and comprehensive. I know this is for the Low Rider (which I had one back in the late 70's) but currently I have a 2014 Fatbob which I love for many reasons! So much value for the money! Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed the mix up with the other guys giving a bit of review and the night ride! Looking forward to more videos with aftermarket parts on the new bikes. Some of the stock exhausts are so ugly!

Nice review- if I weren't going Road King crazy right now I'd take a serious look at the low rider.

Finally was waiting for htis review. So basically cant have an engine boost on the new softail low rider!!! Comes with only the MILWAUKEE-EIGHT 107. Matt i believe it is still good for long distance cruising especially with the 5gal tank. Perhaps with your hight not so much but for other shorter people its a no brainer!. Cheers

I gotta say Matt, your videos are what is convincing me to buy one of the new M8 Harley's. I currently ride an Indian Scout, and while its nimble and powerful, it feels too small for me and I have been a been wanting something more "Dyna" sized. Great videos

Yes the format was good. I like your standard formats as well. Having driven So Cal freeways for 19yrs. I understand the traffic is complicated. Never rode a bike in that area.

Matt thanks for all the reviews on the 2018 Softail line-up. So far you have made it really hard for me to decide on which bike I am going to buy. One question for you though, are you planning on doing a video on the new Sport Glide?

Love the bike. Great review, I love all of your videos. I always cringe though when you lane split and drive down the wrong side of the road ;-)

Great video

Always good comprehensive reviews. I am curious to see what the MoCo will release in the mid model year. I think the sportster chassis is due for an update. I would love a revised 1200 with better lean angle. I know they have the roadster but the seating position of that bike is uncomfortable for me.

That is definitely one of the best video on KZread, Matt I was wondering if you welling to share what was in the bottle that Scott was using to clean his Bike? Thank you very much for your time

I'm 5'11" and the 018 Lowrider fits great and I would not want the controls any more forward, they are already more forward then a traditional Dyna. Also I like the dual discs on the Dyna like I owned however the dual disc does not give you more stopping power only easier grip to activate them. If anything needs to be changed which people will do straight off is to modify or change the exhaust.

Low rider S still best Dyna.
