The Sportster S demonstrators are now available at your Harley-Davidson dealer
The first Sportster S models are now being presented at Harley-Davidson dealerships.
Everything is delayed this year at Harley-Davidson, but better late than never!
The Harley-Davidson Sportster S iis now in delivery mode despite the adverse circumstances, the demonstrators will be delivered to the dealers first and the first Sportster S Models to be delivered to the first customers.
The Harley-Davidson registration statistics would certainly benefit from a few newly registered Harleys, but the year is over anyway and next year's registration is more advantageous for the customer. The Pan America is also available for test rides at authorized dealers.
Revolution Max means pure performance!
The new Revolution Max Motor appeals to a whole new clientele, we have only seen this much Harley power in the tuned models. A pumped-up 131cui Milwaukee-Eight the Revolution Max doesn't come close, but it almost does. The Pan America in particular ignites all the fireworks on demand, it's really fun!
Opinions on the Sportster S are somewhat divided, Harley-Davidson had to react here because of the Euro 5 standard, which is why the original Sportster series has disappeared from the European market. This is a fact and politically driven, it is more a question of whether the future Sportster model series based on the Revolution Max engine really belongs on the track of the old Sportster generation, or whether it would have been better to give it its own track, we can't change that anyway, but it can be discussed.
The design and character of the Revolution engine is somewhat incongruous with the old generation. Nothing can be deduced here, the engine is trimmed for torque and, in contrast to the Pan America with its 152 hp, reduced to „only“ a sporty 122 hp, but there is no real connection.
It's all very sporty and what are they going to do when the naked bike, the Bronx, actually comes along, it doesn't really fit together. It would probably have been better to simply close the Sportster chapter and open a new one.
The next Sportster models approach the old design, with modern technology
The 975 Revolution Max engine is expected soon and a new Sportster with traditional shocks and a more old school look.
Nevertheless, the Sportster S is a cool bike that will appeal to a whole new group of buyers. It's not clear why the fittings don't have the same quality of workmanship as on the Pan America and the cables on the handlebars could be laid more neatly. These are minor details, but it is the switches on the handlebars that show us the difference to the conventional Harley-Davidson operating concept.
Just a turn signal switch, that's it, we also find this system on the Pan America. You should have taken a test ride on both models, the Pan America convinced me, but the Sportster S is not necessarily my world. I would be interested to hear your impressions from your test ride, please feel free to leave them in a comment.
The design around the Revolution Max motor is limitless
The possibilities around the new Revolution Max engine are unlimited, everything new is created around the engine, which will always be the centerpiece that carries everything. The power delivery of both models is tremendous, you have to experience it once.
