Conclusion - what sticks
The new Low Rider ST delivers what it promises: Sportand Touring. At first glance, you wouldn't believe how sporty you can be with it. Of course, it is neither a proven curve robber nor a machine for beginners, it is simply too heavy for that. If you can handle the weight, you get a real power cruiser without a lot of frills. At its heart is the outstanding engine with the outrageous torque feeling.The test machine was kindly provided to us by Harley Davidson Kiel . There the Low Rider ST and many other Harleys will be on display and looking forward to test riders. By the way, Harley Kiel is "Harley Dealer of the Year 2021" - and rightly so. The guys there are just super nice and especially sympathetic is the house dog, with whom you can play throwing sticks for hours.
Conclusion - what sticks
The Sport Glide drives us with its optics, its engine, the sound and its whole being directly into the heart. Even Dietmar, otherwise not exactly a fan of cruisers, is enthusiastic. If Harley is foreign to you so far, but would like to try out a cruiser, the Sport Glide is a good choice. The touring capabilities are not to be underestimated and the removable cases and front fairing are a clever gimmick that turn the Tourer schwuppdiwupp into a thoroughbred cruiser. Cool bike!The test machine was provided by Harley Davidson Kiel . Go there, Marius and his boys are super nice and show you a really nice test drive route around the nearby lake. Of course, there are also other Harleys who are also looking forward to a test ride with you.
