Conclusion - what sticks
The new Sportster S is unmistakably a Harley Davidson. However, it is a NEW Harley that is not only visually polarized, but also technically so stuffed that one or the other purist will probably turn up his nose. Especially younger riders will be happy to be able to move a real Harley with so many bells and whistles.We think it's good that the Sportster S comes along so independently and has corners and edges. It has character and is absolutely unmistakable. Nevertheless, we have selected competitors that are at least similar to the Sportster S: Indian FTR 1200 S and Honda CMX 1100 Rebel are still the most suitable.
The test bike was provided to us by Harley Davidson in Kiel. If you want to test drive them there: We recommend a round around the Westensee!
