I currently have been riding a Sportster Custom for the past 3 years. I only have one complaint. It’s an EVO 1200. I’m 73, and a little smoother ride might be the thing. No complaints about anything. It has a Stage 1 that brought it to life. Sounds great, looks great, rides almost great. The Softail is the next logical jump. 550 lbs to 650 lbs. I don’t want to handle more than that. Anyway, your review was great. When I find a good day, might have to take a test ride. Thanks Alf.

I've been a BMW guy; I still have two but just bought this model. I love everything about it

I've never owned a Harley until a year ago, and the Slim was my weapon of choice. This without a doubt is the best bike I've ever owned. Great to see you feel the same way about it ✌✌✌.

That's my bike! 2019 FLSL. The color is rugged gold denim. Got her earlier this year and clocked about 4500+ miles. A beauty. What's seen in your video is exactly how I bought it. I added the 18" windshield and engine guard. Dropped her once in a parking lot while I was practicing U-turns and the like! The engine guard saved the bike from damage. So get an engine guard pleassseee if you are buying a bike. I was cruising at 70 MPH and looked down at the RPM and it was just 2500 - 2700. I hardly touch 3000 RPM. So in a way it's a monster. I would like a bit more torque while taking off from a red light. So I may go for Stage 1 sometime. But let's see.
The windshield is a great add too. Keeps the wind from hitting you hard at high speeds.

Nice review! Thanks!

THIS IS THE BEST REVIEW OF THIS BIKE HANDS DOWN

[dougholland]

I ride a 2014 softail slim. I'm a short dude and the bike fits perfect. It's easy to ride around town and has the power for our highway.

I've never had a crush on a Harley before, but I love this bike. A guy had one on a group ride I did the other day and I couldn't stop admiring it. I'd take this bike over the Triumph Bobber in a heart beat... and I'm a big fan of Triumphs. I love that retro look with the spoked rims and fat tires. And those forks look bad ass. I thought a new Bonneville was going to be my next bike, but now I'm not so sure. The only thing that worries me is the forward controls, because I'm not used to that set up. I think I'd get over that pretty quick though.

I ride bikes for 50 years. Only in 2018 I looked to Harley's Softail models as a potencial buyer. Right now I'm looking for a Sport Glide to have the same practicality as a scooter, the benefits of tubless tires, and cruise control. I'm in looove.

[comanche]

I have been undecided between the Street bob and this bike... This is the review that set my mind! Thank You!

[DirtyWorka]

Glad you did this bike! I run a 2016 FLSS and absolutely love it. Outstanding scoot. Have just started doing Motovlogs in the US on mine. Having a great time with it.

[johnnyturbo]

100% agree with you brother... Just got my wife a 2019 softtail slim in Billiard blue with ABS... SHE LOVES IT, and now she can keep up with me.. shes used to have an 883 sportster.

As far as ur opinion on the Harley Logo on the riser cap.. i get what you are saying in a way, but we actually like it. Its nice to look down and be reminded you are riding a piece of Harleys legacy

[BillKrug-ei]

I own one in black. Love it. Made several mods with more comming

[ronwissinger]

I want from the stock mufflers to Vance and hines slip on mufflers witch are much louder. To now running the HD screaming eagle mufflers witch are definitely a good bit quieter but the bike actually pulls harder all the way through every gear now surprisingly 👍

[funguseater]

Agree 100% about the Tank. The Street Bob should have that Tank no brainer ! Good review

[JRockettAudio]

I have ridden performance bikes my whole life but last year I was convinced to buy a Road Glide Special. You would be surprised at how well these new Harleys handle the twisties. I have done the Tail of the Dragon many times and I have as much fun on my RGS as I do on my Super Duke GT. Props to Harley, their bikes have a unique vibe on every level but will surprise anyone who rides them hard.

[staceymydosh]

Love your review of the slim . I have purchased a 2018 and absolutely love it . An all around fun, agile and comfortable ride with enough power to play hard .
I loved listening to your sensible comments while on this ride . Hit it right on the head with it all .
The logo on the riser doesn’t really make a difference to me . But that’s me . You wanted to know haha .
Be safe and enjoy the ride

[paulhorvath]

Never Rode one But I've Always thought the Slim was one of those All time HD Icons. And with the new M8 it's a Perfect Combination of Old school look with Reliable and Modern Engineering. Right along the Deluxe, Fatboy, Low rider and Heritage..

[markhenry]

I recognise the roads you are on, A4 towards Maidenhead, favourite route for an evening ride. Great bike but I have a 48, baby Slim I always think. Great review.
