Nick can’t catch a break lol ! He turned his low rider into an S model - then Harley comes out with it from the factory. Then he turned his new low rider S into an ST and then Harley comes out with one from the factory! They need to give him a consulting job in Milwaukee- dude is ahead of the curve

Love this channel, just picked up my first HD, a 2022 Low Rider S. The M8 117 rocks. The gunship grey is beautiful. Heavy credit to Matt and the crew for making comprehensive and detailed review of all these bikes. I've been a Triumph guy most of my life, the new Low Rider S shows HDs willingness to evolve and adapt new tech while keeping it classic.

There’s so many aspects I love of this bike but the raised rear suspension, 117, and a 28° rake make it truly a superb machine that does everything. It looks beautiful, handles well, and can be ridden hard.

Love the whole Laidlaw crew!! Great job to all!!

Rode the LRS117 on Tuesday (8th feb).
The demo had a stage one, cobra 2into1, other than that completely stock. It was between this and a Diavel 1260. Love the look of the LRS, just wanted to see how it rode compared to the Ducati.
Positives - Pulls so hard, fantastic power. Gear box really nice, real smooth. Suspension is compliant and ride quality very good. Lean angle is pretty good, you can lean it over without too much fear. New position of the speedo is fantastic and looks cool as. Bike sounded epic with the cobra pipe.
Negatives - Doesn't transition side to side as good as I had hoped. It wasn't bad, just not super agile, the RKS is actually easier to transition side to side. Brakes are no comparison to the Brembo's.
The seat is ok but the footpegs had my knees above my hips which became a little uncomfortable. Lower back was sore after 40 minutes. Forwards wont work with the new breather, so either change the breather and get forwards or get a higher seat.
The bike was really good overall but not great for me. I bought a Ducati Diavel 1260 the next day.

I subscribed to this channel because i like Matt's reviews, not into hearing anyone else. These other guys don't have the same vibe.

Thanks for the video. Wish the fat bob had a 5 gal tank… the 5 gal tank on the lrs is the difference maker for me.

I'm thinking this is the way Harley Davidson needed to go. The Lowrider S is not necessarily a target market for me or even allot of buyers my age. They need a performance bike at a reasonable price for the new or newer riders that were looking for a Harley Davidson that just wasn't there. I'm glad to see they're going the right direction. If I were 10 or 15 years younger I would be looking. Thanks for the look. As always you did a top shelf review!

[ryanlasvegas]

Matt, thanks again for the quick response! I picked up my '22 Low Rider S last month in Las Vegas but I was ready to come grab one from you. Love the content and reviews, keep 'em comin.

[chrisblack]

Nick, Matt and Andy, the Harley biker boyz! Lol.

The Laidlaw's crew Killin it almost like a softail with a 117

I love the Laidlaw crews, Matt you are so calming in your presentation .
I love the Low Rider S, but Im still waiting for the chrome version to come out, so bummed Harley did not offer it as an option.
I have the standard low rider chromed, love it love it, get so many compliments! Just got back from Daytona bike week, talked to Harley at there displays, told him I would buy the Low Rider ST on the spot if he can get me a chrome version, he said he’s had a ton of people ask why no chrome version, he said he plans on passing that info along to Harley.

[garrysceppa]

Your a legend in the game you never cease to amaze me with your content .

[MrAndrew]

I don't understand why Harley didn't put that single instrument gauge on the ST. Really don't like that digital bar set up.

[cmbranso]

Another great video from you and your team. The detailed content is so much better than everyone else.

[tetlow]

Did Harley Davidson thank you for the flrst idea and groundwork? That is your bike, as far as I see it. Congratulations on being able to see your idea come to fruition.

[GhettoGatesss]

Thank you Andrew for saying what we all want to say about dynas!

Thanks for the reply as another dealer here on You Tube when I asked said Harley is using a special oil and they do not provide a rain sock as it is not needed anymore for that air filter. Also if you look up that filter in the Harley parts page, they offer no rain sock and other people were concerned also so this is why I asked. Here is the answer from Doc Harley, ''Yes that is what HD is posting...Doc''
