Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2021
The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride. The single-disc brake at the front works well and the fat 160 front tyre steers better than you would expect. Only the hard suspension makes the rider suffer on longer distances - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.
Harley-Davidson V-Rod Street Rod VRSCR 2007
The Harley-Davidson V-Rod Street Rod may be a very special Harley-Davidson, far removed from typical Harley features and straddling the cruiser and sports motorbike worlds, which ultimately explains its low popularity. But even if it is neither fish nor fowl, the Street Rod has a lot to offer. Solid suspension, willing turning behaviour, good brakes, a great-sounding engine and a high maximum lean angle. Anyone who wants to whizz through tight bends without missing out on a certain American flair and V2 charm should take a closer look at the Street Rod. The combination of a sporty chassis, active riding position and powerful V2 certainly has the potential to make the right type of rider happy.
