Harley-Davidson Softail Low Rider ST 2023

In the saddle of the Low Rider ST, which is by no means soft, you just want to ride off, preferably far, far away, Route 66 immediately comes to mind. But the bike is also capable of winding country roads and mountain passes, and offers plenty of performance not only from the rev monster Millwaukee Eight 117, but also in terms of chassis and handling. From this point of view, those Harley-Davidson fans who ordered it practically blind without a test ride didn't do much wrong.

a superior engine in every situation

stable chassis

surprisingly agile handling

comfortable seat

unadulterated performance thanks to the absence of electronic assistance systems.

Manageable lean angle clearance

pillion seat is an extra charge

braking at sporty speeds requires a lot of hand power.
