We Say: The Newest Addition To The Softail Line Is Here. Is It Just As Good As The Rest?
To be honest, the last generation of Softails weren’t the most impressive motorcycles. The chassis’ were too ‘flex-y’ and the engine was a bit rough. But ever since we rode the newest generation of Softails, we haven’t had any of these complaints. And this here, is the latest of that same line to arrive in India. Say hello to the Low Rider – the motorcycle that, in Harley’s own words, captures the very essence of the freedom that the brand holds close to its heart.
But what is it? Harley says that the styling is straight out of the ’70s. That means sweeping handlebars, classic cruiser dimensions and some chrome here and there.
At the heart of the matter, the Low Rider is very much a Softail. That means the new chassis and suspension cradling the new Milwaukee-8 motor. The suspension needs some mention here as the updated front and rear makes for a very sporty, yet pliant ride. The rear is a monoshock but with remote preload adjustability. It has more travel than the old Softails, so yay! Special mention for the front-end though. The cartridge-type fork comes from Showa and it gives the Low Rider some very sporty dynamics.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE
Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
