I worked for Harley dealer and ordered 2010 all black Nightster. I uncrated it, I did pre delivery, i put on all new parts and I still have it in 2026

I ride a 2021 Sportster Forty-Eight. I bought her in 2023, not in spite of her being discontinued, but because she was one of the last air cooled Sportsters.<br><br>After a few tasteful mods, including replacing the stock 11” shocks with 13” Legend Revos, Corbin saddle and of course a Stage One, this bike is reasonably comfortable, and so much fun to ride.

I owned an 2009 XR1200 for 7 years. Fun pissing off the rice rockets on the twisties.

I love these videos you do highlighting the heritage of great Harley Davidson bikes. So many cool Sportsters over the years. Clearly it's a bike they should bring back, who had the bright idea to discontinue? Even the ones you listed as your least favorite still had their own kind of cool. I always thought that the EVO Sportsters were among the best sounding Harley engines as well. Just freakin cool motorcycles. Great video sir 🔥🔥

Great infos, especially about the background of the name or number 48. BTW the Sportster Evo motor was developed with Porsche. My first Harley was 2013 a Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom, so still my favourite, but I like the look of the 72 also and performance wise the roadster. Matt and Crew Happy New Year! 🎆

Of all the old bikes I had in the past, it's always the Sportsters that I miss the most. They have a character that all other bikes just don't have, and it's kinda hard to pin down exactly what makes them so great. They're just great.
