I wouldn’t go so far as to call this bike flickable, but a reduction in rake geometry (from 30 degrees to 28), certainly makes tossing all 680 pounds of bike to-and-fro an easy affair at speed. It doesn’t take long to hit the 30.1-degree lean angle limits thankfully the pegs aren’t rigid-mounted. Running through the kinks that pervade the Laguna Mountains outside of San Diego, the LRS felt planted, stable and hungry for more.

At idle, sure, it’s a loping potato-potato affair, but between 3,200 and 4,500 rpm, the Low Rider S bellows gruff Americana. I don’t worship at the church of “loud pipes save lives”, but there’s really nothing else like the rumble of a Harley V-Twin.

There’s no denying Harley-Davidson’s importance to the world of motorcycling. Powertrain: 114-cubic-inch V-twin, six-speed belt drive transmission 119 pound-feet of torque
