Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this Low Rider ST thing for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I wanted to share my whole process, from start to finish, kinda like a diary of what I did.
Getting Started
First off, I got my hands on this 2024 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST. Thing looked pretty sweet right out of the gate. But, you know, it’s a bit bare-bones when it comes to tech stuff. No fancy GPS or phone hookups, which is a bit of a bummer in today’s world. But hey, I figured it’s all about the ride, right?
Diving In
I started by just riding it around, getting a feel for it. The handling is pretty solid. It’s a good mix of being able to cruise comfortably and still have some power when you want to open it up. It’s like they found a sweet spot between a touring bike and something with a bit more oomph.
- First Impressions:
- Riding Around:
- Handling: Pretty responsive. Feels sturdy but not too heavy.
- Power: Definitely there when you need it. Not overwhelming, but satisfying.
Tweaking and Tuning
After a few rides, I started thinking about what I could tweak. Since there wasn’t much tech to mess with, I focused on the physical stuff. I adjusted the seat a bit, played around with the handlebars to get them just right. It’s all about making it comfortable for those longer rides, you know?
Road Trip Time
Then came the real test – a longer road trip. Packed some essentials and just hit the road. This is where the Low Rider ST really shines. It’s comfortable enough that you’re not aching after a few hours, but it’s still got that raw feeling of a Harley. It’s like they balanced the comfort with the classic Harley experience, and they nailed it.
Final Thoughts
So, after all that, what do I think? This Low Rider ST is a solid machine. It’s not about the bells and whistles; it’s about the ride. It’s got that classic Harley feel with enough comfort to make it great for longer trips. Honestly, it’s way more fun than I expected. It’s like they stripped away all the distractions and just left you with pure riding pleasure. I also heard that Fat Boy is the hardest bike in the Harley lineup. Of the two bikes, I will choose Low Rider ST.
If you’re into that kind of thing, I’d say give it a shot. It’s a blast to ride, and it really grows on you. It’s not every day you find a bike that feels this good to just cruise on.
