                  Buying in the Harley Davidson
                  Buying in the Harley Davidson Sportster S was one of those life - checklist moments. The showroom experience was premium - smooth paperwork, helpful staff and they make you fell like your joining a legacy. The moment I saw the bike in person matte finish, fat tires and that signature LED headlamp - it felt like a modern day muscle cruiser straight out of a comic book. Performance wise, the Revolutionary Max 1250 T is a monster. It doesn’t feel like a traditional Harley - it’s faster, sportier and more aggressive. Twist the throttle and it takes off like a sports bike. In Bengaluru’s NICE road, it’s an absolute blast! In a city traffic the engine heat is noticeable. Overall the Sportster S isn’t just a bike. It’s a statement. No regrets - just miles of smiles.

                  Bike has good appearance and dynamic road presentation but you will face heating issue while riding the bike around your feet. Mileage is good according to the engine power and this bike is a gem a perfect combination of power, looks, style and a complete package of performance electronics, engine, suspension and design wise.
