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.
