Overview

Introducing the 2019 Harley-Davidson Sportster Superlow—a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom and individuality that Harley is renowned for. Positioned as a custom-cruiser, the Superlow caters to riders seeking a blend of classic styling and modern performance. With a price tag starting at US$ 8,699, it stands as an accessible entry point into the Harley-Davidson family, appealing to both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a nimble and versatile ride. At the heart of the Superlow lies a robust 883cc V2 engine, delivering a spirited 52.3 horsepower at 5,750 RPM and a torque-rich 74.58 Nm at 3,750 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse is designed for urban commuting and open-road cruising alike, providing a smooth yet exhilarating experience. The six-speed gearbox ensures that power is delivered seamlessly, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine running cool during those long rides. With a fuel consumption of just 4.60 liters per 100 kilometers (equating to an impressive 51.13 mpg), the Superlow is not only a thrill to ride but also a practical choice for everyday use. The 2019 Sportster Superlow is packed with features that enhance both comfort and control. It boasts a low seat height of just 25.5 inches, making it accessible for riders of all sizes, while the adjustable suspension allows for a personalized riding experience. With options for ABS on both the front and rear brakes, safety is a priority, providing confident stopping power when needed. The motorcycle's sleek design is complemented by a range of color options, including Vivid Black and Twisted Cherry, allowing riders to express their individuality while cruising in style. **

Pros

  • Accessible Low Seat Height: At 25.5 inches, it’s perfect for riders who prefer a lower center of gravity.
  • Excellent Fuel Efficiency: With an impressive 51.13 mpg, it’s economical for both commuting and long-distance rides.
  • Iconic Harley Styling: Classic design elements ensure it stands out on the road while maintaining the Harley-Davidson legacy.

Cons

  • Basic Instrumentation: The dashboard features are minimal, lacking advanced tech options found on many contemporary motorcycles.
