How much horsepower does a Harley have? How heavy is a Harley ? Is the iron reliable? Can two people ride on a Harley ? Should I buy a Harley ? The black matte color enhances a vicious bike look. Compared with other Harley models, very little chrome is used on the Iron. It is considered to be an introductory model in the range of the company, suitable for commuting as well. The Iron owner will comprehend the advantages of the specific brand, which may be: Low speed riding satisfaction, and a classic riding sensation.
Compared to the competition, its really closer to the sensation of a retro bike combining engine vibes, metal parts and grease which was provided by the bikes of the past. However the feeling provided to the rider is not very close to the ultimate sensation provided by the top models of the brand.
In order to point out the differences with other makes and reviews, extreme riding aspects were also evaluated. These are not significant to Harley - Davidson owners. From the other hand, in our days, a sense of practicality is appreciated to everything we use. That may apply to mythical symbols, as well. Riding the Iron is interesting, I've owned a lot of bikes, Italian, Jap etc. Engine: Sounds great with the right pipes, lots of vibration coming up through the bars when power is laid on.
Torque is pleasant. When the traffic slows, the bike will plod nicely without 'hunting for fuel' too much, just get the gear right. Gearbox: Agricultural with a big old clonk as you go through the gears. In this day and age, could be slicker.
Handling: Surprisingly good, the bike is nimble around town and as it is narrow, filters through cars quite well. Bike balance is good, centre of gravity good. For a heavyish bike, its nimble going through the traffic.
Its a little low down, but its OK for average height riders. When Harley-Davidson makes changes to the Iron , they stay faithful to at least one important aspect — performance. Nothing in the Harley world comes out of the hole like a Sporty, or handles the corners like one, and the Iron maintains that tradition with aplomb. Bikes like this show how the XL line has not only survived, but also thrived in the entry-level and sport-minded American markets.
Drilled-out components that include the exhaust shields are an old-school method for lightening the overall heft for the performance gain it brings. I'll check for you later today if you dont have an answer. But again, 40mph sounds kinda high to me for 1st gear. OK, I'll post that I can go just above 40 in 1st and it still has a little left but is past the power curve. Good question, I've wondered the same thing. BTW: My ride is a , 4 speed.
At 40 mph on a stock late model XL like yours, you're running about 5, rpm.
