Harley-Davidson Low Rider S: Milwaukee's King Of Cool!
ICONIC. Aspirational. Instantly recognisable. Pop Culture King. And unapologetically cool. It is not hard to guess that the one motorcycle manufacturer that can be referred to as any and all of the above is Harley-Davidson. We recently got our hands on a Low Rider S and it really makes us want to talk about it.

The Milwaukee marquee has been making motorcycles for around 117 years now and to this day and their motorcycles have been what a lot of motorcycles have aspired to be. While a history lesson on Harley-Davidson is not needed for the most part (we all know that), a little history on the Low Rider S will do one good.

So, the Low Rider S is the spiritual successor of the Dyna Low Rider, perhaps the most loved Harley-Davidsons of all time. So it was natural for people to cause an uproar when it was axed. Why? We don’t know. But we guess it was to make way for the Low Rider S, the new kid on the Softail block that aims to not only better its predecessor, but to add more riders to the bandwagon. Will it succeed? God only knows. Should it? To that, we give you a ‘H*ll yeah!’

One look at the Low Rider S and you can tell what Harley-Davidson was up to. Tall handlebar, mid-mounted pegs, a mini fairing complete with colour matching, and 19”-16” wheel combination. It is meant to make you look like you don’t give two sh*ts about the world when you are out on the Low Rider S. The only thing you care about is the sports-cruiser pedigree of the motorcycle and lyrically accurate recital of Hardwired by Metallica. We aren’t kidding.
