Harley-davidson Low Rider St
The Harley-davidson Low Rider St has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 93 hp and weighs 358 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.
The Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST was introduced in 2022 as a sport-touring variant of the Low Rider S, blending the blacked-out, aggressive styling of the Softail line with touring capability via a large fairing and saddlebags. It is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine and represents Harley's effort to capture riders who want long-distance comfort without sacrificing the raw, dark aesthetic of the Low Rider family. The ST quickly became popular for its combination of performance, wind protection, and classic cruiser styling.

What Buyers Should Know
Milwaukee-Eight 117 Power
The Low Rider ST comes standard with Harley's largest Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine, delivering 125 ft-lbs of torque — making it one of the most powerful stock Softails ever produced.
Strong Resale Value
The Low Rider ST holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and limited production numbers, often reselling within 10-15% of its original MSRP even after a few years.
Watch Heat Management
The high-output 117 engine runs noticeably hot in slow traffic or stop-and-go riding, so buyers should inspect for any heat shield damage or aftermarket exhaust modifications that may affect leg comfort.
Generations & Specs by Year
Introduced as touring-focused Low Rider variant with Milwaukee-Eight 117, larger fuel tank, and windscreen.
Used Buyer Review
"The best all-rounder Harley has built in decades."
$16,500-$21,000 usedThe Low Rider ST is Harley finally getting the touring-sport formula right. That 117ci Milwaukee-Eight hits hard from idle and the semi-active suspension actually works — it's not marketing fluff. Used examples from 2022 onward are hitting the sweet spot where early software gremlins got ironed out but depreciation has done its job on price. Check the front forks for oil weeping and inspect the exhaust headers for bluing, both are known weak spots on early bikes. Day-to-day living with one is genuinely good. The windscreen isn't laughable like some Harley attempts, the heated grips work properly, and you can actually hustle this thing through corners without embarrassing yourself. It's no Multistrada, but it's not pretending to be. Where it falls short is passenger comfort — that rear seat is cruel for anything beyond an hour, and the luggage capacity is honest rather than impressive. Budget for a rear bag if you're touring.
