Harley-davidson Sportster S
The Harley-davidson Sportster S has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated; Harley-Davidson does not publish an official figure), produces 121 hp and weighs 228 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Harley-Davidson Sportster S se presentó en 2021 como una reinvención completa del icónico linaje Sportster, sustituyendo los modelos basados en Evolution refrigerados por aire por una plataforma completamente moderna. Está propulsada por el motor bicilíndrico en V Revolution Max 1250T refrigerado por líquido, que también es la base de la bicicleta de aventura Pan America, lo que supone un salto tecnológico espectacular para la marca. El modelo se destacó por posicionar a la Sportster como un roadster centrado en el rendimiento, en lugar de un cruiser básico, con una suspensión y modos de conducción totalmente ajustables.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Revolutionary Revolution Max Engine
The Sportster S is powered by Harley's liquid-cooled Revolution Max 1250T engine — a major departure from air-cooled Sportster tradition. This modern engine runs cooler and cleaner, making it more reliable in stop-and-go traffic and hot climates.
Watch for Software Glitches
Early model year (2021-2022) Sportster S bikes had reported ECU and ride-by-wire software issues causing rough idle or stalling. Always verify the bike has the latest dealer-installed firmware updates before purchasing.
Strong Resale Value
As Harley's flagship modern sportbike, the Sportster S holds its value notably well compared to competitors, often retaining 75-85% of MSRP in the first two years. Its limited production numbers and strong demand help protect your investment.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The most exciting Harley in decades, but buy one carefully."
$11,000-$14,500 usedThe Sportster S is genuinely one of the more interesting things Harley has done in years. That Revolution Max 1250 engine is the real deal — 121 horsepower sounds like marketing fluff until you actually twist the throttle and feel it pull hard past 6,000rpm. It doesn't ride like any Harley you've touched before. Used examples are appearing around the $11-14k mark now, and honestly that's when it starts making sense financially. Here's the honest part though: check the suspension setup carefully on any used example. The ergonomics are notoriously aggressive for a Harley — forward pegs, low bars — and tall riders genuinely struggle on longer rides. Previous owners often fitted aftermarket seats or risers, which is actually a green flag on used bikes. Also confirm the electronics haven't been tampered with; the ride-by-wire and cornering ABS are genuinely useful here. Battery issues cropped up on early 2021-2022 bikes, so ask for service history and check for the software updates. It's a polarising machine but an exciting one.
